Probably not Swiss, but Cazenove and Debaz or similar are frequently encountered in Swiss records (18th-19th Centuries). Thus, possibly associated in some way with the circle of bankers and financiers in which this branch of the Marcel family seems to have moved.

[1498] Date of contract, copy recorded at Charleston, South Carolina (Marriage Settlements, vol. 5, pp. 445-451, South Carolina Archives). Contract was recorded in 4e Arondissement, Paris, 20 Thermidor XIII.

Jaques Samuel DECOSTERD       (ID #I2353)

(male)
Family 1 :
  1. +François David DECOSTERD (dates unknown)

 

He and his male descendants are described in the church records of Vevay as "bourgeois de Vevey, de Chatillens, d'Essertes, et de Tavernes". These last three villages are all in the parish of Oron. While there are other Decosterd families (with varied spellings according to the whim of the pastor) in the church records of Vevey, it appears that all of them with this particular combination of bourgeoisies are related.

Alixa (Alixone) DEGRANGES       (ID #I5768)

(female)
Father: Jaquetus DEGRANGES (d. ABT 1466)

Family 1 : Jean GRISSOD (d. ABT 1517)
  1. +_____ GRISSOD (dates unknown)

 

Marriage contract recorded by Pierre Moron, père, mentions two uncles of Alixa.

There is some confusion on relationships. The marriage of Johannes Grissod and Alixone de Granges features her uncles (avunculus) Vuilleme Tyndro (or PerTyndro?) alias Pucel and Anthoine Mecza. Vuilleme and Anthoine appear to be of the same generation in this document (22 nov 1467, Pierre Moron, père, notary at Payerne). But a document of the same notary dated 12 nov 1474, testament of Claudia dicta Pucella, widow of the late Pierre Montanna (?) of Payerne, names heirs Vuilleme Tyndro alias Pucel, her brother, and Margarita daughter of Anthoine Mecza her uncle. Unless, as occasionally happens, "patrem" has been mistakenly replaced by "fratrem" by the copyist, the second document makes Anthoine one generation earlier than Vuilleme (or is this a second Vuilleme, son of the first one, making Claudia the daughter of the first Vuilleme Tyndro alias Pucel?). Or, perhaps there were two Anthoines, father and son. No later equivalent of the surname Mecza has been deduced; this notary frequently inserts a "c" where some other consonant would belong today, writing Tecta for Testaz, etc. It is possible that Mecza should be understood as Mestaz or something similar. (Another document of Pierre Moron, père, 21 feb 1468, involves a transaction, possibly a donation, of Vuilleme Pucel and Alixone his wife to Anthoine Mecza "eorum nepoti" for his many kindnesses...) We are left without a clear indication of how Alixone is related to Vuilleme Tyndro and Anthoine Mecza.

[1504] Date of marriage contract recorded by Pierre Moron (père), notary at Payerne.
