Bourgeois de Payerne, 1560. He is apparently the same Charles Meyer who was Advoyer de Fribourg, and as such, father of Hanns Meyer, Conseigneur de Carrouge circa 1591. A secondary source calls him "bourgeois de Fribourg, anobli par Charles-Quint en 1555." The parentage and relationships of the branch of the family associated with Carrouge remain to be investigated.
(Does the phrase "anobi par Charles-Quint en 1555" provide a clue to the source of the sudden "nobility" of other, related families about the same time, such as the Gachet family of Payerne around 1562?)

Originally from Strasbourg, he became a citizen of Fribourg in 1491. The circumstantial evidence strongly suggests that his sons Franz and Nicolas were from his marriage to Antonia Faulcon; otherwise, it would not make much sense for Antonia's brother Peter Falck to make them his heirs and even to ask that they take his surname, since Peter had no sons of his own. However, an item in AEF "Notes historiques extraites des archives cantonales de Fribourg et relatives aux familles de cette ville" gives the date 1506 for a testament of Barbe, daughter of the late councillor Jacob Bugniet, sister of Peterman Bugniet, and wife of Daniel Meyer, and naming as her children Valpourg (a nun), Marguerite, Franz, Wilhelm, and Nicolas, as well as her sisters Marguerite and the Dame Arsent. The source for this item is given as a document of the notary Bartholomy Heckart.
Is it possible that the sons Franz and Nicolas from the first marriage died, and that Antonia Faulcon bore him two additional sons Franz and Nicolas?
The Charles Meyer who married Marguerite du Moulin circa 1560 almost certainly is a descendant of Daniel as well. He is apparently a son of Daniel and Antonia who was born after the death of Peter Falck, since his son Hans was regarded as a nephew of the Franz and Nicolas who are named as heirs of Peter Falck.
Capitaine in the Garde de Savoie at the time of his marriage in 1598. His marriage contract, recorded by the notary de Montenach in a register covering 1596-1601, is listed in AEF "Notes historiques extraites des archives cantonales de Fribourg et relatives aux familles de cette ville", 2 volumes.

Apparently the same Daniel Meyer "de la vallée de queiras en Dauphiné" who married Madeleine Chagrier de Prit (or Crest) en Dauphiné and baptised daughter Madelaine Susanne 10 mar 1710 at Morges, witnesses "Samuel Cellier oncle and Susanne Meyer tante et femme du predit parrain". Thus, Susanne and Daniel were siblings. Daniel appears as a merchant refugee in a baptism at Bière 1718. He is present at a baptism in Morges in 1739, another in Vevey in 1748.
There are interesting citations of an Elizée Meyer at Nyon in the 1780's. He is cited as bourgeois de Tolochenaz, district of Morges, with wife Françoise Marquis. In 1782, they baptised a child Jean Daniel at Morges, sponsored by Jean Daniel Johannot, Jeanne Amaron, and Susanne Johannot (presumably née Bailly). Could Elizée be a son or grandson of Daniel Meyer?
Further, there are references to a Daniel Meyer with wife Marie Guyot at Lausanne around 1700. The same man or different?
[3091] Age in huguenot census of 1698 was 20. Daniel was living with his uncle Louis age 58, wife Marie Belon age 55.
[14653] Date of contract.

Marriage recorded in Stoever's PA records.
Genealogy chart attached to letter included marriage of Caspar Diller, circa 1783, to widow Eva Magdalena Meyer. (Note that sources differ as to date of this marriage).
He is almost certainly the Franche Meyer bourgeois de Fribourg who purchased property from Philibert Ruerat at Payerne on behalf of N. Gaspard Faulcon of Fribourg, 02 feb 1548 (Blaise Chalon, notary at Payerne, ACV DP 13/1). A notation about his widow Catherine Pavillard and their children (1577, AEF "Notes historiques extraites des archives cantonales de Fribourg et relatives aux familles de cette ville", 2 volumes, source for this extract apparently a register RN 195 fol. 188 of the notary Franz Guernel covering 1558-1578) does not list his son Hans, attested from other records. The likely explanation is that Hans was from a prior marriage, the name of his mother not yet discovered.

