Paul Roux was probably born in Orange, France, in 1665. It is thought that after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, Paul fled from France, across to Switserland and on to the Netherlands.

As a young man he arrived in the Cape on 4 August 1688 aboard the Berg China, which had a terrible crossing and which claimed the lives of many passengers during the voyage. Because Paul could speak both French and Dutch fluently, he was appointed as the first teacher of the new school in Drakenstein on 8 November 1688. His mothly salary was fifteen Guilders and "drie realen kostgeld". He was also the sickness comforter and served as a church elder (Afr = "diaken") from December 1700 to December 1712. After the departure of the deacon, Pierre Simond, in 1702, Paul Roux was responsible for taking care of the spiritual needs of the French speaking members of the congregation and also for conducting the sermons. The French baptism register (1694 - 1713) for the Drakenstein congregation was maintained by him.

Paul Roux was married twice. His first marriage was to Claudine Seugnet in 1690. She was one of three sisters from Saintogne in France, and they joined the Stellenbosch congregation in 1689. Paul and Claudine had seven children, of which only two sons and one daughter had any descendants (see Family Tree). His second marriage in 1721 was to Elisabeth Couvert. Elisabeth was born in Orleans in 1676, and was the widow of Josué Cellier, also from Orleans. Cellier and his wife came to the Cape in 1700 aboard the Reygersdaal. They farmed on De Orleans, in Dal Josafat, where Josué died in October 1721.

Paul Roux never owned any land and probably lived in a house which belonged to the church. In 1720 he moved to the premises of the new church (approximately where the old grass thatch church (Afr = "Ou strooidakkerk") stands today). He died two and a half years later on 7 February 1723 in Paarl. In his book, The Huguenots in South Africa, M. Nathan refers to Paul Roux as someone "universally esteemed for character and ability."

Die peil van onderwys aan die Kaap was laag en Paul Roux, met wie Elisabeth na Josué se dood sou trou, word as onderwyser van die Franse gemeenskap in die Paarl aangestel. Huismeesters is ook deur sommige gesinne in diens geneem en hul vergoeding het meestal bestaan uit 8 tot 14 gulden per maand, 1 tot 2 pond tabak, voedsel, drank, goeie huisvesting en soms klere aan die einde van die jaar. Jacob Naudé wat in 1718 as matroos in die Kaap aangekom het, was eers huismeester by Pierre Joubert teen 10 gulden en n halwe pond tabak per maand en vanaf 1719 tot 1720 huismeester by Josué Cellier teen 10 gulden en een pond tabak per maand.

Elisabeth hertrou in ongeveer 1722 met die 57-jarige wewenaar Paul Roux. Hul presiese huweliksdatum is onbekend aangesien die Paarl se huweliksregisters vir hierdie tydperk verlore is. Paul en Elisabeth kon nie baie lank getroud gewees het nie aangesien hy op 7 Februarie 1723 oorlede is, sestien maande na haar eerste man. Na Paul se dood het Elisabeth nie weer hertrou nie.

Paul Roux was n bekwame man wat kort na sy aankoms in die Kaap in 1688 aangestel is as onderwyser, voorleser en sieketrooster vir die Franse gemeenskap in die Paarl, poste wat hy tot sy dood toe beklee het. Saam met Pierre Simond was hy gereken as een van die grootste stryders vir die gebruik en behoud van die Franse taal aan die Kaap. Teen die tyd dat hy en Elisabeth getroud is, was die kinders uit sy eerste huwelik almal reeds mondig. Hy het 'n kleinerige plasie Oranje, 2 morg 250 vk roede, in die Paarl besit wat na sy dood na sy seun Jeremie Roux gegaan het.

Paul Roux arrived in the Cape on board the VOC China in 1688.
The China was a VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, Dutch East India Company, ) ship of some 1124 tons, build in 1676 at the Amsterdam yard for the Amsterdam chamber.The Ship was 160 foot long and 39 foot wide.

