Pedigree
Samuel was the son of Charles Chappuzeau (c1570-c1644), who was a lawyer and member of the "Noblesse de Robe", and Anne Poullet (c1590-1641).
Siblings
Samuel had two sisters, probably older than him, but no more details are known at present, except that one married Bernard Martin, sieur de Montjourdain, avocat au conseil
Spouse(s)
- Maria de La Serraz (c1629-1662) from Geneva married c 1651
- Marie Trichot (c1629-1714) from Geneva married September 1662
Offspring
Samuel probably had 12 children
Maria de la Serra or della Serraz (5 children)
Her first child, a son, is known to have been born before 1656, because he was left in Lyon with friends when Samuel & Maria moved to Amsterdam, but he is not named in the letters about him. He rejoined his parents in 1658.
- Laurent CHAPPUZEAU (????-1725) Source: Clockmaker records in Switzerland and Germany, and UK marriage records (Boyd's index). I suspect that Louis and Laurent were the same person, since it seems clear that Samuel and Maria had just 4 sons.
- Christoph CHAPPUZEAU (1656-1734) Amsterdam, Netherlands Source: Amsterdam Archives and LDS. Christophe was Secretary to the Duke of Celle for many years, from 1676
- Henry Albert CHAPPUZEAU (1660-?) Leiden, Netherlands Source : LDS and other records. Albert Louis Chappuzeau may be the same person, or, more likely, may have been confused by Eggers with Albrecht Ludwig Chappuzeau, Dr Med, son of Christophe
- Lucrece Marie CHAPPUZEAU (1661-?1661) Leiden, Netherlands Source : LDS and other records
Marie Trichot (7 children)
- Judith De CHAPPUZEAU (1665-?) Geneva, Switzerland
- Magdalena De CHAPPUZEAU (1666-?1670) Geneva, Switzerland
- Christine CHAPPUZEAU (1668-1715) Geneva, Switzerland
- Magdaleine Louise De CHAPPUZEAU (1670-1749) Geneva, Switzerland
- Sigismund De CHAPPUZEAU (1672-?) Geneva, Switzerland
Other relatives
It is quite likely that the families Chappuzeau de Beaugé and their descendants Chappuzeau de Viefvillers, were related to Samuel, as stated by Leris in 1763, but no confirmation has been found.
Biography
Publications
His best-known work is Le Théâtre François, still the main description of 17th century French Drama. He also published a number of plays, a novel, a dictionary and several travel and geographical books. He wrote Tavernier's travel guides from his dictation. It is known that Moliere took and reworked some of Samuel's plays to form the basis of his own work.
Career
Author, Playwright and Teacher. Tutor to Prince William III of Orange 1659 to 1661.
Spiritual Life
Calvinist, preacher.
Descendants
Many descendants are known in Germany and Chile, where the Chappuzeau name still occurs, and also in UK, France, Netherlands, Canada, US and Australia.
Most of these are descended either from Christoph (Germany and Chile) or from Eve.
It is believed that Jacob Chappuzeau, (aka Iakov Shapizo), a Captain in the Russian Fleet, was also a descendant, but this is not yet proven.
There seems to be no-one in France still carrying the Chappuzeau name, at least in that spelling.
Contributors
Pavane, a descendant in UK
In our days some of part of the family CHAPPUZEAU lives in CHILE (South America). Actually I´m Javier CHAPPUZEAU a Chilean Navy Officer. If you want to know more about us, just send me a e-mail to:javierchappuzeau@hotmail.com