Avoyer of Fribourg, and noted as nephew of Nicolas Meyer. His marriage contract of 1568 is noted in AEF "Notes historiques extraites des archives cantonales de Fribourg et relatives aux familles de cette ville", 2 volumes, referring to a register of the notary Hans Hecht dit Batscher covering 1559-1571.
In spite of what appears to be clear evidence from these sources, the on-line edition of the Dictionnaire Historique de la Suisse makes him a son of Nicolas Meyer and _____ de Furno, citing "AFam, fichier, généal. d'Amman et de Gottrau, AEF". This version also gives him a second wife, Elizabeth Gottrau, probably the daughter of Simon.

A memorial inscription that could only be his gives his age at death as 74 years. However, the age seems too high, given the fact that his mother's first husband seems to have been alive as late as 1504. Or, was he actually the son of Daniel Meyer's first wife, a puzzle that is still not resolved? He was Avoyer of the district of Morat 1555-1560 (office alternating every 5 years between Bern and Fribourg), and he was Seigneur or Conseigneur of Carrouge from before 1564 until his death. He is mentioned in the marriage contract of his nephew Nicolas, son of Franz Meyer, 1560 (cited in volumes of extracts relating to notable families of Fribourg, AEF "Notes historiques extraites des archives cantonales de Fribourg et relatives aux familles de cette ville", 2 volumes; the reference for the marriage contract appears to be a register of the notary Hans Hecht dit Batscher covering the years 1552-1560).
The following epitaph is from the pen of Guillaume Techtermann:
Proxima Nicoleos habet hic monumenta sepulchri
Meyerum clarae nobilitatis honos,
Triginta et septem vitae geminaverat annos,
Justitiae cultor, Religionis amans.
Proximus huic de fratre nepos, haeresque Joannes
Meyerus, generis lausque, decusque sui,
Clarus apud proceres belli dux atque senator
Haec statuit mentis lucida signa piae.
(Cited from a paper found in the private archives of the Tectermann family at Bionnens, Tobie de Raemy, "Le chancelier Techtermann", in Archives de la société d'histoire du canton de Fribourg, 10:383-428, 1908. The construction "triginta et septem vitae geminaverat annos", literally "he had doubled thirty-seven years of life", is based on a poetical turn of phrase in Ovid's Tristia; Nicolas was "twice thirty-seven", thus 74 years old when he died, if the inscription can be believed.)
Is the epitaph intended to imply that Jean Meyer (or Hans, depending on the fluctuating linguistic politics of Fribourg) was the next of kin of Nicolas, which would make us think Nicolas had no children of his own? Or merely that both men were buried next to the monument for which the epitaph was intended? Certainly the wording makes Jean Meyer the moral successor of Nicolas. Guillaume Techtermann (1551-1618), son of Pancrace Techtermann (d. 1599) and Elizabeth de Brandenburger (d. 1604), had a brother Pancrace Techtermann who married Barbe Meyer in 1591. Barbe or Barbille Meyer was a niece of the Jean/Hans Meyer who died in 1612.

Extract of his marriage contract in AEF "Notes historiques extraites des archives cantonales de Fribourg et relatives aux familles de cette ville", 2 volumes. The original source appears to be a register of the notary Hans Hecht dit Batscher covering 1552-1560. Another record, dated 1599, from a register of Antoine de Montenach, 1593-1607, gives the (surviving) children by each wife. In the marriage record of 1560, the surname of the wife is Velliard; in 1599 it is Alt, the German equivalent of Velliard. The surname changed because of linguistic politics in Fribourg.

It is tempting to think that he was the father of Antoine and Nicolas Meyer, brothers, whose marriage contracts were recorded in 1598 and 1601, respectively, without indication of their parentage. Both were soldiers about the time of their marriages and both appear a few years later in official functions of the city of Fribourg. They were probably born about 1570-1575.
