M Boucher's "French Speakers at the Cape" page 267-8

"From Sas van Gent Jacques de Savoye went to Middelburg, where his wife gave birth to a son Jacques and, it would seem, to a daughter Jacquette, baptised on April 2 1687. It was from the Zeeland capital, after a public sale of household goods, that Jacques and his family left for the Cape of Good Hope. [Reference given FWK:(De) Savoye; FRANKEN, 'Franse vlugtelinge', IV, Die huisgenoot, X, 214, April 30, p.15.]

From Delia Robertson -

"The source for Jacquette comes from Boucher, M: French Speakers at the Cape in his section on Jacques de Savoye snr at pp.264-269. Jacquette was baptised with her brother Jacques (a twin?) on April 12, 1687 in Middelburg, Zeelant. Boucher is considered very reliable, but I have been checking every now and then to see if the records for Middelburg ever pop up on any of the Netherlands sites or on familysearch.
However nothing yet. If you can add to the sourcing for any of these, or other families, I would be grateful.

.I do have her as died young ... ca Jan 1688 ... in my data, but that tag did not make it on to the website. It will be included in the next update."
