Document of Pierre Chuard, notary at Payerne, dated 23 apr 1522, has Jean son of the late Henry Jan of Corcelles selling land to Pierre Gachet son of the late François Gachet clerk and bourgeois of Payerne. François is also identified as the father of Pierre Gachet in Pierre's marriage contract and in the subsequent acknowledgement of the receipt of the dowry. A document of Pierre Moron (père), notary at Payerne, dated 12 feb (?) 1483 indicates François Gaschet acknowledges receipt of funds promised in his marriage contract, received from Bartholomé Challon, brother of his wife Jaqueta and son of the late Nicod Challon of Lutry. However, by 07 may 1487 (Claudius Banquetaz, notary at Payerne, ACV Dp 5, fol. 10), there is mention of property at Missy now held by the heirs of the late Franciscus Gachet.
[14566] Date of donation of a sum of money to support the marriage, from Rodulph Prouz and his wife Marguerite Gachet, aunt of François Gachet.

Appears as adult son of Pierre in 1543. A few references to his marriage and at least two daughters have been found, but there is still considerable uncertainty about his life. The "tuteurs testamentaires" of his daughter Magdelaine are listed, only a few days after his death, as Gabriel de Prez, Sr. de Corsier, and Nicod Morattel (document in the Archives Communales de Payerne, EB 1, dated 05 nov 1575, recorded by Benoit Nible, and also found in the registers of that notary on microfilm). From the circumstances of his death, we suppose his testament was recorded at Lutry.
He died at the house of Noble Aymé de Prez, Sr. de Corcelles-le-Jorat. N. Aymé de Prez has the distinction of being the father of the wife of Isbrand Daux, who used his office of bourgmaîstre de Lausanne in a plot to deliver the city into the hands of the Duke of Savoie in December, 1588. The plot, known in French as "la conjuration d'Isbrand Daux," was discovered at the last minute, but Daux and a number of other conspirators, including N. François de Prez, son of Aymé, were able to escape into Savoie. It has always been supposed that there were other conspirators or supporters of the plot whose names have never come to light. (See the article of Maxime Reymond, "La conjuration d'Isbrand Daux", published in several installments in Revue historique vaudoise, volumes 24-25, 1916-1917.) Gabriel de Prez must have been another son of Aymé de Prez, and after his descendants sold their claim to Corsier-sur-Lutry and other fiefs, and the fief of Corcelles-le-Jorat was confiscated from François de Prez for his part in the conspiracy, the de Prez family seems to have retired to Savoie permanently. The house of the de Prez family, dating from 1421, if not earlier, still stands, in the north section of the old "bourg" of Lutry.
We are left with an interesting question, was N. François Gachet another brother-in-law of Isbrand Daux? Was the second wife of François Gachet also a de Prez? (A general reference, which does not answer this question: Frédéric-Théodore Dubois, "Les descendants des sires de Prez", Annales Fribourgeoises, 4:69-70, 1916.)
There is today a domain and vineyard at Mur, Fribourg, known as the Château de Mur, that was owned in the early 1600's by Samuel von Erlach and the Gachet family. It is most likely that this fact is connected with the marriage of Samuel von Erlach to Magdelaine Gachet, whose parentage was until recently unknown. However, we think that a document recorded by Jean Amey Bondu (ACV DP 11/3, 02 dec 1574) comes very close to proof. The document involved Bernard Jacquier, residing at Mur "en la mayson de Noble Françoys Gachet", renting two cows from him for the term of three years. Unless another of the Gachet family also owned property there, Magdelaine should be his daughter. This has in fact been proved in at least one terrier (see our entry for Magdelaine Gachet and her husband Samuel d'Erlach).
François seems to have spent many years acquiring property. He had at least two houses in the vicinity of Lutry, as well as many other parcels of land. Records of his transactions are scattered through the registers of the notaries. Probably much more could be learned from these transactions and from the "terriers". One document, recorded 09 mar 1582 at Cully (Claude de Place, notary, ACV DI 48/12), concerns a sale by Egrège Nycod Moratel, notary and bourgeois of Payerne, acting as "contuteur" (co-guardian) of Noble Magdeleyne, daughter of the late Noble François Gaschet, of a vineyard, to Jaques Beboz. This piece of property had been sold originally by Anthoine son of Pierre Lyn of Epesses to Discret Jean Chevrod of Payerne on 09 apr 1501, recorded by Discret Jehan de Turiaco (Jean de Thuery). In this case, we can see how the property found its way into the hands of Magdelaine: her father's first wife was Collette du Moulin, whose mother Isabel Chevrod was the daughter of Jean Chevrod. Although François Gachet had a daughter by his first wife, the daughter had long since died and any estate had reverted to François and then to his sole surviving heir, Magdelaine. This document, like all of those discovered so far, does not mention the name of Magdelaine's mother. However, if her mother brought any dowry into her marriage with François Gachet, her name will inevitably turn up in connection with the settlement of his estate.
A slightly different view is provided by a document quoted at length on the web site of Torny-le-Grand (Fribourg) (http://torny.ch):
14 juin 1562: " Reconnaissance de noble Benoîte feu noble Benoît du Molin (seigneur de Macconnens) femme d'egrige et discrèt Benoît Nibloz, secrétaire de Payerne pour 1/3 de Marguerite sa soeur femme de feu noble Charles Meyer, pour 1/3 de Françoise et Samuel libérés de noble François [Gachet] et de feue Collette sa femme, soeur des dites Benoîte et Marguerite, pour 1/3 en faveur des barons de Montagny le mont... Reconnaissons tenir en fief hommage lige des biens et reconnaissance de feu noble Anney de Mouldon, donzel et par lui à feu Messire Humbert bastard de Savoye, chevalier alors du dit Montagny es mains de feu Jean Chalvin, son commissaire reconnu d'acquis par le feu Jean Chevroz fait de feu noble François de Billens, Seigneur de Macconnens, fait pour le prix de 350 florins, le 24 février 1514, laquelle lettre d'engageure depuis a été remise à noble Benoît du Molin, comme Héritier de feu noble François de Billens par Georges Buchin de Crissier conjointe personne d'Antoine sa femme, et par noble Claude Fyvoz comme représentant de Françoise Relaissée de feu Aimé Chuard et à iceux non cohéritiers de feu Pierre Chevroz fils de feu Johan Chevroz, acquisiteur susdit par les mains de noble Benoît le 20 juin 1554 aussi d'une recharge de la somme de 80 florins sur la dite engageure, à savoir toute la dîme de Tornier-Pitet, Tornier-le-Grand et Middes que fut du dit feu noble François de Billens, lequel (quart) ne soloit partir avec les autres qui furent noble d'Aygremont et Item et la sexte part d'un autre quart des dits discours avec Hans Ruyf bourgeois conseiller fribourgeois tenant les 5 autres parts de la dite autre quarte partie sur laquelle autre et dernière quarte partie la Fille-Dieu de Romont percevait les gains..."
The reference given is "Quenet 8b p. 253", which must surely mean "quernet", but in what archives? Also, the document as quoted needs some editing: "Françoise et Samuel libérés de noble François" must refer to children of François Gachet and his wife Collette du Moulin, thus revealing an otherwise unknown son of François, who must have died soon after. Further, there are other people mentioned who figure in the story of the great families of Payerne: George Buchin de Crissier was the husband of Antonia Chevrod daughter of Jean—thus, we are dealing with another component of the extensive Chevrod inheritance. There are several other words that seem to have been rendered incorrectly: "iceux non cohéritiers" must be "iceux comme cohéritiers", and "Anney de Mouldon" is probably "Amey de Mouldon". It would be very helpful to examine the original document. which might be a terrier or quernet in the archives of Torny-le-Grand.
The first marriage, to Collette du Moulin, can be dated to 1557. Collette was still unmarried on 14 mar 1557 (Dp 73/1, fol. 337v), but by 19 sep 1557 (fol. 360), she is cited as the wife of François Gachet.
[2515] According to the family book of Niklaus Gatschet, his brother: "starb myn bruoder Franziskus Gachet in edibus dom. (?) Aymonis (?) de Prez Lustriaci."

He acknowledged owing a "cense" of 3 deniers to the Abbey of Payerne 20 may 1490, for a small property at Agnens (Claudius Banquetaz, notary, ACV Dp 5, fol. 200). He is identified in this document as Humbertus filius Bartholomei Gachet de Villard, from which it seems logical to infer that he had reached the age of majority and that his father was still living. This is the only mention of him that has come to light. It seems most likely that he died without leaving a widow or children.

Appears in 1622 as sponsor at a baptism in Payerne, so presumably about 16 years old at that time. He is identified as a son of Josué in a series of documents recorded by Samuel Marcuard, notary at Payerne (ACV DP 63/1) beginning in February of 1637. His widow Judith Planche had remarried to Philibert Ruérat by 1640.

