A document of Jean Ballif, notary at Payerne, dated 30 aug 1583 identifies Josué as the son of Noble Jean Gachet and Denise Regnault. From the wording, we see that Josué was the residual heir of his mother's estate, and since his interest in a particular bequest was still under the authority of his father at that date, we can infer that he was then under the age of 25. His first appearance in the church records at Payerne is as a witness at a baptism in 1580, signifying that he was at least past the age of first communion, normally about 17 in those days. He appears in his own right as early as 1591 (once cited as "Juncker" Josué Gachet), and a letter from him to his "intimate and special friend", the notary Claude de Place, is found in one of the registers of that notary (ACV DI 48/28, fol. 37, 01 apr 1593):
Au Signeur Claude de Place mon Intime et special amis, en Chastagny.
Signeur Claude au retour de Monsieur le General Morattel dempuis Lausanne à Payerne luy demandis comme aviez arrester touchant ma part de la maison de la Crausaz encontre sa grange de Grandvauz.

Parquoy veu qu'elle est demeurée jusqu'à presente vous prie qu'à la premiere commodité que se presentera vuidies ce fait et m'en advertir aussieys le communiquer audit sieur General au premier voyage qu'il fera par nos quatiers que sera aydant Dieu en brief. Dont en attendant tant laditte declayration que de vos nouvelles finiray la presente par mes plus affectionnées reccommandations à vos graces, en priant que le tout puissant, Signeur Claude, doint santé longue et heure[ux] vie. De Payerne ce 1 en Apvril 1593. Le vostre affectionné amis, Josue Gachet.
Banneret 1588-1592 and avoyer 1601-1610, according to the "official" published lists (in the Dictionnaire historique, geographique & statistique du Canton de Vaud, 1914-1921, edited by Eugène Mottaz, see the article on Payerne by A. Burmeister and F. Tavel), but it appears he was actually avoyer until 1612. The church registers mention both Josué and Petermann Gachet many times between 1610 and 1612. The published lists say Petermann was the avoyer during this period. However, Petermann is called "Noble" but never Avoyer, while Josué is almost always called "Sr. Advoyer", and never "ancien Advoyer", as might have been expected if he were no longer in office. The documentary source supporting the statement that Petermann was Avoyer 1610-1612 has not been found.
In 1612, according to a number of secondary sources, he was cited before a "Conseil de Réforme" at Bern and sentenced to exile and a large fine for abuses of his office. Most of the citations relating to this episode seem to trace back to LouisVulliemin's Histoire de la Confédération Suisse (1841-42, vol. 2), which in turn cites Anton von Tillier's Geschichte des eidgnössischen Freistaates Bern (1838-1840, vol. 4), but we are beginning to suspect that events in Bern might have been misinterpreted. The often-quoted story that there was a Conseil de Réforme (von Tillier gives the name in German as Reformationsrat) specially constituted to examine complaints about the behavior of the Baillifs and other officers, that this commission invited notables from throughout the Pays de Vaud to present their grievances, and that the commission issued findings against David Tscharner, Josué Gachet, and several others, has so far not been directly confirmed. David Tscharner was indeed brought to Bern and executed for treason (June, 1612—the statement in the genealogy by von Mülinen that he was accused of conspiring to allow Morges to be occupied by Savoie, though not implausible for the period, seems to be in error), but the information reported from the Manuaux de Conseil de Payerne by Jean-Maurice Béranek and Edmond Ischi shows that the council of Payerne did not discuss sending representatives to Bern to discuss their complaints against Josué Gachet until 11 oct 1612, with the appointment of one of these delegates, Jean Chuard, as the new Avoyer on November 24th (according to the Chuard genealogy, where Jean Chuard is no. 63). It is possible that there was not a formally constituted commission, but only a number of matters arising that were handled more or less independently at about the same time. Whether Bern should be congratulated for its courage in facing up to the misdeeds of some of its appointed officials of that time, as Vulliemin suggested, is not clear.
Von Tillier says that Josué was accused of appropriating timber from a forest (apparently belonging to Their Excellencies) and other "extortions", that he was brought to the prison (Insel) of Bern where he was kept in leg irons until he paid a fine of 1000 livres, and that he was then exiled from Bernese territories.
