Does this occupation to you indicate that Christopher was in the employ of another ... as I have future generations of the troll name being in a "laquais" profession.

Thank you for your help --

Hmm, not sure about that.
Could be the ‘treasurer’ as well.

https://www.der-familienstammbaum.de/ahnenforschung/alte-berufe-k says
“Kammer, Kammerer, Kämmerer (obd.)
Verwalter der Einkünfte, der Schatzkammer (an Höfen, in Gemeinden und Klöstern). Dazu Kammermeister, Kammerschreiber, Kammerknecht, Kammerwächter. Kämmerling (mhd. kemerlinc »Kammerdiener«).”

Could be Gerichtsbote (summoner) as well. See here:

So not very clear. Maybe you can derive the meaning from another parish register record.

If you say his descendants were valets/lackeys,it could well be that he was too. In these days the sons often took up the profession of their father.