From the information in the Dictionnaire Historique de la Suisse (online edition), it would appear that Isabel's mother must have been Denise Regnauld, not Marguerite Vallier. Therefore, it is possible that one or more of the other sisters are also children of Denise, and not of Vallier. The dates of first marriage, if they can be found, may be the best evidence in this regard. It is possible the date has been seriously misquoted, or that Isabel was very young at the time of her marriage.

Identified as "Nobla Jacobe Gachet" in a document of Jean Amey Bondu, 1578. It is not known if she survived her husband, but probably not, as she would likely have been listed as their "mère tutrice" in documents relating to her husband's heirs. Her testament was recorded by the same notary 31 may 1584, at which time she had three living children, Jean, Pierre, and Marguerite. It is possible she was named after the Jacob Gachet who owned land near Payerne about 1550.
[2349] Unfortunately, we have no evidence yet as to which wife of Jean Amey Gachet was the mother of Jacobe.

In 1562, Jaquette Gachet widow of Claude Berthod, barber of Payerne, sold the barber's tools of her late husband and of her late son Louis, to her son-in-law Jaques Bergeret alias Berset, barber and bourgeois of Payerne (Abraham Chuard, notary). The same notary recorded her testament of 22 aug 1563, which names her children Catherine, Marguerite, Barbli (Barbille), Sabey (Isabel), and Louis (deceased), plus the two children of Louis, Louise and Anna. This testament is the source for the names of her children. However, we also found a marriage for her daughter Loysa in 1564, so perhaps the testament needs to be reexamined.

The story of Jean Gachet has been conflated with that of his elder brother Jean Amey in almost every account that has been published to date. The version most often seen claims that Jean Amey Gachet was the Seigneur de Bellevaux, and that his wife was Denise Regnauld. Denise was the daughter of Guillaume Regnauld, who inherited the fief of Bellevaux, near Neuchâtel, from his aunt Marguerite de Bellevaux, the last of her family. Denise brought the fief of Bellevaux into the Gachet family as part of her dowry (however, the marriage contract has not been located), or else she inherited it after the death of Jacob, the only legitimate son of Guillaume Regnauld—both versions of this part of the story have been published.
In fact, it was not Jean Amey, but his younger brother Jean Gachet who married Denise Regnauld, a fact that is easily demonstrated through the documents we have assembled, and with the help of the actual death dates of Jean Amey and Jean, recorded by their brother Niklaus Gatschet in his "Husbuchli" (now at the Burgerbibliothek of Bern).
Jean Gachet married a second time to Catherine Maillard or Maillardoz, by whom he had a daughter Jacobé, who settled the terms of her inheritance with her brother Josué 30 dec 1612 (Denis Pivard, notary at Moudon; the date is probably significant, for it was at about that time that Josué was exiled because of irregularities in the performance of his duties as Avoyer de Payerne). It is also possible, though not considered likely, that Catherine Maillard and her daughter belong to a later generation that has somehow escaped notice. But if that were true, we would need also a second Josué, and there seems to be no evidence for this. The matter seems to be proven conclusively by a settlement dated 20 mar 1594 (Jaques Richard, notary at Moudon, DL 79/2 fol. 244) between Noble Françoise de Blonay, widow of Noble Cathellin Loys, and Noble Catherine Maillard, widow of the late Noble Jean Gachet bourgeois and conseiller de Payerne, Seigneur de Bellevaux, as tutrice of her daughter Jaquevé Gachet, regarding a mill at Donneloye.
Jean Ballif, notary at Payerne (mainly Combremont-le-Grand) (FHL microfilm #0996235), 30 aug 1583.

