On the three le Roux progenitors

Jean le Roux was a Huguenot emigrant (1540-1790).

Jehan le Roux (1565-1602) married Marie Dutens (1570-1594) and had two sons: (a) Estienne le Roux (1588-?) + (b) Jean le Roux (1593-1668) ^[1]

(a) Estienne le Roux (1588) had son Isaac le Roux (1615-1687) who married Jeanne Bourdon (1634-15 April 1372). Isaac and Jeanne had a son Jean le Roux (1666-1711) - Born on 16 November 1666 on farm Pommegorge ^[1] in Mer, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France. (It has been mentioned that he was christened on the same day as Gabriel). ^[1]

(b) Jean le Roux (1593) and Jeanne Chauffourt (1600-1672) had a son Pierre le Roux (1632-1682) who married Anne Bourdon (1639-1672). Pierre le Roux (1632) and Anne had a son Gabriel (Born: 25 July 1667 in Cour-Cheverny, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France. Christened in Blois, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France 28 July 1669). ^[1]

Gabriel le Roux - born 25 July 1667 (baptism 1669) in Cour-Cheverny, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France. Christened in Blois, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France 28 July 1669. Son of Pierre le Roux (1632-1682) en Anne Bourdon. Gabriel’s parents moved to Pommegorge ^[1] in 1672 where he grows up with Jean le Roux, his nephew. Jean and his nephew Gabriel were very close and often referred to each other as brothers. ^[2] They left Pommegorge, Mer, Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France on 4 November 1686 and escaped to Delft, Netherlands. On 31 December 1687 they left on the ship Voorschooten ^[3] to the Cape. ^[1]

Jean le Roux (Born 16 Nov 1666): Owned the farms Goede Moed in Southern Paarl from 1690 to 1700; farm Parys in Klein Drakenstein from 1700 to 1712. He drowned with Gabriel in the Berg- or Wildeperdsrivier in 1711. Jean was married (c1703) to Jeanne Mouy Born *c. 1686 St. Amand, Flandres, France, daughter of Pierre Mouy. ^[1][2][4]

Gabriel le Roux owned the farms La Concorde in Southern-Paarl from 1689 to 1695 and (swapped it for) Salomonsvlei in Klein Drakenstein from 1695 to 1711 (Gabriel and Jean wanted their farms to be closer together.) Gabriel married c. 1701 Marie Catherine le Febre, daughter of Pierre le Febre en Marie de Grave, from Fleurbaai, Stellenbosch (christened in Stellenbosch on 13 Oct 1686). She died at Gouritsriviermond on 01 Nov 1782. Gabriel drowned with Jean in the Berg- or Wildepaardrivier before 8 Nov 1711. The two Le Roux widows both had their sons baptized (born after their father’s deaths) on 8 Nov 1711. Both had to receive assistance from the ‘diakonie’ (from the church). Marie Catherine le Febre re-married 11 September 1712 - Jean Roi (died 1720). Marie Catherine re-married a 3rd time in 1723 - Franz Haarhoff" (died 1758). Jeanne Mouy married again on 7 May 1712 - Philippe Meinard (1681-1751). ^[1][2][4]

3rd Le Roux: Jean le Roux who came to SA:

Jean le Roux of Normandie in France. Landed 27 Jan 1687 in Cape Town, on the ship Wapen van Alkmaar ^[5] Owned farms Vlakkeland, Daljosafat van 1692 to 1705; Langverwag, Kuilsrivier van 1721 to 1726; Welgevallen, Stellenbosch van 1723 to 1752. Occupation: Transportryer van 1705 tot 1725. Died 1752. Married in 1700 Marie le Lievre. ^[1][4]

Alhoewel defiitiewe bewyse ontbreek, word algemeen aanvaar dat hierdie Hugenoot van Normandië afkomstig was, veral omdat in dokumente na horn verwys word as Jean le Roes (soms Jean Roes) de Normandie. Self teken hy as Jean Leroux (soms Leroex). Hy het tussen Oktober 1688 en Mei 1689 aan die Kaap geland. In 1692 word die plaas Vlakkeland in Daljosafat aan hom toegeken en in 1694 kry hy oordrag van die grond. In 1700 trou hy met Marie de Haase (eintlik le Lievre), die oudste dogter van ‘n gesin wat vroër dieselfde jaar van Ryssel in Frans-Vlaandere na die Kaap gekom het. Sy plaas Vlakkeland dra hy in 1704 oor aan sy skoonvader Guillaume de Haas. Terwyl sy gesin op Vlakkeland bly woon, begin hy ‘n transportryersbesigheid en verkry vir die doel ‘n besigheidsperseel in Kaapstad en ‘n stuk grond naby Kuilsrivier as weiding vir sy trekdiere. Na sy aftrede in 1723 gaan woon hy en sy gesin op Welgevallen by Stellenbosch waar Marie in 1751 en Jean in 1752 oorlede is. ^[6][7]

18. ↑ Willem Adriaan van der stel succeeded his father, Simon van der Stel, as Governor of the Cape in 1699; Willem van der Stel abused his official position to corner an over-supplied market in farm produce. Van der Stel was jealous of Adam Tas's wealth and easy going life, and in 1706 he used his legal powers to arrest and imprison him. Tas became a Stellenbosch legend when he had this petition drawn up against incumbent Governor W.A. van der Stel and other farming officials. Tas and his fellow free burghers were protesting against the corruption and extravagant lifestyle of Van der Stel and the fact that abuse of power by officials led to unfair competition with burghers. The Tas petition was submitted to the Lords Seventeen, the governing body of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), in Amsterdam. The petition was rejected and on Sunday, 28 February 1706 Magistrate Starrenburg arrested Adam Tas. From documents in the desk of Tas, Van der Stel established the nature of complaints against him and also the names of the dissatisfied burghers. Though several more burghers were arrested and punished, they were victorious at the end, when the Lords Seventeen in October 1706 categorically prohibited officials to own land or to trade. His wife Elizabeth van Brakel tried hard to get him released; when Adam Tas was finally freed after thirteen months, he named his farm 'Libertas' (liberty). Van der Stel was recalled to the Netherlands in 1707. Sources:
