[edit] Spouse(s)

[edit] Offspring

Samuel probably had 12 children

[edit] 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 (c1654-1725) Source: Clockmaker records in Switzerland and Germany, and UK marriage records (Boyd's index). Laurent was watchmaker to the Elector of Hanover (Later George I of England). I suspect that Louis and Laurent were the same person, since it seems clear that Samuel and Maria had just 4 sons. Or maybe Louis died in infancy.

The families Chappuzeau de Beaugé and their descendants Chappuzeau de Viefvillers, were descended from Samuel's brother Daniel.

[edit] 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.

These are all 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. If so, then he must have been the child of one of Samuel's other sons.

There seems to be no-one in France still carrying the Chappuzeau name, at least in that spelling.