The three parcels and the documents cited with them are:
1. Demie pose, at Chenaux, "dessous Chenaulz": Claude Croserens sold for 56 ecus to Guillaume Renaud (Pierre Croserens, 14 sep 1519). After his death, and that of Denise, rights sold by Nycod Rambert on behalf of his wife Marguerite Grand to Jaques Bonard in the name of Jean Gachet for the same 56 ecus (Claude de Place, 21 apr 1577).
2. Quatre fosseries, vignoble de Lalex, "dessous los Chanoz": Claude Burdet of Lausanne sold for 26 ecus to Guillaume Renaud (Rod Chalon, Thursday after St. Bartholomy—thus late August—1516, with rachept from Simon Pierre Chalon of same date). After death of Renaud, Jerome François of Lausanne rendered a judgement to Jean Gachet for the same 26 ecus (François Dudey, 16 sep 1581). Lods granted by Louis d'Erlach, Baillif of Oron (George Ansel, 27 feb 1581).
3. Two parcels at Grandvaux "en Platrins des Verchieres", the first containing 5 fosseries, the other 3 fosseries: Jaques Bonard sold for 50 ecus to Guillaume Renaud (Claude des Granges, 02 jan 1555). After death of Renaud, Jaques Bonard granted rights to Jean Gachet and to Michée, daughter of Renaud (Estienne Richard, 03 oct 1567).
If this is correct, Guillaume was still alive in 1555, and Michée in 1567. It is not stated whether Michée or her heirs still had a claim on the third item in 1583.
These three parcels must have been in the estate of Denise Regnauld, for they are all treated the same way. Jean Gachet (not Jean Amey, because the latter died in 1573) has a 1/2 interest, the coheirs of Denise Regnauld have the other 1/2 interest. The interest of the coheirs of Denise Regnauld is split in equal portions among:
Further evidence that the Sr. de Bellevaux is not Jean Amey Gachet is provided in the records of Pierre Jan, notary at Payerne, where we find Noble Jean Gachet described as Sr. de Bellevaux on several occasions, such as 18 nov 1580 and 09 feb 1588, long after the death of Jean Amey Gachet (1573).
Jean Gachet could be the "Johannes Gatzerus ex Peterlingen diocesis Losanensis" who appears in the Matrikel of the University of Freibourg im Breisgau, 22 jan 1523, but we think the entry more likely applies to his elder brother Jean Amey. A number of other names from Vaud, Bern, and Fribourg (Switzerland) are recognizable in this Matrikel (1460-1656), provided one uses considerable imagination for the names that come from French-speaking areas. Certainly there is no other surname similar to Gatzerus in Payerne, and the period is about right for Jean to be attending a university. One could explain the spelling as an attempt to latinize a word heard as Gatché, with the assumption that it was one of those French names ending in -er, rather than one ending in -et, for the purposes of constructing an appropriate Latin nominative ending. As for the substitution of -tz- for -ch-, we may see here evidence of the local patois. French vache becomes vatsche or vatze in the patois of this region. Accoucher becomes akeutzi or acutchi. A large number of words that have -ch- in standard French are rendered as -tz-, -ts-, or -tsch- in the patois. These substitutions reflect prononciation, not a local standard for orthography. The treatment of -ch- in the patois is likely the reason that Gachet became Gatschet when it was transplanted to Bern, rather than the equivalent German spelling that would be expected if Gachet were pronounced in standard French, Gaschet. If the entry at Freiburg-im-Breiskau was for Jean Amey, perhaps Jean attended instead the University of Basel, where there is an entry in the Matrikel in 1536/37 for Joannes Gatzetus from Bern (meaning, perhaps, from the territories controlled by Bern, and not necessarily from the city of Bern).

Unfortunately, the church records for Payerne seem to be missing a number of baptisms and marriages in the early 17th Century. We have found no mention of the parentage of this Jean Gachet. He seems to have died before 1640, and that might be sufficient to explain the apparent early marriage of his son David, who may have married Anne Comte before marrying Jeanne Dessibord. But there is still considerable uncertainty about this generation.
The only Jean Gachet of the right generation in the church records is the son of Josué Gachet and Elizabeth de Faucigny baptised 21 apr 1587. We might be able to prove this parentage if we could find a record of his marriage to Anne de Trey. Her father had died and her mother had remarried to Pierre Fivaz by the time she was married. Perhaps the marriage was recorded in some other parish, but we would have expected to find the marriage contract mentioned somewhere in the enormous collection of registers from the notaries of Payerne.
This Jean Gachet, or his wife Anne Detrey, made a "reconnaissance" for the terrier ACV Ff 166, fol. 187, not yet examined.
[6198] Isolated reference to the unnamed heirs of the late Jean Gachet appear in the records of various notaries about this time, but so far no significant facts have turned up. Definitely deceased by the time his son David married.

Petitpierre's Patrie Neuchateloise (1935) identifies this person as Jean Amey Gachet. However, the only Jean Amey Gachet we have found in notarial and other records at Payerne is the husband of Marguerie Vallier, not the grandson. We found no support for the existence of such a son of Jean Gachet and Denise Regnauld in the notarial records of Payerne. In particular, he is not mentioned in connection with certain vineyards from Denise's estate, still held jointly by her husband and her coheirs, 30 aug 1583 (Jean Ballif, notary at Payerne). Is it possible that Petitpierre found a document listing the coheirs by their first names, and assumed they were all siblings?

