Notes: At age 19 Robertson left for the gold fields in Barberton, then went to the diamond fields in Kimberley and then the new Witwatersrand gold fields and entered into partnership with his childhood friend, Abe Bailey. He did very well and met his cousin Gypsey, who had moved to Johannesburg from their farm Thornlands. He named a mine in which he had interest "Gypsey" and bought a farm which he later sold and is now Bertrams suburb. With that he bought property in Constantia in the Cape, the house was named High Constantia and he had a very successful wine making business using the vines of Groot Constantia.

Johan was a cavalry officer in the French Army, Cologne was closely allied to France, and was recruited from there. He arrived in the Cape in about 1795. It is very likely they were stationed on what is now Farm France in the Banhoek Valley. Johannes married Rosina Petronella Kok on 29 Oct 1815 in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
