Marriage record at Prilly calls him Noble Imbert de Crausa, fils de Monsieur de Corsi, Chatelain de Lustry. The baptisms of at least two of his children have not been found: He evidently had an additional son Jean Louis de Crousaz "de Prélaz", conseiller de Moudon (1730, cited in the church records there), unless one of the other baptisms in this family is actually his, listing him under some other name. We are also missing the baptism of his daughter Jeanne Ursule. It is only Humbert and his descendants who are identified as "de Crousaz de Prélaz". The registers of the commission on bourgeoisie (ACV RB 020/008) show his death date as 16 feb 1711, but this is obviouly incorrect, since his testament is dated 25 mar 1711. The source of this confusion is quickly found in the church records of Lausanne: the person who died on 16 feb 1711 was Humbert Benjamin, son of Jean François Crousaz, son of the present Humbert. The same records show that Humbert died 27 mar 1725, age 73.
The testament of Monsieur Humbert Crousaz is recorded at Lausanne (ACV Bg 13bis/4 fol. 97-98, dated 25 mar 1711 at Hermenches, and probated at Lausanne 10 apr 1725):
Testament de Monsieur Humbert Crousaz Citoyen de Lausanne.
Le vingt cinquiesme mars mille sept cent et onze, le notaire juré soussigné ayant esté appellé de la part de Noble et Vertueux Humbert Crousaz bourgeois de Lausanne d'aller à Hermenches, il a declaré en presence des tesmoins cy appres nommés qu'il vouloit faire son testament, faisant reflexion sur l'incertitude de la vie, si bien qu'estant dans une entiere liberté d'esprit, & sans aucune induction que soit apparue, appres avoir tesmoigné sa resignation à la Providence Divine; et desirant prevenir autant qu'il est en son pouvoir les difficultés qui pourroyent s'elever entre ses enfants au sujet de la succession de ses biens: il a premierement ordonné que tous ses biens fonds doivent rester à ses quattre enfants males, qui sont Jean Louys, Jean François, Isaac et Pierre Crousaz, qu'il nomme et institue ses heritiers, avec prerogative de la troisiesme partie de tous ses biens, et le droict de partager par egale portion les deux autres parties avec Jeane Ursulle, Louyse Françoise, Jeane Judith, Susanne Gabrielle, et Françoise Elizabeth Crousaz ses filles, qu'il nomme et institue ses heritieres avec ses fils cy devant nommés dans les deux tiers de ses biens, aux conditions suyvantes ; premierement, considerant que la devant nommée Jeane Ursulle femme de Mr. le Banderet Bourgeois de Lausanne a reçeu au delà de ce que ledict Noble Testateur veut et entend que ses fils payent à leurs dittes soeurs, pour leur portion dans les tiers de ses biens, il ordonne que ce qu'elle à reçeu luy doit rester pour payement de sadite portion, et quant à ses autres filles, il veut et entend que ses fils leur payent à chascune la somme de dix mille florins, payables en argent, creances ou fonds, ou que sesdits fils s'en obligent eux mesmes le tout à leur choix ; que si Louyse Françoise femme de provide Samuel DesCombes dudit Lausanne à laquelle il à esté remis par constitution de mariage des biens de la deffuncte Dame Espouse dudit Noble Testateur en jouissance, pretendroit estre lezée par rapport au contract de son mariage sur la somme cy devant ordonnée pour toute sa portion, il la laisse dans le benefice de se prevalloir autant que de droict, puis qu'il n'entend pas d'y rien deroger ny qu'il puisse d'ailleurs deroger au surplus de la presente disposition, et quant à Jeane Judith d'autant qu'elle s'est mariée avec un Estranger sans le consentement de son pere, il veut et ordonne que ny elle ny son mary ne puissent vendre ny allienner le capital de la portion qui luy est assignée sans l'aveu et consentement de ses freres, lesquels sur ce cas devront prendre toutes les precautions necessaires pour mettre ledit capital en seurté, afin qu'il soit preservé en faveur des enfants de leur ditte soeur, et à l'esgard des autres filles dudit Testateur qui ne sont pas encor mariées, il ordonne que ses fils leur feront outre ce qui leur est ordonné cy devant à chascune un trousseau selon leur condition, et comme ledit Noble Testateur croit que la portion