Biography

Gebeurtenisse

Jan(Jean) Blignaut (a1) kom in 1723 as soldaat op die skip "Huis ten Assenburg" aan die Kaap. Hy het waarskynlik ook sy ouers Pieter B en Elisabeth Desordes uit Europa laat oorkom aangesien sy moeder as getuie van sy oudste dogtergeteken het. Hy was onder andere besitter van die pragtige plaas "Zion". [1]
Jean BLIGNAUT (vandag BLIGNAULT of BLIGNOOT), het lank na die aankoms van die eerste Hugenote in Suid-Afrika aangekom. waarskynlik ook sy ouers, Pieter Blignaut en Elisabeth Desordes uit Europa laat oorkom, sy moeder is getuie by doop van oudste dogter, skoolmeester vir kinders van Daniel Hugod, dien as heemraad en ook kassier van gemeente Drakenstein, deur sy huwelik word hy eienaar van verskeie plase, maar woon op Bethel, hy was o.a. ook besitter van die plaas Zion. Sy naam kom egter voor onder die Franse vlugtelinge wat behandel word in "Huguenot Families at the Cape of GoodHope". Nadat Jean Holland bereik het, het hy in diens getree van die Vereenigde Oos-Indiese Kompanjie. [1]
Daar word beweer dat Daniël Hugo vir Jean genader het as onderwyser vir sy kinders. Jean was egter nie lank skoolmeester nie, want Daniël is sowat 'n jaar na Jean se aankoms oorlede. [1]
In 7 November 1725 is hy getroud met Anna ROUSSEAU, weduwee van Daniel Hugo en het besitter van verskeie plase geword, onder andere die pragtige plaas Zion. Anna was gedoop 8 July 1694 en was die tweede kind van Pierre Rousseau en Anne Retief. [1]
Volgens een van die bronne waaruit inligting aangaande Jean en sy vrou se eerste man, Daniël Hugo, blyk dit dat Daniël, Jan se ouma, se broer was. Daniël was 40 toe hy getroud is met Anna, terwyl sy 'n meisie van 14 was. Jean het sy ouers uit Europa laat kom, want sy moeder teken as getuie by die doop van sy oudste dogter. Hy was kassier van die Drakenstein gemeente en dien ook op die Drakensteinse heemraad. [1]
Hy was die seun van Pieter Blignault en Elisabeth Desbordes. Hy het verskeie plase besit: Bethel waarop hy gewoon het, Zion en Vleesbank.
Jean het sy naam as Jan begin geskryf kort nadat hy Suid Afrika toe gekom het. 'n Handtekening van hom in 'n kerkraadsnotuleregister, gedateer 1734, van die eerste kerk in die Paarl bevestig dit. Daar bestaan ook verwarring oor die oorspronklike spelling van die van Blignaut. Al die handtekeninge van Jean was geteken Jan Blignaut en nie Blignault soos verkeerdelik vermoed word nie. Daar is wel van Jean se afstammelinge wat die van Blignault gebruik. Die verbuiging is egter beperk tot 'n klein groepie mense. Hulle het 2 seuns en 3 dogters nagelaat. [1]
