      Volgens C. Pama in Familia 1980 No 3/4 was die baron 'n eksentrieke man. Hy was in Duitsland gebore, maar het by die Nederlandse leër aangesluit waar hy die rang van Majoor beklee het. Hy kom in 1803in die Kaap aan op die skip "Vrou Alida Theodora". Hier is hy gedurig in rusie en stryd gewikkel met sy vrou en die regering.

      Hy reis na Plettenbergbaai om te sien of daar land is wat vir die kolonisasie van Europese boere geskik was. Terug in Nederland in 1806 publiseer hy sy bevindinge in "Reize in de Binnelanden van Zuid-Afrika, gedaan in den jare 1803". Hier word ook 'n militere pensioen aan hom betaal. Toe die Prins van Oranje in 1813 na Nederland terugkeer, sluit hy weer by die leër aan as Kolonel. Hy is in bevel van die beleg van Deventer waar 1600 Franse gevange geneem is. Hy publiseer in 1816 "Verhandeling over den handel en scheepvaart op landbouwende koloniën".

      Hy beplan om na die Kaap terug te keer, maar sterf op 10 Feb 1824 op Burtscheid naby Aken waar hy vir sy gesondheid behandel was. Sy vrou, die barones kon hom nooit terug na Europa volg nie; hy breekmet sy familie aan die Kaap en sy verkry 'n egskeiding van hom.
