Pierre Videau was reportedly a son of Pierre Videau(l) and Madelaine Burgaud. According to First Settlers in South Carolina, 1670-1700, Jeanne Elizabeth Videau's father (Pierre) arrived in South Carolina before October 5, 1698. Also, according to History of the Huguenot Emigration to America, v. 1, p. 297, fn. 4, Pierre Videau (father of Jeanne Elizabeth Videau) "was among the inhabitants of Santee who applied, about the year 1696, to be naturalized with his wife Jeanne Elizabeth (Sleigh) and their daughter Jeanne Elizabeth, born in London, and with their children Pierre Nicholas, Marianne, Marthe Est(h)er, Judith, Jeanne, and Madelaine, born in Carolina."
