- Herman had married
Johanna Magdelena Labuschagne, the daughter of Carl
Stephanus Vermaak, another sheep farmer from the
Dullstroom / Middleburg Region of the Transvaal who
was also involved in the Boer war with Len Labuschagne.
Interestingly enough, Johanna?s family tree actually extends
into the family of Napoleon Bonaparte in France, in particular
to his second wife, Princess Louise through a Cornelia
Minaar who at one time was being sought by French
officialdom with regards to an inheritance from the
Princess. In this marriage then, there was a curious union
between the offspring of Kings and Emperors, evidence of which could only
vaguely be detected in the surnames of people and a horse named
'Bonaparte'.
