Johannes Godefridus d'Ailly

Colin Graham Botha, The French Refugees at the Cape (Cape Town: Cape Times Limited, 1921), d'Ailly, Johannes Godefridus, arrived at the Cape in 1708, after a voyage of more than eight months. He came out to assume the office of minister to the Cape congregation, and died here in June, 1726. He married Alida de Lange, widow of the Surgeon Francois Guto, but appears to have had no issue by her. She died about 1733.. Hereinafter cited as The French Refugees at the Cape.
