Franschhoek, West Cape, South Africa noble de Villiers.

Pieter Daniel de Villiers and Johanna Jacoba de Villiers.

This lineage of Pieter de Villiers seem to be the clan of the De Villiers Family of the French Huguenots and Winemaking
Three brothers –

Pierre de Villiers (1657-1720), Jacques de Villiers (1661-1735) and Abraham de Villiers (1659-1720) – arrived in the Cape Colony aboard the Zion in 1689.

The French Huguenots farmed the wineries of these regions, this article below is a fantastic detailed history of these families.

Governor van der Stel enthusiastically greeted the fleet and settled the families in and around Stellenbosch and the Drakenstein valley, with some in an area that quickly became known as Franschhoek (French Corner), and others in nearby regions.[22] It was with the arrival of these refugees that wine making in the Cape Colony received the boost it needed.
