Magdelaine MESTRAL (dates unknown)
Notable for his frequent recourse to litigation, he is the subject of a lengthy discussion of his citizenship in a register of "lettres de bourgeoisie" of Lausanne (AVL D 441/1 fol. 52v). See our notes for Anthoine Dutoit, Grand Voyer des Chemins du Pays de Vaud, for an account of one of his long-running disputes.
The entry in AVL D 441/1, dated 05 dec 1672, tells us that Jean Michel Ramel, citoyen, was considered for a vacancy for a seat in the council of 200 of Lausanne, from the bannière de Pont, confirmed in 1669, 1670, and 1671, "et comme en l'année Mille six cents septante deux il escheoit selon l'ordre de reconfirmer et pourvoir lesdictes Charges, seroyent survenus des Obstacles et empeschements à l'esgard dudict Sieur Ramel, par le rapport qui nous auroit esté fait par quelques personnes, les uns qui (=qu'il) n'estoit veritablement Bourgeois, disants iceluy estre venu de dehors, les autres qu'il estoit Issu d'un pere Illegitime..." After examining the documentation presented by Ramel, his citizenship is confirmed. The record includes the following genealogy:
- Honnorable Pierre Ramel bourgeois de Lausanne a acquis une maison à la Chenaux de Bourg, acte receu Eg. Chastagny le 7 d'8bre 1545, et avec ceste qualité recognoit entre les mains d'Eg. Denechel le 2 d'9bre 1548 en faveur de Leurs Excellences à cause de la prebende de Chaly une vigne, et eu pour fils:
- Pierre Ramel qui contracta Mariage soubs l'authorité dudict Pierre son pere avec Anne relicte de Guillaume Villard le 9e de decembre mille cinq cents quarante neuf, ledict contract signé Eg. Michel Panit, et eu pour fils:
- Jean Ramel qui contracta Mariage avec la qualité de Citoyen avec Magdelaine Fauson le 10 Juillet mille cinq cents nonante sept entre les mains d'Eg. Pierre Vuagniere et levé sur ces (=ses) registres par Eg. George Dantan, et eu pour fils:
- Jean François Ramel qui contracta Mariage avec Marie Romay encor à present vivant aussi avec la qualité de Citoyen de Lausanne signé Eg. Pierre Fortunat le 27 de febvrier mille six cents et trente, et eut pour fils:
- Jean Michel Ramel à present vivant qui a contracté Mariage en premieres Nopces avec Susanne Romay avec la qualité de ses peres et Grandperes signé Eg. Romay le 12e de May mille six cent soixante et deux et des lors ledict...
- Jean Michel Ramel a encore contracté mariage en secondes nopces avec Anthoinaz Courvoisier tousjours avec la qualité de Citoyen comme les predecesseurs signé par Mr. Vullyamoz Sieur Secretaire du Conseil, datté du 24e de May Mille six cents soixante huict.
That this record is so elaborate is not surprising. Jean Michel Ramel seems to have been one of those stubbornly ligitious people who had constant recourse to legal action, to the point that he became a target of all sorts of accusations, which he answered by heaping writ upon writ.
A copy of his testament is in ACV Bg 13bis/3, fol. 14v, dated 11 jun 1705, codicil 13 jul 1705, another 10 jan 1708, Jean Michel Ramel, citoyen de Lausanne et lieutenant de Chesaulx, wife Magdeleine Mestral, son Sbastian Salomon Ramel (dead at the time of the second codicil), grandson (son of Sbastian Salomon) Daniel Benedict Ramel, other grandsons Jean Samuel and Abraham Samuel Ramel, daughter Susanne Elizabeth Ramel wife of Françoys Loys Boizot, maistre graveur. Signed David Mestrezat, bourgeois d'Orbe, secrétaire ballifval and curial of Echallens. Homologué le 6e Xbre 1712.
