DAUTH/DAUGHT

DESCENDANTS OF COENRAAD JOHAN DAUGHT/DAUTH 1795 TO 1880 IN SOUTH AFRICA

This German family later married into the WHEELER family – the author Richard Thomas WHEELER’s mother is Anna Susanna DAUTH.

It is extremely difficult to research this family as my mother cannot remember much (Altzheimer). 

Any contribution towards completing this research would be appreciated.

60th Regiment of Foot 1st Battalion at the Cape 1810-1819

The following link will take you to mthe document on the role of the 60th Reiment of Foot 1st Battalion at the Cape 1810-1819. The relevance is that Coenraad Johan DAUGH (DAUTH), the progenitor (Stamvader) of the DAUTH family was part of this Regiment. It seems that after receiving permission to remain in the Cape Colony and marrying Elsje Magdalena FRITZ, he also partook in the War of the Ax where James WHEELER received injuries which later cost him his life.
