Gidéon Legrand, a surgeon from Compiègne in Picardy, who lived and worked in Stellenbosch and Drakenstein, died in 1710 leaving his estate to his brother, Abraham in Haarlem in the Netherlands.

Thx Andrew

@Bron Die Hugenote van Suid-Afrika deur Pieter Coertzen gee agter in lys van al die Hugenote.
p164 Le Grand, Gideon (Gedeon, Gédéon) het gekom van Compiegné, Ille-de-France en later Picardi. Het ongeveer in 1699 in SA aangekom. Vestig hom in die Paarl. Daar word ook bespiegel dat hy 'n Sjirurgyn was. Was dus 'n laatkommer Hugenoot.

Dankie Rina.
Wonder of Louis en Gideon selfde persoon was?
Mooi gekyk was misken Le Grange maar definitief le Grand.

Gideon le Grand

@Phillip, Page 102 of the same book about the Huguenots.is a page from Gideon le Grands journal. It is in Frensch so I am not able to read it. It is dated 1710. According to the text he was a chirurgyn and not a farmer. The text confirm his religious belief.
The farm Picardi is today in the centre of Paarl and Pieter van der Bijls was Babilonstooren in Simondium which still has the same name and is worth a visit in September each year when 10000 clivias are blooming. Accoding to the book, Paarlvallei 1687-1987 the farm was granted to Van der Bijl in 1692 and made official in 1698 p 17 and18.

Pierre Grange (La Grange, Le Grange) was a cousin of Louis Courbonne.
He came from Cabriéres-d'Aigues (Provence) in 1688 with the ship China and lived in Cape Town. He was married to Margaretha Kool from Amsterdam and had one son and one daughter.
Huguenot book p161.

Thx Rina

Louis le Grand name between Babilonstoren and Pieter van der Bijl farms on the Berg River

@ I typed Louis le Grand in on Geni and landed in the end at Louis XVI of France. It seems as if all his children was le Grands.
I got Pierre la Grange as the SV/Prog He had a son Johannes.
I found another a Louis Francois la Grange who was the son of Johannes Petrus and Anna b6c6. He was farming near Tulbach. I am sending the information to you separately.

So did the King of France also like Paarl ?