It is important to note that many sources give the name of the ship as Berg China, but the official Dutch records only give it as China. The confusion might stem from the fact that the China was captained by a Pieter van den Berg on some of her voyages. Some other researches have noted this discrepancy as well.

Between 1677 and 1691 the ship made four voyages past the Cape of Good Hope from the Netherlands to the Far East and back. It visited the Cape 8 times in total.

Destined for the Cape, Paul Roux was one of 38 passengers, along with 156 seamen and 111 soldiers, aboard the 4th voyage. On 1688/03/20 the ship set sail from Goeree in the Netherlands, bound for Jakarta (then known as Batavia) in Indonesia. They arrived in Table Bay on 1688/08/04 where 29 of the passengers as well as 14 seamen and soldiers left the ship. 20 of the seamen and passengers died on the way to the Cape.

He married (i), before 1694, Claudine Seugnet of Saintonge (2) Elizabeth Couvret, widow of the Refugee Josue Cellier. He did not require assistance in 1690. On 7th June, 1696, he passed a power of attorney in favour of Rev.Salomon Bernard, minister of the French congregation, and Nathaniel Goutier, merchant; of Amsterdam.

—The French refugees at the Cape, Botha, C. Graham, page:84 at The Internet Archive
On 8 November 1688 was appointed schoolmaster and church clerk under Rev. Pierre Simond at the Drakenstein church. He filled these posts until his death 35 years later.

Paul was self sufficient and did not rely on financial assistance that was provided to some of the Huguenots. For some reason he also send money back to Holland in 1699,npossibly for payments to a Jan Cotzee (Coetzee) or Cotzee's wife Hillegond Boonen.

He married Claudine Seugnet, one of three sisters from Saintonge, sometime before 1694.[6]

Paul wrote a catechism book, Belydenis des geloofs, that he used when teaching his pupils. The location of original is unknown, but in 1743 this book was copied by Von Wieding. The copy can be found in the Cape State Archives, G 3/5a.

Between 29 August 1694 and 27 November 1701, Paul kept a register of all baptisms in the Drakenstein church. The origional in French was entitled Liure de Register des Enfans qu'on a Baptize dans notre Eglise francoise dedrakestein.

On the 16th of September 1718, Paul laid one of the cornerstones of a new church to be build in Drakenstein (upper Paarl today).

Paul Roux died on the 7th February 1723.

Paul Roux was probably born in Orange, France, in 1665. It is thought that after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, Paul fled from France, across to Switserland and on to the Netherlands.

As a young man he arrived in the Cape on 4 August 1688 aboard the Berg China, which had a terrible crossing and which claimed the lives of many passengers during the voyage. Because Paul could speak both French and Dutch fluently, he was appointed as the first teacher of the new school in Drakenstein on 8 November 1688. His mothly salary was fifteen Guilders and "drie realen kostgeld". He was also the sickness comforter and served as a church elder (Afr = "diaken") from December 1700 to December 1712. After the departure of the deacon, Pierre Simond, in 1702, Paul Roux was responsible for taking care of the spiritual needs of the French speaking members of the congregation and also for conducting the sermons. The French baptism register (1694 - 1713) for the Drakenstein congregation was maintained by him.

Paul Roux was married twice. His first marriage was to Claudine Seugnet in 1690. She was one of three sisters from Saintogne in France, and they joined the Stellenbosch congregation in 1689. Paul and Claudine had seven children, of which only two sons and one daughter had any descendants (see Family Tree). His second marriage in 1721 was to Elisabeth Couvert. Elisabeth was born in Orleans in 1676, and was the widow of Josué Cellier, also from Orleans. Cellier and his wife came to the Cape in 1700 aboard the Reygersdaal. They farmed on De Orleans, in Dal Josafat, where Josué died in October 1721.

Paul Roux never owned any land and probably lived in a house which belonged to the church. In 1720 he moved to the premises of the new church (approximately where the old grass thatch church (Afr = "Ou strooidakkerk") stands today). He died two and a half years later on 7 February 1723 in Paarl. In his book, The Huguenots in South Africa, M. Nathan refers to Paul Roux as someone "universally esteemed for character and ability."