Documents of Benoit Nible, notary at Payerne, clearly list Jean Amey as the "plus ainé frère" (most eldest brother) of François Gachet and his other brothers, and sister Catherine, all children of the late Pierre Gachet, secretaire de la ville de Payerne. The Dictionnaire Historique et Geographique gives official titles: Banderet 1544-1545, and Advoyer 1563-1573 (appointed to this last post 11 aug 1563, according to the family book of his brother Niklaus Gatschet). Information in theDictionnaire that the Bernese Gatschet family descends from Nicolas b. 1510, brother of Jean Amey, seemed doubtful because of the birthdate. The same source gives the death of Nicolas in Bern in 1606, so it is likely his age is given in the same record and that is the source of the birth date. However, Nicolas left a Familienbuch (or "Hussbüchli"), now at the Burgerbibliothek in Bern, which clearly indicates he was born in 1526 and lived until at least 1607. His dates are now consistent with the family records at Payerne, and the story of the family can now be reported with greater confidence.
The Dictionnaire notes the arms a golden sun on a blue ground, in a stained glass window at the parish church of Payerne, and the Livre d'Or puts the family's origins in Payerne in the 14th century. An early Pierre Gachet notary (placed in the Fribourg family of the same name) is cited as the Châtelain of the Tour de Trême in 1464 and 1472. The same Chatelainy was held by François Biolley in 1553, when the wife of the latter, Marguerite daughter of the late Noble Georges de Rive (with impressive titles including "gouverneur patrimonial du conté de Neufchastel") donates property to her "good neighbors and friends" François Gachet and his brothers (elsewhere identified as the children of the late Pierre Gachet). Thus, it is very likely that there are definite historical ties between the different Gachet families, even though the Fribourg branch has different arms (quartered, origin of the parts not identified). (Internet material from the archives of the canton of Fribourg notes the existence there of correspondence of Georges de Rive, Sr. de Prangins who died in 1552, and of his daughter Marguerite who married first Jean de St.-Germain and then François Biolley. Further, we learn that Georges de Rive was appointed governor of Neuchâtel in 1529 by Jeanne de Hochberg, comtesse de Neuchâtel, after a Bernese occupation 1512-1529, and that he was still in that capacity in 1530 when the reformed religion displaced Roman Catholicism there. It is possible the correspondence of Marguerite, covering the period 1557-1566, contains some explanation for the donation of property to the Gachet brothers of Payerne in 1553. One possibility is that it was in effect an exchange of property as a convenience in the consolidation of property she acquired in the settlement of her father's estate. Documents recorded by Benoit Nible at Payerne identify additional daughters Françoise and Jeanne de Rive, and note many parcels of land near Payerne. A more interesting possibility was suggested by the discovery that Jean de Rive, contemporary of Georges and probably a cousin, married as his second wife Antonia Falck, half-sister of Jaquaz Dutruict who was the mother of the Gachet brothers.)
In addition to the cited titles, we find Jean Amey as conseiller in 1551 and Secrétaire de la Ville de Payerne in 1556. His signature appears in a document of partition for the heirs of the late Georges de Rive in 1553, recorded by Benoit Nible. Much earlier titles include Secrétaire, 1539, at which date he should have been at least 25 years old. In records of Pierre Chuard, notary at Payerne, we find Johanni Admedeo Gachet identified as "secretarii et burgensii ville paternaiaci" as early as 1530, which suggests quite strongly that he is even a little older. He was the eldest of the seven sons, and thus likely born about 1504. The duties of secretary of the city council were not trivial, and we suppose that he probably attended a university. He may be the "Johannes Gatzerus" from Payerne who is noted on the Matrikel of the university at Freiburg-im-Breiskau in 1523, though that conclusion is uncertain.
A Jean Gachet, conseiller de Payerne, appears in various documents from 1572 to at least 1587. These cannot all refer to the same person as Jean Amey Gachet, since the latter was definitely dead by 1573, mentioned in various records of Jean Marcuard, notary at Payerne, and 1574, when this notary identifies the tuteurs of the the daughters of Jean Amey Gachet, assisted by Noble Sage et Vertueux Pierre Valliez Chatellain du Landeron, maternal uncle of these daughters. The problem of this Jean Gachet is important, as it raises the possibility of a skipped generation. A document of Jean Ballif, notary at Payerne, dated 30 aug 1583, concerns the inheritance of several vineyards. The situation seems to be that Noble Jean Gachet (still alive) was married to the late Denise Regnaut (whose sister was Michée), and whose son was Josué Gachet. The property was divided first in half, one half claimed by Jean Gachet, the other by coheirs of Denise, and of that second half, it is not clear exactly who has claim to it. Apparently Marguerite Morizet (wife of Jean Jacquier of Moudon), Jean Morizet, and Claude Gachet of Payerne have a claim (1/4th each?), and Jean Gachet has authority over the 1/4 owned by his son Josué, who should therefore be under age 25 at this date (Denise Regnault known to be alive as late as 1556). We believe the identification of Jean Amey with brothers François, Pettermand, and Daniel, and sisters Catherine and Jaquetta (cited in records of Benoit de Miéville, notary at Payerne, 1564), proves that the Jean Amey noted among the officers of Payerne is the son of Pierre, and not the son of a hypothetical Jean. However, the partage among the children of Pierre Gachet and Jaquaz du Truict, dated 28 may 1563 (Abraham Chuard, notary at Payerne, ACV DP 14/1), clearly identifies a Jean Gachet as the second son, after Jean Amey.
Our Jean Amey either bought or inherited vineyards near Cully, and there are several references to him in notarial records there at least as early as 1538.
The family book of Niklaus Gatschet, living at Bern, records the following, after noting that his brothers Anthony and Daniel had been married in Payerne on 15 dec 1560: "haben wir syben brüdern deo anpiliante unser zeitlich gut schier in dreien tagen mit einandern in der fründlichkeit getheilt" (entry dated 30 dec 1560, or possibly 20 dec 1560; the date 20 dec 1560 is also found in the notarial records).
In addition to the children documented here, the database of Norma Jean Elmer includes a daughter Françoise who married François Conte.