assignée à ses dites filles surpasse leur legittime dans ses biens, il veut et entend que le surplus, arrivant que sesdittes filles meurent sans enfants legitimes, soit substitué en faveur de ses fils et filles qui leur survivront; que s'il arrivoit que quelques uns des enfants dudit Testateur voulut s'opposer à l'effect de ce testament et disposition de derniere volonté, et obliger sesdits fils à quelque manifestation sermentale, il veut et ordonne qu'il soit renvoyé à se contenter de leur simple legittime dans ses biens, d'autant qu'à l'esgard de tels contredisants, il declare qu'il preroge ses males dans tous ses dits biens selon le pouvoir que les loix luy permettent d'en disposer & qu'il peut estre d'ailleurs libre de le faire & si cette disposition n'est pas contreditte comme ledit Noble Testateur s'y attend, et qu'il arrive quelques difficultés au sujet du payement que les freres doivent faire à leurs soeurs, soit pour le partage des fonds entre lesdits freres, il ordonne que le tout doit estre reiglé par trois de ses plus proches parents, leguant aux pauvres de Lausanne cent florins, à ceux de Moudon cent florins, à ceux de Lustry cinquante florins, à ceux de Gumoens vingt florins, à ceux d'Escublens vingt florins, à ceux d'Hermenches vingt florins payables par ses heritiers prerogés, cassant et annullant tous precedents testaments, donations, et codicilles, voulant que celuy cy aye son plein et entier effect comme estant sa constante volonté qu'il à reconfirmé appres la lecture qui luy en a esté faitte en presence des Egrege vertueux et provide Phillippe Tacheron Juge Consistorial & Daniel Humbert Tacheron assesseur Ballival et Conseiller et d'honnorable Phillippe Guex bourgeois de Moudon le susdit jour 25me Mars 1711.
Signé Burnand
Omologué en Conseil [de Lausanne] le 10
e avril 1725.
An account of the Crousaz family in a volume published by the commune of Lutry (Lutry sous le régime bernois (1536-1798), Louis-Daniel Perret, editor, Commune de Lutry, 2000, pp. 153-184 ) includes a photograph and transcript of a summary of the descent of the family from their acquisition of citizenship in 1642 (signed by Boisot, secretary of the councils of Lausanne, 28 jan 1775). The discussion notes that Boisot's supposedly faithful extract from the church registers and other records has apparently confounded several individuals having similar names, but the last section gives the names of the (surviving?) sons of Humbert Crousaz:
Humbert, qui demeure en Prélaz, a quatre Mâles, Sçavoir, Jean Louis, Jean François, Isaac, et Pierre Crausaz.
This passage seems to imply that Jean Louis was the eldest son among those who survived to adulthood. The one cited as Pierre is apparently the one baptised as Pierre François in 1693. The question of the daughters is still unresolved. The copy of the testament recorded at Lausanne does not mention Susanne, wife of Gabriel Monod de Froideville, but it may be that the original testament, as recorded in Moudon, included a phrase such as "Susanne, Susanne Gabrielle" that was taken at Lausanne to be an erroneous duplication, and so the supposed extraneous word Susanne was removed. In addition, the wording of the testament as recorded at Lausanne is ambiguous in the passage relating to the unmarried daughters. Was it meant to say that both Susanne Gabrielle and Françoise Elizabeth were still unmarried? Or was it intended to refer to any of them who might happen to be unmarried at the time the testament was probated? The notary who recorded the testament could have been Denis Burnand, Philippe Burnand, or Sébastien Burnand, all of whom left at least some of their registers to posterity, or possibly some other member of the family whose registers have not survived. Thus, it may be possible to locate the original testament and perhaps resolve this problem.
The testament is helpful in one other respect: it distinguishes between Jeanne Ursule, who had married the Banneret Bourgeois (still not identified with certainty), and Jeanne Judith, who had married a "foreigner" without her father's permission. The baptism of Jeanne Judith has been located; the baptism of Jeanne Ursule has not.

