Biography
Jehan Gruson was the Protestant ancestor of a Huguenot emigrant to Dutch Cape Colony South Africa.
Jean Gruson was born ca. 1590 in Steenwerck, Flandres francaises, part of the Spanish Netherlands in the late 16th Century. Now in the Nord departement in France. [1]
He married Catherine Dassonville, aka Dassonneville, ca 1590-1630. They were Huguenots or French-speaking Protestant Christians although they likely kept this a secret during these times of religious persecution and living in the Roman-Catholic-ruled Hapsburg Netherlands.
He was known as a "Bourgeois d'Ypres" during his lifetime. [Bourgeois of Ypres, a city in West Flanders, now in Belgium; under Hapsburg rule in 1600s]. [2]
He died around 1635 in Ypres, West Flanders, Spanish Netherlands (today in Belgium).
Jean was born about 1595. He passed away about 1655.