The name Daniel is given only in 1725, when he appears as sponsor at a baptism in Payerne. His first mention in the church records at Payerne is in the same capacity, in 1717 (from which we estimate that he was probably born before 1702). So far, the only mention of his parentage is a document that calls him the son of "le Capitaine Gachet", which we take as a reference to Samuel Gachet.
Daniel Jaccaud, notary at Payerne (ACV DP 51/2), 31 jan 1722:
Abandonnation volontaire en faveur de Messieurs du Conseil de Vevey, Contre Mr. Jean Batiste Gachet.
Monsieur le Lieutenant et Conseiller De la fontaine de Vevey, agissant au nom de Messieurs du Conseil de Vevey, estant venu à Payerne pour procurer la Vendition par publication au plus offrant de la maison et jardin de Mr. Jean Batiste Gachet, en vertu des droits qu'il a en mains, ledit Mr. Gachet pour eviter ulterieurs frais a volontairement abandonné au prenommé Mr. de la fontaine au nom que dessus sadite maison d'habitation avec son jardin dernier, tout ainsi qu'il l'a eu de Mr. Le Capitaine Gachet son pere, pour tout ce qu'il peut devoir en principal, interets que depends de voyage, sous le benefice de les pouvoir recourir dans le terme porté par les loix, et au cas que Messieurs du Conseil de Vevey y veulent bailler les mains, ledit Monsieur Gachet consent que pour plus grande corroboration, l'homologation de presente abandonnation se fasse judicialement audit Payerne, sur le premier jour de droict requis, moyennant qu'en evitation de frais plus outre Messieurs du Conseil de Vevey chargent un particulier de ce lieu de la demander, à laquelle ledit Mr. Gachet a promis de ne se point opposer, et au cas que Messieurs de Vevey ne puissent bailler les mains, à la present abandonnation volontaire, ils resteront au benefice de leurs droits, suivant l'engagement dudit Sr. Gachet du 26 7bre dernier.

Exactly what circumstances occasioned this transaction has not been discovered, but it may be surmised that the Capitaine Gachet, or perhaps his wife or one of their ancestors, had borrowed money from the city of Vevey, for which this house was security, and had defaulted on the loan. Further particulars might be sought in the registers of the cour de justice of Payerne.
His missing marriage might be at Avenches, since his wife, as late as 16 may 1737 (Samuel Comte, notary at Payerne, ACV DP 21/26), was under the guardianship of the Chambre des Orphelins of that city. As of that date, her tuteur was the councillor Bonjour of Avenches, and it was noted that debts were owed to the Châtelain Peclat and also Mr. le Lieutenant Peclat.
