Schappert · ◉ direct ancestor

♂Nicholas Schappert

Born about 1715, Germany (unconfirmed). Died 1770, Vincennes, Province of Quebec, British Colonial America (unconfirmed).

Also recorded as Nicolas Chappert, Nicolas Chappart, Nicolas Chapert, Nicolas Chapart, Nicholas Chappard, Nicolas Schabart.

Nicholas Schappert (c. 1715 – 1770), written Nicolas Chappart in the French records, was a German-born settler of Pennsylvania, Detroit and Vincennes who is recorded as commandant of the Vincennes post in the last years of his life. He was the seventh great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through his daughter Marguerite Chapart (1748–1772).

He was born in Germany about 1715. On 17 April 1746 he married Mary Clara Stockschleger at the Jesuit mission of St Paul at Goshenhoppen, now Bally, in Berks County, Pennsylvania, according to a marriage index. A compiled translation of the mission’s marriage register, published in 1982, adds that the bride’s father and Wendel Heiffer were the witnesses. The same compilation says the couple then moved west by way of the French posts, with two children baptized at Detroit in 1747 and 1748 and the family’s Vincennes records beginning on 2 July 1749, where four more of their eight known children were baptized; these details come from the compilation alone. A compiler of the family’s history states that he was commandant at Vincennes from 1765 until his death there in 1770, when the post had passed to British control; that office rests on the compilation alone.