Elizabeth MAYOR (bp. 26 JAN 1651)
In the "assignal" acknowledging receipt of his wife's dowry (06 oct 1683, Gaspard Mayor, notary, ACV DB 27), he appears to be called "Seigneur Raisin de Golion". There are some ink blots that make the reading somewhat uncertain, but "Raisin de Golion" is clear.

Although it may not be obvious from the wording of the above testament, the testament of Isaac's brother Pierre François gives us additional clues that tell us the references to Louise and Suson "de Crousaz" concern the children of the sister of the wife of their late brother Jean Louis, who had married Jeanne D'Albenas. Further, the nephew DeSaussure was the son of Jeanne D'Albenas by her first husband, and thus also a nephew of Issac.

He must have died before February, 1744, since he is not mentioned in the testament of his sister Susanne Gabrielle Crousaz. Some of his children are mentioned, though it is not completely clear which ones. Based on the death records in Lausanne, he must have been the métral who died in 1725, age36, followed in 1732 by his widow Jeanne Marguerite Loys.
The records of the commission on the bourgeoisie of Lausanne (ACV RB 020/008) give him an additional son Albert Noé, with a wife Louise Picot, and a number of descendants. The baptism of this son has not been located, but the other records seem to be in order.

- TITLES/'DIT' NAMES/OCCUPATIONS: actor
- BAPTISM: 5 APR 1734, Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland

One of the sponsors at his baptism was Jeanne Crousaz née d'Albenaz, who was the wife of the judge Jean Louis Crousaz, apparently son of Humbert Crousaz "de Prélaz". However, there is also a "Madame de Crousaz de Mézery" née d'Albenaz at another baptism at Lausanne in 1744, which might suggest that Jeanne d'Albenaz was not affiliated with the Crousaz "de Prélaz" family at all. This apparent contradiction is explained by the marriage at Lausanne, 20 mar 1743, of Noble Rodolph de Crousaz, son of Benjamin (elsewhere identified as Seigneur de Mézery), to Susanne d'Albenaz of Nimes, born at Geneva, daughter of the late Noble Henri d'Albenaz, capitaine. Thus, there were two Crousaz wives née d'Albenaz (sisters, both daughters of Henri d'Albenaz of Geneva) associated with different Crousaz families.
Jean Louis de Crousaz died at Maastricht, having achieved the rank of Capitaine-Lieutenant. He was also known as an actor.

His baptism has not been located. He appears a number of times in association with his siblings and other relatives. Unexpectedly, we found him also at Moudon, where he is identified as a city councillor. His widow Jeanne d'Albenas is also noted at Moudon. He died at Lausanne, but the record there does not give his age.
Citations at Moudon: 15 jan 1730, Noble Jean Louis Crousaz de Prelaz, sponsor at a baptism for the Poeterlin family; 11 may 1730, Jean Louis Crousaz de Prelaz, conseiller de Moudon, sponsor at a baptism for the Besançon family; 01 may 1734, Noble Jean Louis Crousaz conseiller de Moudon et juge de Lausanne, sponsor at a baptism for the Cerjat family; 08 feb 1746, Madame Jeanne née d'Albenaz veufve de Monsieur Jean Louis Crousaz juge de Lausanne, sponsor at a baptism for the Jossevel family.

Jeanne Judith DE CROUSAZ (ID #I14424)
(female)
- BAPTISM: 8 JUL 1677, Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
Father: Humbert DE CROUSAZ (b. 31 MAR 1652, d. 27 MAR 1725)
Mother: Elizabeth Marie DE LOYS (b. abt 1653)
Her father's testament of 25 mar 1711 says that she had married a "foreigner" without his permission. The same testament mentions a sister of Jeanne Judith, Jeanne Ursule, who was at that time the wife of the Banneret (Jean Louis?) Bourgeois, thus telling us that Jeanne Judith and Jeanne Ursule must be two different persons.
Later references to "Jeanneton" Crousaz pertain to Jeanne Ursule, since "Jeanneton" is said to be the widow of the Banneret Bourgeois. Since there seem to be no later references to Jeanne Judith, it may be that she had already died, leaving no descendants, by the time her siblings made their testaments.

