Vital Statistics

 * Died: St Petersburg Russia 1734

Pedigree
It is almost certain that Jacob was descended from Samuel Chappuzeau (1625-1701), and was probably his grandson, because there was only one Chappuzeau family in Hannover. Possible candidates for his father are Laurent Chappuzeau (c1654-1724), Henry Chappuzeau (1660-?) and Jean Chappuzeau (1662-?)

Siblings
The Amburger Archive lists an unnamed Chappuzeau whose sister married Count Jean Armand L'Estocq.

Since Alexander (Jacob's son) is listed as nephew of L'Estocq, and was involved in the L'Estocq affair, it is implied that the unnamed Chappuzeau and his sister were both siblings of Jacob.

Spouse(s)

 * (1) Name Unknown


 * (2) Anna Kellerman (1700-1757) Born Moscow

Anna also married Nicolas Rental at some time. Since Jacob's wife is described in one place as Anna Rental, Nicolas might have been her FIRST husband. The records are not clear on this.
