No clear identification. A seigneur de Chamilly was valet de chambre to Louis XVI of France and was guillotined in 1794, but his son lived to 1827 (Hoefer, Nouvelle Biographie).

Charpentier calls 4.7.1802

I suspect this call may have had some connection with Godwin & Richard Phillips' calls of two days before (see Miller).