Josué himself has not appeared personally in any record we have found so far after 1612, but his wife appeared in the church records of Payerne until at least 1624, and was present at the signing of the marriage contract of her daughter in November, 1628 at Granges-près-Marnand. There are several records prior to his dismissal relating to disagreements between Josué and the other councillors, but in almost every case the Avoyer's position was vindicated on appeal to Bern. The disagreements seem to center around the mills on the Broye. It may be that Josué was building his own mill and intended to operate it independently of the mills owned by the city of Payerne, but the excerpts we have seen so far are worded with such circumspection that we cannot be certain. Another interpretation might be that he had been granted city funds to build a mill, but had not satisfied the terms of the contract. Or, if the mills were actually sawmills, and following the implications of von Tillier's account, that he was selling lumber obtained from trees that he had harvested illegally.
Ischi reports an "arrêt souverain" dated 09 dec 1604 that gives some idea of the frosty relations between the Avoyer and the council. The terms of the settlement dictated by Their Excellencies of Bern support the Avoyer (their representative in the government of Payerne) in almost all points. Among other matters, the council was forbidden to appropriate for itself any part of damages assessed against individuals for various crimes, because these damages were the property of Their Excellencies and their officers (notably, Josué). The seal of the Avoyer was required for a number of situations, so that the council could not proceed without approval from the Avoyer. The council could not muster the local militia for reviews or exercises without the approval of the Avoyer. On the other hand, limitations were placed on the fees that the Avoyer could collect for placing new lawsuits on the docket, awarding damages to litigants, and so forth. It is clear that the council felt their historic and hard-won "privileges and franchises" for the governance of their city were being usurped by the Avoyer, and thus by Their Excellencies of Bern. The same conflict between local autonomy and the authorities in Bern played out across the Pays de Vaud, from the first days of the Bernese occupation in 1536, until the inevitable revolution of 1798.
The most explicit statement concerning the dispute that seems to have led to Josué's dismissal was published by Béranek and repeated by Ischi, from the Manual de Conseil (Archives de Payerne, A7/68), 11 oct 1612:
"Sur les prolixes réponses et invectives accusations par Monsieur l'Avoyer donné sur la verbale requête à lui faite, touchant le Moulin ou gruaire par celui-ci bâtit contre ses promesses contenues en la concession de la place de ses nouveaux bâtiments, il a été à présent convenu et ordonné qu'une verbale réponse sera faite audit Seigneur Avoyer, que l'on entend rien déchoir de ladite concession et ne lui rien donner de réponse par écrit et accusation en temps lieu requis, et demander à l'Excellence, nos Souverains Seigneurs que leur plaisir soit, pour nous mettre en paix, nous déléguer 2 Seigneurs pour faire l'examen de sa vie et de la notre. Toutefois, si ledit Seigneur Avoyer veut bâtir et se conformer à ses promesses de ne rien bouger.
"Et pour accourir à l'excellence de nos Souverains Seigneurs, sont élus Monsieur le Banneret [Jean] Chuard, Noble Pierre Fivaz et le Secrétaire."
The complaint of the council must have been expedited in Bern, for Jean Chuard was appointed Avoyer before the end of November, 1612. The allusion to a "concession" may refer to a document still in the archives of Payerne (EB 1, 06 mar 1606, notary De Trey, likely Salomon de Trey, then secrétaire de Payerne) whereby Josué Gachet, avoyer, cedes to the city a lot near the mills on the Broye, for 450 florins.
The extracts published by Béranek include a report of Josué visiting, or perhaps merely planning to visit, his properties by night to escape detection, in 1615:
19 may 1615: "Pour la cause que Josué Gachet, comme l'on en a été averti, qu'il visite de nuit les Moulins et qu'il prétend des choses. Il a été avisé que l'on attendra ce qu'il veut demander et de se tenir fermement à notre passement judiciaire obtenu, à nos lettres et sceaux à nous concédés par LL. EE." (In the matter of Josué Gachet, who, as we have been alerted, may visit the Mills by night and make various claims. It has been advised that we wait to see what he may ask and hold firmly to the judgement obtained, and to our letters and seals conceded to us by Their Excellencies.)
