Lourens was a burger van Drakenstein. He was a corporal in the dragonders (1730-1740).
Later he became a farmer. He farmed near Ceres in the Cape where he produced vegetables, fruit, mutton, wool, grain, wine, brandy and nuts.
He farmed on his mother-in-law's (Louisa Cordier) farm "Wildebeestkuil" or "Geelblomsvlei" (today in the Suider Paarl area), as well as his own loan farms "Uitkomst" (in the present day Ceres district near Karoopoort in the Agter Bokkeveld) and "Beerenfontein" (in the Roggeveld above Kamsberg, the present day district of Sutherland south of town); both these towns were then part of the Drakenstein district.
According to SA Genealogies he also had a voorkind with Catharina Hoffman, presumably a slave.

(Research):Burger van Drakenstein, plaasboer o.a. by sy skoonma Louisa Cordier op "Wildebeestkuil" of "Geelblomsvlei" (vandag Suider Paarl) asook op sy eie leningsplase "Uitkomst" vandag distrik Ceres naby Karoopoort, Agter Bokkeveld en "Beerenfontein", Roggeveld bo-op Kamsberg, vandag distrik Sutherland suid van die dorp; beide destyds distrik Drakenstein.

Uit sy huwelik met Martha Pienaar is 14 kinders gebore was waarvan 12 manlik was, wat lei tot 'n vermenigvuldigde nageslag. Hy het volgens SAG ook 'n voorkind by Catharina Hoffman gehad, ie dogter van Johannes Hoffman (*Langenberg, Duitsland, 1698).

Daniel married Elizabeth (Isabeau) LAURET (LORET), a1b2 on 25 May 1732 in Drakenstein, Cape, South Africa(Paarl). Elizabeth (daughter of Guillaume LORET (LAURET), a1 and Elizabeth JOUBERT, a1b3) was born about 1714 in Cape Town, Cape, South Africa; was christened on 30 Sep 1713 in Paarl, Cape, South Africa; died on 22 Oct 1760 in Tulbagh, Cape, South Africa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Pieter was the progenitor (stamvader) of the Erasmus family in South Africa. He arrived in the Cape in 1693. In some Cape records he appears as "Pieter den Deen", thereby implying that his origins were in Denmark. The surname Erasmus is a latinized version of the patronymic Rasmussen, a common name in both Denmark and Norway.
He farmed on the farm "Groenkloof" in Wagenmakersvallei (Wellington), which fell in the sub-district of Drakenstein. He received this farm 28 Feb 1699, but since he was not in favour of governor Van der Stel he only obtained his title in 1714. He had this farm until his death. His farm was next to Baren Blom's. It could also be that the name of his farm was "De Groenenbergh", next to the Krommerivier in the Wagenmakersvalleij (this farm is known today as "Onverwacht" in Bovlei). This farm remained in his possession until his death in 1731.

(Research):Die van ERASMUS is 'n Griekse woord wat beteken "Lieflik" of "Welgeliefd" en was eerste aangeneem deur die wêreldberoemde Hollandse skrywer, Protestant en Hervormer, Desiderius Erasmus van Rotterdam wie gelewe het gedurende die tydperk 1466-1536.

Van stamvader Pieter Erasmus se afkoms weet ons min. Daar was al heelwat spekulasie en teorieë op die gespreksgroep bespreek. In sekere Kaapse rekords kom hy voor as Pieter den Deen, wat moontlik op Skandinawiese afkoms dui.

Volgens Mark Barker se bydrae tot die SA Stamouers webwerf verkry hy die plaas Groenkloof in Wagenmakersvallei (vandag Wellington), distrik Drakenstein op 28 Februarie 1699. Hy verkry eers transport in 1714, vermoedelik omdat hy nie ten gunste van Simon van der Stel was nie.

SAG 2 gee ook die plaas aan as Groenkloof in Drakenstein, maar volgens Mieka Erasmus was sy plaas langs Baren Blom s'n, en sy wys daarop dat sekere gedrukte materiaal die verkeerde plaas (Groenkloof) as Erasmus s'n aandui - dit was nie die plaas in Drakenstein nie, maar die plaas De Groenenbergh aan die Krommerivier in die Wagenmakersvalleij (hierdie plaas staan vandag bekend as Onverwacht, Bovlei).

Hy behou die plaas tot en met sy dood in 1731. Pieter trou in 1697 met Maria Elizabeth Jooste, wat in September 1723 oorlede is.

Toe die Inventaris geneem was nadat Maria dood was in 1723 word die volgende persone gegee as hulle kinders:

Erasmus Pieter - 25 jaar oud
Ester - 20 jaar oud
Lourens - 19 jaar oud
Catharina - 18 jaar oud
Laris - 17 jaar oud
Jacob - 16 jaar oud

Let op dat meeste bronne meld nie Ester as 'n dogter nie. Volgens die Inventaris moes die dogter Maria Hanna voor haar moeder gesterwe het.

