Jacques Mouton of Steenkerken [Steenwerck?], Belgium. was divorced from Catherine l'Hermite who was remarried in Europe to Pierre le Roy. He [Mouton] had three children with his first wife, that is Jacques, Antoine and Marie-Jeanne. They remained in Europe with their mother.
He also had three children with Marie de Villiers, of La Rochelle or Guines, France † ca 1699. She is possibly the Marie de Villiers born on 9.11.1673, and baptised on 12.11.1673 at Guines, France as the daughter of Jean de Villiers and Francoise Joing; x Belgium (Flanders) Jacques Mouton of Steenkerken ,Belgium. The children were Madeleine and Marie (who was born in Middelburg, The Netherlands) and Marguerite who was born on board ship. They arrived at the Cape on 20.7.1699 on board the Donkervliet. His wife (Marie de Villiers) died either on board ship or soon after their arrival, because he is described in [official ?] documents as a widower.
He married a third time on 8.10.1700, to Francina Bevernagie. He is the progenitor of the South African Mouton family and was among the early residents of the "Land van Waveren" (Tulbagh).

North-west of Armentieres is Steenwerck, birthplace of the settler Jacques Mouton. Married first to Catherine l’Hermite, he was divorced from her, since she later married Pierre le Roy in Europe. Mouton’s children by this marriage, Jacques, Antoine and Marie- Jeanne, remained with their mother. Mouton subsequently married Marie de Villiers. Two children were evidently born to them in Middelburg, Madeleine and Marie, while a third daughter Marguerite was born either on shipboard or soon after the family reached the Cape. They sailed in 1699 on the Zeeland East Indiaman, the Donkervliet, commanded by Steven Scheydcruyt. Mouton was married for a third time on October 8, 1700 to Francina Bevernagie, whose family will be mentioned later in this chapter. The daughter Marie Mouton at the Cape was born in the Zeeland capital about the year 1690. She became the wife of Franz Jooste of Lippstadt, but on January 31,1714 murdered her husband with the help of her lover, the slave Titus of Bengal, and an accomplice Fortuin. All three suffered a painful death for their crime. Jacques Mouton’s second wife Marie de Villiers was perhaps from north-eastern France, although a refugee so named from Nantes is known to have abjured at Arnhem in 1687. * Boucher.M (1981). French speakers at the Cape: The European Background. Pretoria, UNISA. CHAPTER NINE Cape settlers V: from Flanders to Alsace on the turbulent frontier p263
The regions of Flemish speech in what is now Belgium, with an overspill into north-eastern France, present particular difficulties. Some settlers from towns and villages here may not have spoken French at all; others were perhaps bilingual. Are we justified in following Botha by including the Bevernagie family among the French speakers, even though closely associated with that group? Joost Bevernagie, born about the year 1680, arrived in 1700 as a colonist on the Helmeet. With him at the Cape was a younger brother Theunis, born about 1691, and an older sister Francina, mentioned earlier in connection with Jacques Mouton [Mouton was married for a third time on October 8, 1700 to Francina Bevarnagie, SM/PROG is also listed at the Cape in 1706.
Settles at Steenwerck in Land van Waveren.
Came from French Flanders as a Free Burger on the "Donkervliet" in 1699. He was an agriculturist in Drakenstein on the farm "Steenwerk"