Perhaps he was living at Cugy or Fétigny, adjacent to Payerne but under the jurisdiction of Fribourg, or he may have lived at Estavayer and traveled to Payerne by way of Cugy. If so, we will probably find some record of his presence in the cantonal archives of Fribourg.
At a later date, Béranek reports, 15 sep 1619: "Noble Josué Gachet requérant les Honorés Seigneurs de vouloir permettre qu'il put créer un procureur pour négocier ses affaires et assister à sa femme, désirant se retirer en France. A quoi il a été accepté."
The full text of von Tillier's account is given here:
Anton von Tillier, Geschichte des eidgenôssischen freistaates Bern von seinem Ursprung bis zu seinem Untergange im Jahre 1798, 4:36-38 (1838).
"Weit ernster und bedenklicher als die äußere Lage des bernischen Gemeinwesens drohte die innere zu werden, da bei der ausgedehnten Macht de Regierung eine Menge de allergefährlichsten Mißbräuche sich eingeschlichen hatten, über welche theils bestimmtere, theils unbestimmtere Beschwerden der Unterthanen bis zu den Ohren des Obrigkeit drangen. So weit war indessen das Uebel nicht gekommen, daß es der letztern an dem Muth und dem festen Willen gefehlt hätte, dem Uebel, und waren noch so ernste, noch so schonungslose Mittel dazu nothwendig, zu steuern. Also setzten Räthe und Bürger, nachdem sie sich von den Gefahren und der Dringlichkeit der Abhülfe jener Unordnungen hinlänglich überzeugt, einen Untersuchungsausschuß ein, der den Namen Refomationsrath trug. Dieser beschied dann im Mai 1612 aus jeder Gemeinde des deutschen und welschen Landes einen Kirchendiener sammt einigen des achtbarsten bürgerlichen Beamten, von denen er sich, nach genommener Rücksprache mit ihren Räthen und Gemeinden, über alle bei ihnen herrschenden Mängel Bericht erstatten ließ, und sie über die Art und Weise anhörte, wie dieselben nach ihrer Ansicht am besten abgestellt werden könnten. Hier erhoben sich nicht wenig Beschwerden wider die Landvögte, die städtischen Räthe, untergeordnete Beamten und andere einzelne Personen, wegen Gelderpressungen, Wucher und unerlaubter Vortheile von Seite de Reichen gegen die ärmere Klasse, so daß die Obrigkeit bald einsah, daß es ohne langen Verzug zum Aeußersten kommen würde, wenn man der eingerissenen Verderbniss nicht die allerkräftigsten Dämme entgegensetze. Gegen niemand erhoben sich jedoch heftigere Klagen von allen Seiten als gegen David Tscharner, Landvogt zu Morges. Also wurde er unter dem Vorwande wichtiger Eröffnungen nach Bern beschieden. Allein als er sich, daselbst angekommen, eiligst auf das Rathhaus begab und durch Anklopfen an das Rathszimmer bei dem Schultheißen meldete, ließ ihn dieser letztere sofort durch den Ammann in die Insel begleiten und in Verhaft setzen. Als nun Tscharner von dem Scharfrichter über die gegen ihn gerichteten Anklagepunkte peinlich befragt werden sollte und sich ohnedem überwiesen sah, erbot er sich, ohne Folter freiwillig die Begründtheit jener Vorwürfe einzugestehen und darauf zu leben und zu sterben. Demüthig setzte er unter jenes Geständniß mit seinem Namen die Bezeichnung eines armen Sünders bei und bat dringend um Schonung. Durch dieses reuevolle Geständniß wurde der Unglückliche zwar von der Marter befreit, nicht aber von der Strafe. Es wurde ein Todesurtheil über ihn ausgesprochen. Vier Mitglieder des großen Raths, welche sich täglich ablösten, hüteten ihn nebst einigen Weibeln. Am 24. Juni nahm ihm der Großweibel, aus Auftrag des Raths, das Barret und die Baarschaft und Kleinodien ab. Auf die dringende Fürbitte der Verwandten vergönnte man ihm, das letzte Mahl in seiner Gefangenschaft, und nicht, wie es bei gemeinen Verbrechern üblich war, im St. Johannserhause zu genießen. Als er am 