Janet's notes read, '...s.v. die winkelier Jacques Hugot en Jeanne Barbier uit die omgewing van Chalons-sur-Marné, Champagne, Frankryk; reeds in 1688 aan die Kaap, opgelei as smid, die plaas Sion (tans Nieuwe Hoop) by Simondium aan hom toegeken 1691, in 1708 koop hy Bethel, tans Nantes..'

Daniel was 'n Franse Hugenote vlugteling. Volgens Familia (1971 p105) was hy "zeer kort van persoon", "zo lang als een Juk".

Hy was teenwoordig as getuie met die doop van Anna Rossouw as 'n baba, en het ten tyde van die doopmaal haar in sy arms geneem en gesê "Deze kind zal nog mijn Vrouw worden". Hy is dan ook as 45-jarige met haar getroud, toe sy maar pas vyftien jaar oud was.
