His wife, Maria LE FEBRE, died about Sept. 1700, leaving an only child Pieter 6 ½ years old. He then married Elisabeth POSSEAUX, and died in 1723, leaving two children by her. Elisabeth and Johannes. Elisabeth POSSEAU, spinster, of Paris, 18 years old, embarked from Delft in April 1700, with the SELLJERS and COUVRETS, and arrived here in August 1700 by the Reigersdaal. Pieter BISSEUX, is described in his Marriage Entry (1729) as being from Middelburg in Zeelandt.’ He appears to have had no children, and the family in the male line became extinct. Elisabeth BISSEUX married a son of Captain Oloff Bergh, often mentioned in Mr. Theal’s ‘Chronicles of Cape Commanders,’ and the present family of BERGHS is for the most part descended from her. [1]