29. von der Insel zu der Münze neben dem Rathhause geführt wurde, wo er das Vorlesen seines Prozesses abwarten sollte, zeigte Tscharner eben soviel Reue als christliche Geduld. Der Anblick des schönen, trefflich gestalteten Mannes, dessen Beredtsamkeit und Liebenswürdigkeit sonst als Muster gegolten, und dessen Vater dem bernischen Gemeinwesen in einer langen Reihe von Jahren die ausgezeichnetsten Dienste geleistet hatte, machte in dem Herzen manches Zuschauers, der ihn jetzt einem so schmählichen Tode mit Ergebung entgegen gehen sah, einen tiefen Eindruck. Selbst dem Seckelmeister Zehender, seinem Richter, gingen, als er ihm in dem Gange der Münze sein Beileid klagte und eine rührende Antwort erhielt, die Augen über. Auf dem Richtplatze an der Kreuzgasse angekommen, hielt Tscharner noch eine sehr ergreifende Rede an das Volk. Dann legte er seinen Mantel ab und überließ sich dem Scharfrichter, den er zur Erfüllung seiner Pflicht ermahnte. Ruhig und ungebunden empfing er, auf einem hölzernen Stuhle sitzend, unter andächtigen Gebeten den Todesstreich (Stettler's Chronik, Mss. ad 1612, Rathsmanual, Nr. 23).
"In die nämliche Gefangenschaft, in welcher David Tscharner gesessen hatte, kam bald darauf der Gubernator von Aigle, Peter von Werdt, früherhin Mitglied des kleinen Raths. Aber von Werdt, auf seine angesehene Verwandtschaft bauend, stellte sich fröhlich und wies die Zumuthung zu Geständnissen zurück. Demungeachtet wurde er, nach einer Gefangenschaft von mehreren Wochen, nachdem einige Stimmen zum Tode gefallen, von Räthen und Bürgern auf ein Meile weit von Bern verwiesen und überdieß um 2000 Pfunde bestraft, die er vor seiner Erledigung verbürgen mußte. Josua Gachet aber, den Schultheiß von Petterlingen, legte man, wegen gefährdevollen Verwüstungen des obrigkeitlichen Hochwalds daselbst und allerlei Erpressungen, in Fußeisen in die Insel, bis er zur Abtragung der bedeutenden Kosten eines Strafgeldes von 1000 Kronen und der Verweisung aus dem bernischen Gebiete verurtheilt ward. Endlich mußte Petermann von Wattenwyl, seiner Mitbürger, Daniel Moratel, welche diesen letztern in große Gefahr stürzten, dem Beschädigten alle Kosten vergüten und 10,000 Kronen Strafe bezahlen, vor deren Erlegung er das Land nicht wieder betreten durste (Stettler's Chronik, Mss. ad 1612, Rathsmanual Nr. 24). Durch solche entschiedene und schonungslose Maßregeln hoffte man, den am öffentlichen Wesen nagenden Krebs mit der Wurzel auszurotten."
The Chronicle of Michael Stettler, one of the wonders of the Burgerbibliothek in Bern, remains in manuscript. Will the DigiBern project eventually make it available in digital format? We are indebted to Therese Metzger for the following transcript of the section referred to by von Tillier:

Still alive 02 feb 1621, when he requested and received permission to build on his property on Rue des Rammes against city-owned walls; dead by 06 jun 1621 when his widow made requests relating to another construction site.
However, the name of the bride looks more like "de Jossigny" in the register at Payerne. We follow the notarial records.

Mentioned, apparently, in a very messy record in the minutaires of Jean Marcuard, 29 sep 1582, in connection with a transaction between Claude Tholley (?) and Eg. Benoit Nible, regarding the late Benoitte de Moulin, wife of Nible, Marguerite his (Tholley's?) sister-in-law, and in the name of Noble "Marguerite" daughter of the late Noble François Gachet. A document in the archives of Payerne (Nible, 05 nov 1575) calls her Magdeleine, "fille unique de feu N. Frs. Gachet". There are many other similar references that call her Magdelaine, daughter of the late François Gachet. She is cited this way as late as 1594.
