• General Notes

  Pierre JOUBERT was born at Lamotte d'Aigues in the French province 'Provence', circa 1664. Hy vlug in 1685 na Switserland en trek vandaar al langs die Rynrivier tot by Rotterdam. He married Susanne REYNE, born 1667, La Roche, d'Autheron, Provence, France, on 1 Feb 1688 in the Waalse Kerk, Brielle, Zuid Holland. Pierre JOUBERT and Isabeau RICHARD married 28 March 1688 en route to the Cape, she died 1748. He arrived in Table Bay 4 August 1688 on board the 'Berg China' that left Rotterdam on 20 June 1688. Pierre farmed a number of farms amongst others Lamotte, 1709 ‎(named after his place of birth)‎ and Provence, 1694 ‎(named after his province of origin)‎ in Franschoek. Another farm he owned was Bellingham, 1700. He also owned a farm in the Tulbach basin, De Plaisant, 1716. Pierre died on 30 June 1732. The names Isabeau RICHARD and her husband Pierre MALAN appears on the passenger list of the Berg China, compiled 23 Dec 1687. It is therefor probable that Susanne REYNE ‎(Pierre JOUBERT's first wife)‎ died before the Berg China departed Rotterdam or en route to the Cape and that Pierre MALAN ‎(Isabeau's husband)‎died before the Berg China arrived in Table Bay.
  
  In 1690 he received financial assistance from the Batavian fund. Subsequently he became one of the big landowners in Drakenstein. His farms included Bellingkamp, Lormarins, La Motte, La Provence, La Roche and De Plaisante. In 1715 Hottentotte people stole all his cattle.