He seems to have spent circa 1697 until about 1700 as junior surgeon on Mauritius.
He appears then to have been transferred to Batavia as Chief Surgeon, from whence he, his wife and his children returned to Mauritius some time in 1704.
J.A.Hoge states that his wife died on 6th November, 1704 and that he and his children then transferred to the Cape where they arrived in 1705, settling in Stellenbosch. Certainly, he married in Stellenbosch on the 5th October 1705.

His farm in Stellenbosch, Moddergat, 54 morgen in size, was sold from his estate 7th August 1709 to Nicolaas Gockelius and immediately sold on by him to Theunis de Bruijn. The original grant was dated 3rd December 1692 but to whom it was made is not stated. (MOOC 9/1/39)

From Nantes. Arrived 1695. Served as deacon in Drakenstein congregation and was appointed heemraad for Stellenbosch and Drakenstein in 1715. It is not clear whether Nantes refers to his place of origin or the farm in Paarl where he farmed. He bought the farm Nantes in 1709.

Du Plooy.paf: He came from Nantes in Brittany and settled on the farm "Nantes" near Paarl, arriving in 1695 . He was deacon in the Drakenstein church congregation and was appointed councillor for Stellenbosch and Drakenstein in 1715. The family name LORET died out in South Africa in the next generation.

From Nantes, France. He arrived in 1695 and worked from 1697 as assistant to the Jouberts. Later farmed on the farm Nantes in the Paarl.

Hierdie inligting kom alles uit Pieter Coertzen se Hugenote van Suid Afrika 1688-1988: Guillaume Loret 1671-1718 het in 1795 in SA aangekom bl. 119: Die plaas Nantes by die Paarl is in 1709 oor gedra aan Guillaume Lore of Loret, van Nantesaan die Loire in Frankryk. Heel waarskynlik is hierdie naam deur Loret aan die plaas gegee. In 1719 het Paul Roux die plaas gekry. bl 106: Oor Isabeau Richard, vrou van Pierre Joubert van die plaas La Provence, was daar die kwade gerug dat syonbetaamlike omgang gehad het met met Guillaume Loret, voordat hy op 23 Jan 1707 met haar dogter in die huwelik getree het. So erg was die toestand dat ds Beck ten tyde van die huweliksbevestiging nie die gebruiklike formulier gelees het nie. Hy en sy vrou Isabeau het twee seuns en 'n dogter gehad. bl 99-100: Die optrede van Guillaume Lorée, van Franse boer van Drakenstein, wat vroeër Rooms-katoliek was, maar onder leiding van Pierre Simond Protestants geword het, was onder sensuurvir sluikhandel. (Die skrywer sê hier nog heelwat meer i.v.m. Loret) Hoop dit help! Groete Alta

There were rumours that Isabeau Richard and her future son-in-law Guillaume Loret of Nantes committed adultery. The minister Henricus Beck implemented church discipline as a result in 1707.

Janet,

Elisabeth JOUBERT en Guillaume LORET is op 23.1.1707 in Drakenstein getroud.

Guillaume LORET was 'n jong Katolieke Fransman afkomstig uit Nantes. Hy was nie 'n Hugenote Vlugteling nie, maar het ongeveer twee jaar nadat hy aan die Kaap geland het tot die Gereformeerde Geloof oorgegaan. Hy het egter nie 'n voorbeeldige lewe gelei nie en is deur ds Pierre Simond en die kerkraad onder sensuur geplaas. Hy was een van die vryburgers wat onwettig vee van die Khoikhoi geruil het.

Vanaf 1697 het Loret as kneg vir Pierre Joubert op sy plaas La Provence by Olifantshoek (die huidige Franschhoek) gewerk. Gerugte het die rondte gedoen dat Loret en Isabeau Richarde, Pierre Jouberts se vrou, 'n verhouding gehad het. Loret is deur ds Simond en later deur ds Henricus Beck aangeraai om ander werk te soek, maar alhoewel beide Abraham de Villiers en Pierre Rousseau hom werk aangebied het, het hy na die Jouberts en La Provence teruggekeer met die verskoning dat hy geen ander werk kon kry nie en dat hy begerig was om met Elisabeth te trou, hy het net gewag dat sy 'n hubare ouderdom bereik (toe hy is 1697 by die Jouberts begin werk het was Elisabeth slegs vyf jaar oud). Toe hulle op 23.1.1707 getroud is was sy vyftien. Pierre Joubert en Guillaume Loret was ontevrede met die voltrekking van die huwelik omdat die huweliksformulier nie behoorlik gelees is nie. Hulle het 'n petisie teen ds Beck opgestel. Die petisie is deur die kerkraad afgewys omdat Pierre Joubert volgens hulle "spiteful" was.

b4 Pierre se vrou Susanna DE VILLIERS is oorlede met die geboorte van haar vierde kind, Rachel. Pierre self is ongeveer vyf maande na Susanna oorlede en klein Rachel in September 1731.
