Labuschagne

Labuscaigne was left behind when Verbergh reached the Cape of Good Hope, as he was too sick to continue the voyage.

Upon his release from his VOC contract, he sent for his wife and children, who joined him ten years after his departure from Holland.

He purchased a portion of land and named it Pontac, after the feudal lord of the region of his origin in France, the Duke of Pontacq.

The majority of the family left the Eastern Cape during the Great Trek, starting in 1836, and migrated to places in the Transvaal and Free State, as well as Natal.

Upon change of ownership, the stone had to be moved in 2015 to its present location at the Huguenot Memorial Museum in Franschhoek.