Traditional genealogy says that the Magdelaine Gachet who married Samuel von Erlach was the daughter of Niklaus Gatschet, born in 1575. However, that Magdelaine died of the plague at age 2, according to her father's family book, so we must look elsewhere. Another possibility is that she was the only surviving child of François Gachet (d. 1575). From the birthdate of her last child, she could not have been born much before 1570. She must have inherited property at Payerne, as may be deduced from the fact that the de Trey family incurred management expenses there on her behalf in 1585 and 1586.
The logic of assigning her as the daughter of François is bolstered by the finding that François owned property at Mur, where some years later we find apparently the same property in the possession of Samuel von Erlach and "the Gachets". In addition, there seems to be no mention of any other Magdelaine Gachet (or Gatschet) at this period.
Proof that this Magdelaine was the wife of Samuel von Erlach is found in a terrier of the "noble fiefs" of the Evêché de Lausanne (ACV Ff 112, commissaire George Ansel, fol. 704-707). The reconnaissance is dated 16 feb 1586. It identifies her as the daughter of the late François Gachet. The property was a house in Lutry that had been purchased 23 oct 1573 by François Gachet from the notary Claude DuPlaict and his wife Jeanne Arbin. The house had previously belonged to Henry Arbin. (There are marginal notations that probably refer to other terriers: Gignilliat le Vieux—the last word apparently written over the word Jeune—fol. 275, and Bulet fol. 485. Are these earlier or later terriers?)

Marguerite GACHET
(female)- BIRTH: BEF 1550
Mother: Marguerite VALLIER (b. ABT 1505, d. AFT 1560)
Family 1 : Gérard GUISAN (d. BEF 1583)
- MARRIAGE: 19 JAN 1578, Avenches, Vaud, Switzerland [8769]
- Pierre GUISAN (bp. 9 NOV 1578, d. BEF 1583)
- Daniel GUISAN (bp. 29 MAR 1580, d. 1599?)
- Nicolas GUISAN (bp. 27 JAN 1583)
- MARRIAGE: 3 MAY 1583, Payerne, Vaud, Switzerland
- Pierre NIBLE (bp. 16 MAY 1585)
- Isaye NIBLE (bp. 8 AUG 1589)
Marguerite's marriage settlement with her second husband was recorded by Jaques Girod, notary at Payerne, 27 mar 1587. It mentions bequests to Marguerite that constitute her dowry of 1475 fl.: 475 fl. from her inheritance from N. Jaques Valliez, received from her uncle P. Valliez de Crissier au Landeron; 800 fl. in lieu of usufruct from the estate of her first husband in accordance with their marriage contract; and another 200 fl. evidently by way of repayment of a debt? The 800 fl. amount is accompanied by an odd phrase, "...ledit assignateur auroit retire pour hemende de l'hommiccide perpetre a Nyon de sondit feu mary declayre et ordonne par la souverain mettre oultre..." It is evident from this that her first husband Gérard Guissant was murdered at Nyon sometime before 1583 (date of the marriage record with Benoit Nible at Payerne). An accompanying document concerns the division of a woodlot apparently held jointly with the heirs of the late Claude Banquettaz. It is not explained how this property came to be jointly owned.
The Valliez name is certainly the modern family Vallier de Cressier (with an additional branch Wallier de Soleure), a branch of the house of d'Estavayer. In fact, both Reynold and Vallier are described in various sources as "de Cressier", so it is very possible that (a) there may be some of them identified under both names, or (b) that Marguerite's mother's mother was a Vallier. This last possiblity would play out as follows: N. Jaques Vallier would have been her great-grandfather or possibly her great-uncle, and a grandson or son of Jaques would thus have been the Pierre Vallier uncle to Marguerite. Such a relationship might be expected to be mentioned in Marguerite's first marriage contract to Gérard Guissant (modern surname is spelled Guisan, well known at Avenches). Hence, the parish registers and notarial records at Avenches need to be checked as well.
The Vallier family is generally listed as "Vallier de Cressier et Vallier du Landeron", and our document gives all three names, so we are certainly on the right track. There appears to material on this family 1307-1887 at the archives of Neuchatel, in addition of an account in the Genealogiste Suisse, vol. 10 (1943), pp. 88-98.
