Biography

Arrived 1688 with parents / Arriveer op die "Wapen van Alkmaar", behorende aan die Kamer van Amsterdam met Kaptain Carel Goske in bevel. Vertrek uit Texel op 27 Julie 1688 en arriveer in die Kaap op 27 Januarie 1689. Suster van Susanna Gardiol. She arrived at the Cape in 1689 together with her sister Susanne and her mother, Marguerite Perrotette.

Marguerite was born in 1669. Marguerite Gardiol passed away in 1749. ^[1]

DE VILLIERS, Abraham, Pierre, and Jacob, three brothers, vine-dressers from the neighbourhood of La Rochelle, arrived here in the Zion on the 6th May 1689. In a despatch from the Chamber of Delft, dated 16th Dec. 1688, and received by the Zion, special reference is made to these three brothers as possessing a good knowledge of the cultivation of the vine, and recommending the Governor to give them every assistance. In this despatch the names are mentioned in the following order—(1) Pierre, (2) Abraham, and (3) Jacob, which may perhaps indicate the order of seniority. In the Distribution List 1690 we have Abraham DE VILLIERS ‘with wife and two brothers,’ and among Drakenstein families 1692: Abraham DE VILLIERS ‘with wife and two children,’ Jacob DE VILLIERS ‘with wife and two children,’ and Pierre DE VILLIERS ‘with wife and one child.’ Abraham married 1689 Susanne GARDIOL, and left nothing but daughters. ^[2]

Jacob married Marguerite GARDIOL, first baptismal entry 1693. Pierre Married Elizabeth TAILLEFER, first baptismal entry 1699. ^[2]

I have taken a good deal of trouble to find out the relative ages of these brothers, but have only succeeded in ascertaining Jacob’s from a joint will executed 11th Jan. 1719, in which he gives his age as 58 years and describes himself as a native of ‘Borgondien.’ His wife (Marguerite GARDIOL) is stated in the same document to have been born in Provence and to be 45 years old. ^[2]

The DE VILLIERS are at the present time the most numerous of the Huguenot families here, and are all descendants of Pierre and Jacob. ^[2]

A family tradition states that four brothers left their home, but the youngest (Paul) after having gone some distance became homesick, turned back, and was never heard of again. ^[2]

Pierre, Abraham, Jacques, et Paul DE VILLIERS sortirent du royaume de France 1685. Ils etaient fils de Pierre DE VILLIERS. (Archives de La Rochelie.) ^[2]
