Barbe le Févre, SM/PROG

In Boucher

Arrivals at the Cape in 1683 were Pierre le Fevre, his wife Marie de Grave and their son Guillaume. It is possible that Pierre was also accompanied by his sister Barbe, born about the year 1670. This family came from the village of Fleurbaix, west of Lille in the Pays de l’Al- leu. ( BOTHA, French refugees, p. 91; J. HOGE, 'Aantekeninge oor Huge- note’, TWK, Nuwe Reeks, VI, 1, Nov. 1945, p. 18).

Nicolaus CLEEF was van Groszsalze in Duitsland. Op 16 Desember 1685 word 'n kind gedoop in die Kaapstad se kerk - "Adam Sol - Sara de moeder slavin, de vader Niclaus Kleef, die getuie was Jan Pasqual". Ons weet dat Jan Pasqual in die slawe logie gewerk het, so heelmoontlik het Sara ook deel uitgemaak van die logie, daarom tree op as die getuie. Adam Sol het dan ook 'n kind laat doop en dit is opgeskrywe in die Kaapstadse se doopregister. Adam Sol en Maria van Coromandel (sy was dan seker ook 'n slaafin) het 'n kind - Adam gedoop op 23 November 1710, die getuienis was Jacob Cornelis van Malabaar en Sara van Madagascar. SJ Haford in The Griquas of Griqualand maak melding dat Adam Kok gebore was in 1710 en dan hy gewerk het as 'n kok by die goeweneur. Of hierdie die een en selfde persoon is kan ons nie met sekerheid sê nie. Waar het die slaafin Sara wat Nicolaas Cleef 'n kind gehad het vandaan gekom? Dit is heel moontlik dat die slaafin Sara die een en selfde vrou was wat die getuie was in in 1710 naamlik Sara VAN MADAGASCAR. Ons kan dan sê dat hierdie Adam (Wat heelmoontlik Adam KOK was) wat in 1710 gebore was, se afkoms is 25% Duitse, 25% Madagascar en 50% Indiër (Malabar). Uit hierdie gegewens lyk dit dat hierdie Adam glad nie van Khoikhoi afkoms was nie.

Nicolaus Cleef het dus 'n voorkind gehad met die naam Adam Sol.

Nicolaus trou op 30 Januarie 1684 met Barbara LE FEBRE sy was van Fleurbai.

Roelof JONAS was born about 1680. He married Barbe LE FÉVRE in 1709 in Kaapstad.

Barbara Le Febre's birthplace is listed as Fleurbaix, which is a little farming village holding the remains of a Carthusian Abbey. The 1999 population was 2,500. Fleurbaix is practically on the border between France and Belgium which might explain why her father, Pierre Le Febre is listed as being born in Belgium in 1630.
