    Gerrit (= 5.9.1683) is slegs as s/v Cornelia Bogaert gedoop en was Michiel Romont waarskynlik nie sy vader nie alhoewel hy sy van geneem het. 11.7.1683 trou Michiel Romont met Cornelia Bogaert; Michiel, woonagtig op Mauritius, was in die Kaap ten tye van sy huwelik om as segsman vir die burgers op te tree. Hy gaan terug na Mauritius in 1684. Sien Dan Sleigh se `Buiteposte' p.649/650. Gerrit Romont was getroud met Jannetje van Madras wie kinders by Machiel Heylon gehad het.
