Susanna Seugnet came to SA from Saintes (in Saintonge) in 1689, together with her sisters, Claudine en Jeanne. [The ship's name is possibly the Berg China, because we know her sister, Claudine's husband of 1689 - Paul Roux - travelled on this ship, but this assumes that marriage pre-dated the voyage, and Paul comes from Orange (in Comtat Venaissin), so perhaps not a safe assumption - Sharon]
On 12 Feb 1690 she married Francois du Toit, who had come from from Lille (in Flandre) in 1686 na die Kaap aan boord die Vrijheit. Francois du Toit owned ‘Die Kleine Bos’ in Dal Josaphat; ‘Zoetnedal’ – an annex to Wagenmakers Vallei; & ‘Limiet Rivier on the Compagnies Rivier, Waveren, above the Company’s Old Post [G.C.Botha Map Showing Huguenot Farms] Hy was 'n Heemraad vir Drakenstein en het 'n belangrike rol gespeel in die vryburgers se stryd teen goewerneur W.A. van der Stel.
Coertzen says she had 4 sons and 5 daughters
