Etienne BRUÈRE of Blois, Orléanais, was a wagon-maker by trade and after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes he fled to Delftshaven in Holland, from where he sailed on the 31 December 1687 on board the Verschooten, arriving at the Cape in 1688. A bachelor when he arrived, he first married Esther DE RUELLE and later Anna DU PUIS. In 1694 the farm Rust en Vrede in Dal Josafat was ceded to him.

Although the first marriage produced no children, six were born out of the second, but only two of these six children married. His daughter Martha married David SÉNÉCHAL (the son of David senior, also a Huguenot refugee). The son, Johannes BRUÈRE, married Maria VAN DER MERWE, a union which produced four sons and a daughter - so that all South Africans today who bear the surname BRUWER are descended from Johannes and Maria.

Although the family is numerically a small one, it played a considerable role in the development of farming in South Africa, while one of the most distinguished descendants in recent years has been Professor Johannes Petrus BRUWER, an ethnologist who was professor of Anthropology at the University of Port Elizabeth, until his death in the East London air disaster of 1697.

"It is possible that Etienne Bruere visited Amsterdam before he sailed for the Cape, but it is known that he was one of six former members of the Mer congregation to appear at Delft before the pastor Augustin Baccuet from Breuil-Barret in Poitou on June 25, 1687. There, in the words of the Walloon church minutes, they made “recogce publique de la faute qu’ils avoyent faite en soucrivant aux erreurs de Rome et (ont) este regeus a la paix de l’Eglise”. Etienne may have been born in Blois, moving later to Mer. It is interesting to note in the records of the French Protestant Hospital in London an entry of January 1775 concerning an elderly sufferer from rheumatism, Jacques Bruere of Blois, the son of Henri Bruere and Elisabeth Coson of Menars-la Ville. A Jean Bruere of Mer, son of a father of the same name, a master miller, went to Sedan at an early date, became a cloth-worker and married there in 1662. This may have provided other members of the family with an escape route, particularly as several Brueres from the Blesois settled in Berlin, where they followed trades in the textile industry.

Appearing before Baccuet with Etienne Bruere were two other refugees who were to accompany him to the Cape on the Voorschooten, the brothers Jean and Gabriel le Roux, both of whom worshipped at Mer...

In Mer too lived Jeanne Bourdon and her merchant husband, Isaac le Roux de Pommegorge. The Fouchers and the Bourdons were related. Philippe Foucher was attended at his wedding in 1677 by his uncle Etienne Bruere and his cousin, Jean Bourdon, usher at Mer. Amsterdam records also suggest a link between the Bourdons and the Basches. One of the Blois pastors, appointed in 1660, was Michel Janigon, later to serve at Utrecht. John Locke met him in 1678 and found him “a very ingenious and civil man”. Although they did not travel on the Voorschooten, the refugees Pierre Rousseau, Frangois Retif and his sister Anne Retif reached the Cape in 1688. All were members of the Mer congregation, but their parentage is uncertain. These were closely linked families and for the most part vine-dressers, although there was a surgeon Daniel Rousseau at Mer, while Jacques Rousseau, a royal usher, was a leading member of the consistory in 1668 and 1669.97 Those with vineyards included Daniel Rousseau and Marie Retif at Suevres, perhaps the parents of Pierre, who was born about the year 1666. Marie Retif died in 1682. It is worthy of note that Philippe Foucher stood godfather to Marthe, daughter of Daniel Rousseau and his wife, in July 1671. Two other vine-dressers were Jean Rousseau of Mer, married to Madeleine Retif, and Paul Retif of Aunay, whose wife was Frangoise Rousseau. Frangois Retif, born on February 2, 1663, may possibly have been the son of Jacques Retif, whose father Paul, the Aunay cultivator, died on September 8, 1677 at the age of some seventy-five years. There was also a Pierre Retif at Aunay. It seems probable that Pierre Rousseau's marriage to Anne Retif took place at Drakenstein and that he was not the refugee at Zierikzee in Zeeland who, with a young daughter, was helped by the Walloon church authorities in the winter of 1687-1688. This Pierre Rousseau was too poor to pay for shoe repairs. A Pierre Rousseau abjured with three of his children at Delft on December 7, 1687. No trace of the Marie Rousseau of Blois who came to the Cape has been found, if this indeed is the correct version of her surname, while the Cape burgher Frederik Roussouw, more properly Pieter de Wit, is not connected with the Rousseaus of the Blesois."
