le Longs in Boucher

"The relationship between the various members of the Le Long family at the Cape cannot yet be fully elucidated. Elisabeth {Le_Longue-2 or Le_Long-25?} was perhaps the sister of Charles and Jean le Long (Le_Longue-3?); Jean had a daughter Marie (Le_Long-2?) and it seems not unlikely that the Jacques le Long who died early in 1707 at the hands of a certain Abraham Jacob was Jean’s son. Jacques le Long is presumably the Jacobus le Long whose name is encountered among the Drakenstein burgher infantry shortly before that date. J.Hoge’s researches have established that Charles le Long came to the United Provinces from the Palatinate, while more recently A.M. Hugo has suggested that Elisabeth might have been the daughter of a Blois attorney Louis le Long and his wife Marie Baignoulx, born in 1653. This possibility is reinforced by Paul de Felice’s assertion that a Pierre Baignoulx preached a sermon at the Cape towards the end of the seventeenth century. On the other hand, the Elisabeth le Long at the Cape would seem to have been a much younger woman. The Le Long emigration is associated with the sailing of the Suijdbeveland from Zeeland on April 22, 1688, the vessel which brought to the Cape the pastor Simond, to be discussed in a later chapter, his wife Anne de Berault and her brother Louis. As the Beraults came from the L’Aigle district in Normandy, perhaps the Le Longs hailed from the same town. The name is known there. However the ship also carried refugees from Dieppe, where a Calvinist servant Jean le Long was living in 1686. Pp120-1" (Boucher.M (1981). French speakers at the Cape: The European Background.