Accounts of Guisan of Avenches appear in the Schweitzerisches Geschlechterbuch, vol. 7 pp 205-216, and of de Reynold in volumes 1 pp 438-448 and 5 pp 519-521. De Chambrier appears also in the same volumes.
Marguerite's mother is clearly Marguerite Vallier, and the former would have been perhaps 16 to 18 years old at the time of her first marriage about 1578. Marguerite's sister Jacobe identified her sisters (including Marguerite) without any indication that one or more of them was of a different mother. If that can be taken at face value, then all of the sisters would have been born after about 1557, since Jean Amey Gachet's first wife Denise Regnaud was still alive in 1556.
There is a problem with the dates here. Marguerite's last child by Guisan (Nicolas) was baptised at Payerne 27 jan 1583, and there are court documents dated 31 jan 1583 mentioning Nicolaus and his brother Daniel as heirs of Gérard. (The matter was not Gérard's estate, but an inheritance from the Mayor de Lutry family, of which Gérard and his brothers Samuel and Jean Jaques would each have been entitled to one third.) One of these documents notes that Marguerite had already remarried to Nible, in spite of the apparently clear marriage date at Payerne recorded 4 months later. It is possible, perhaps, that the church marriage was not recorded until a suitable period of mourning had elapsed, even though the marriage contract had already been signed.
Emile Ritter says that she married third to Pierre Tribolet of Neuchâtel (he died 1592).
Date from notes of Jacques Moreillon (FHL microfilm), no source given.

Marguerite GACHET
(female)- DEATH: AFT 1559
Mother: Jaquaz DUTRUICT (d. 9 MAR 1553)
She attended the wedding of her brother Niklaus Gatschet in Bern, January, 1559, and she is described at that time as living in Payerne. From this, it seems we can rule out that she was actually a sister of his bride. We are less sure whether she might have been Marguerite Vallier, wife of Jean Amey Gachet. Assuming she is really a sister of Niklaus, it is very likely that the name of her husband is recorded somewhere in the records of the notaries of Payerne.

Marguerite Salomé GACHET
(female)- BAPTISM: 29 JUN 1696, Payerne, Vaud, Switzerland
- DEATH: aft 1737
Mother: Anne Marie COMTE (bp. 23 OCT 1664, d. bef 1729)
Catechumen, Christmas 1710, listed as Salomé, daughter of Mr. l'Advoyer Gachet. She may be the Marie Salomé Gachet who is mentioned in various notarial records in the 1730's, purchasing property and loaning money, but there are reasons to suppose otherwise.
Although she should not normally have required a guardian as late as 1737, she is clearly the Salomé Gatchet daughter of the late Monsieur l'Advoyer Gatchet whose "tuteur" Samuel Nicolas de Trey, ancien banneret, sold various properties on her behalf beginning 27 nov 1737 (Samuel Comte, notary at Payerne, ACV DP 21/2). The minutaires of the same notary document several transactions showing that her affairs were managed by the Chambre des Orphelins of Payerne, and that she had other guardians over the course of many years, such as N. François Nicolas de Treytorrens (1729) and Frédéric Jaccaud (1735).

We are not completely sure which of the "Magdelaines" married Abraham Chuard. Assisting at her marriage contract, held under the coustumier de Lausanne at Granges-près-Marnand, were her brother-in-law Moyse Biolley, notary of Lausanne, and François Estoppey, Lieutenant de Granges, her maternal uncle.
Date of contract, from the Chuard genealogy, which calls the bride Magdelaine. We found the contract in the records of Jean Estoppy, notary at Granges-près-Marnand (ACV DP 38/1).

Family 1 : Ursule MORATEL (dates unknown)

Placed here provisionally, as no definite record of his birth or his parentage has been found. He was known usually as David, and was the secrétaire de Payerne about 1591-1593. He left a legacy to Petermann Gachet, who would be his nephew if we have placed him correctly. The notaries make no mention of his heirs or wives in the records examined to date. His notarial registers from 1591-1593 survive (ACV DP 42/1, FHL microfilm #0997090). He was admitted to the notariat of Payerne 06 jan 1591, according to his registers.
