He was bailli at Gessenay and Yverdon, and served on various missions from Their Excellencies of Bern.
He purchased the Château de Montagny at Lutry, probably from the heirs of Niklaus Gatschet the younger. This property became part of the dowry of Suzanna Dübi in her marriage to Daniel Gatschet in 1647. The archives of Cully report a document (5 E 233) in which Elizabeth "Pachet" and her children sell "le vieux château de Montagny" to Jean Rodolphe Düby, 11 sep 1639. Since Montagny is known to have been in the hands of the Augsburger family in the 16th Century, it seems most likely that it next belonged to Niklaus Gatschet by virtue of his marriage in 1599 to Anna Augsburger. We surmise that it remained with the heirs of Niklaus until it was sold by his daughter Elizabeth in 1639, and that her name has been transcribed in error in the inventory of the archives of Cully. If this hypothesis is correct, an examination of the records of Cully and Lutry might be worthwhile.

Pierre Arnold Borel gives the name as DuBois, but Gélieu family records give Duboz. Both readings are probably correct, as spelling was quite variable at that time.

The surname DuBois is sometimes an alternate spelling for DuBoz or DuBouz. It was under the latter spelling that we discovered what we presume to be her fourth and final marriage, to the notary Jean Baptiste Sonney. He recorded a transaction on 28 apr 1660 for his wife on behalf of her son François Nicolas Portaz, who was about to undertake a journey in hopes of curing an illness from which he was presently suffering, based on a power of attorney dated 15 april 1660 recorded by Isaac Clavel, notary.
