SOPHIA ALBERTINA, PRINCESS OF SWEDEN. 1229
NOTE 249.
CHAMBERLAIN VON AMMON.
(a) "Christopher Henry von Ammon, the brother of Madame de
Marteville, from whom the Academician Thiébault received his ac
count of the "Lost Receipt" (see Document 274, p. 644), was born
in Halberstadt. Soon after the accession to the throne of Frederic II,
he became minister resident at the Court of Dresden, and afterwards
Minister Plenipotentiary. On that occasion, in 1742, the King
ennobled him; and in 1765 he extended this honour by a diploma
to the three brothers of the ambassador. He is mentioned as Baron
von Ammon, Royal Chamberlain, and councillor in the superior court
of the French colony. In 1768 he published a genealogical work
with the following title: Généalogie ascendante de tous les Rois et
Princes des maisons souveraines de l’Europe actuellement vivans. The
first member of this family, which originally came from Neufchatel
in Switzerland, is Bernard Ammon, who was councillor of the King
of Poland, and fomerly judge of the French colony at Halberstadt."
The above is derived from Zedlitz-Neukirch, Neues Preussisches
Adels-Lexicon. From the same source we also derive the following
notices:
(b) "A sister of the Baron was married to a Count von Schwerin”
(see Document 276, II, p. 681).
(c) "Extracts from the Register of the Church of the French
Refugees in Berlin:
"Certificate of marriage of Anthony Christian Lewis Marteville
de St. Souverain, a native of Tornau in the Marche, Aide de Camp
of General de Ginkel in the service of the Republic of the United
Provinces; son of Arthur Anthony Peter, Lord (Seigneur) de Marte
ville St. Souverain, Beaupré, and Boisgoubert, captain in the service
of the King of Prussia and of Lady Lucretia d’Estope-to Made
moiselle Mary Louisa Ammon, daughter of Bernard Ammon, coun
cillor of the King of Poland and judge of the French colony at
Halberstadt."