Jeanne Julie DE CROUSAZ (ID #I14121)
(female)
- BAPTISM: 18 JUN 1712?, Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
- DEATH: 4 AUG 1712?, Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
Father: Jean François DE CROUSAZ (bp. MAR 1685, d. 17 OCT 1725)
Mother: Jeanne Marguerite LOYS (b. abt 1688, d. 4 SEP 1732)
Her baptism appears to be recorded out of chronological order. The sponsors included Jeanne Ursule widow of Jean Louis Bourgeois, possibly significant in that a sister of Jean François Crousaz, "Jeanneton", is known to have been the widow of a former Banneret named Bourgeois. At least two such Bannerets are known: Jean Louis Bourgeois, Banneret du Bourg, died 25 mar 1710, and Abraham Bourgeois, Banneret de St. Laurent, died 01 nov 1727. There is also a death record for "Ursule" Crousaz, widow of the Banneret Bourgeois.
A death record for Julie, daughter of Monsieur le Justicier Crousaz 04 aug 1712 may be hers.

Jeanne Ursule DE CROUSAZ (ID #I12831)
(female)
- BIRTH: abt 1672?
- DEATH: 3 NOV 1760, Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
Father: Humbert DE CROUSAZ (b. 31 MAR 1652, d. 27 MAR 1725)
Mother: Elizabeth Marie DE LOYS (b. abt 1653)
Family 1
:
Jean Louis BOURGEOIS (d. 31 AUG 1711)
Her baptism has not been located. She is apparently the "Jeanneton" Crousaz mentioned in the testament of Susanne Gabrielle Crousaz as her sister, widow of the Banderet Bourgeois (1744). Her husband, therefore, may have been the Jean Louis Bourgeois, Banderet du Bourg, who died 30 aug 1711 or else Abraham Bourgeois, Banderet de St. Laurent, who died 01 nov 1727 age 69. The latter seems the most likely from the point of view of chronology.
However, there is also a death record at Lausanne 03 nov 1760 for Madame Ursule Crousaz widow of Mr. le Banneret Bourgeois, age 88 (implying a birth date in 1672). A further clue is the presence at the baptism of Jeanne Julie, daughter of Jean François Crousaz, justicier, and his wife Jeanne Marguerite Loys, of a sponsor Jeanne Ursule, widow of Jean Louis Bourgeois (18 jun 1712). Taken together, these records strongly suggest that the Banneret in question was Jean Louis Bourgeois, and that "Jeanneton" Crousaz was actually named Jeanne Ursule.
The testament of her father, Humbert Crousaz, was dictated at Hermenches 25 mar 1711. It mentions Jeanne Ursule, wife of the Banneret Bourgeois, as well as Jeanne Judith, who had married a "foreigner" without her father's permission. Thus, Jeanne Ursule cannot be the daughter baptised as Jeanne Judith in 1677. Jeanne Ursule must be a different person.
In the birth order of this family, we suspect she is the eldest daughter. However, that raises the possibility that she was born before her father's marriage to Elizabeth Marie Loys. In other words, she might be the daughter of an earlier wife of Humbert who has so far escaped notice. Her death record in 1760 specifies that she was then 88 years old. Another indication that she might from a prior marriage is the statement in Humbert's testament that the property of his late wife (not named) had been passed to another daughter, Louise Françoise, in her marriage contract. However, the list of daughters in Humbert's testament (at least in the form it was recorded in Lausanne—the original has not been located) is clearly defective, since it omits Susanne, the daughter who married Gabriel Monod de Froideville, named as a sister of the others in the testaments of Humbert's children.
