The Dutoit family must have been in Chavannes-sur-Moudon since the development of surnames. A document preserved at the archives of Moudon, dated 31 aug 1356, involves a sale by Estienne Dutoit son of Pierre (or Perrod) Dutoit dit D'Ogo of Chavannes. Estienne was a merchant who resided at Estavayer. There is, however, a 100-year gap between him and the earliest connected genealogy we have been able to assemble for this family.
In early documents, the surname is most often rendered in Latin as De Tecto, a literal translation of "du toit". In the old script, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the small letters "c" and "t", so it is possible that some names such as "De Tetto" (Johannes De Tetto, salt merchant and citizen of Lausanne, mentioned in the testament of his widow Guillermette, 05 feb 1407, AVL PT 14/47) might be read as De Tecto.
While the birthdate is about right, the father's occupation is not noted in the register. It is possible this Abraham was married first to Françoise de Sarzens, then to Françoise Mivillaz of Sarzens. It is more likely that it is one Françoise, mistakenly identified once in the baptismal register as de Sarzens. Further, this would have to be the Abraham who married (earlier) to Antheine daughter of François Dutoit of Neyruz and Jeanne Genier.

There is considerable uncertainty about the early Antoine Dutoit's! How many were there? For the moment, in the absence of any attempt in the parish registers to distinguish one Antoine from another by noting occupation, filiation, or a dit name, we started by attaching all of the earliest children to the same man. There is a gap between 1579 and 1585 when the next batch of children begins, and by 1588, there are clearly two Antoine's, or else one of the children baptised that year is illegitimate.
A record of 1598 (Jaques Richard, notary at Moudon) notes that three daughters of one of the Antoine's were already married by that date, named Isabeau, Andréaz, and Françoise. Now, there was an Isabeau daughter of Antoine baptised in 1588, but she would obviously be too young for marriage. We think it likely that she, as well as Zabey daughter of Jaques Dutoit baptised in 1587, was named for the original Isabeau (equivalent to Elizabeth) who was then recently married. Although the sponsors were not recorded at this period in Moudon, the pattern a bit later would be for women of marriageable age (and just past the age of confirmation) to appear as sponsors at baptisms, as if to put them on display in the church to attract a suitor. The Elizabeth daughter of Antoine who was baptised in 1569 would have reached the age of 18. If this is the correct Elizabeth, her sisters Andréaz and Françoise would have been older, born before the surviving register of baptisms at Moudon, which begins 25 jan 1568. The terrier ACV Fn 347 (fol. 110) reveals that these three sisters, heirs of the late Antoine (22 mar 1592), were the grandchildren of Maurice Dutoit son of Claude.
It is possible, since the notarial records seem to be silent about brothers of the three sisters, that the Antoine whose children are baptised between 1572 and 1576 was someone else. However, it is equally plausible that all the rest died in childhood.
At least we can rule out that Antoine father of Elizabeth/Isabeau was the Antoine of Vevey. The latter is referred to as "bourgeois de Vevey" in the records of Clement Butty, while the same notary calls the father of Isabeau "bourgeois de Moudon". Also, the terrier ACV Fn 347 tells us that the Antoine in Vevey was the son of Louis Dutoit (fol. 76), while the Antoine who left the three daughters was the son of the late Maurice Dutoit son of Claude (fol. 110). The remaining unattached children of an unknown Antoine are retained here, pending further discoveries.

While the date is about right for the son of Jean Dutoit the pelletier, the father's occupation and wife's name are omitted from his baptismal record. Therefore, we can't be completely sure this is the correct baptismal date for the husband of Judith Cavin. The marriage record also fails to provide any details. Notarial records provide the name of his mother. Since we find a mention of Judith widow of Antoine Dutoit in 1655, among other reasons, it appears the Antoine who married Anne Cavin is a different person.
His marriage record was discovered in the records of a notary from Lausanne:
Philippe Vullyamoz, notary at Lausanne (ACV DG 294/1, fol. 80v-81v), 13 sep 1634

Something of the fortunes of his family may be gleaned from the account of a large loan he negotiated from Noble Henri de Praroman 12 jan 1613, recorded by Philibert Secrétan, notary at Lausanne (his registers, unfortunately, appear to have been lost). In 1630, Baltazard's surviving sons had to refinance the loan, apparently due to changes in the regulations pertaining to such arrangements:
16 dec 1630 (Philippe Vullyamoz, notary at Lausanne, ACV DG 294/, 5-7):

Levation au pied dedut lettre de rente.
[The document refers to a requirement for adequate security against letters of rent, but the date that that limitation was imposed is somewhat in question. The actual regulation presented by Regula Matzinger-Pfister (Les sources du droit du Canton de Vaud. C. Epoque bernoise. I. Les mandats généraux bernois pour le Pays de Vaud, 1536-1798, Schwabe & Co.: Basel, 2003, p. 332 ff.) is dated 16 jun 1631, but the regulation rescinding these provisions (23 jul 1658) indicates they date from 1628. Since the document transcribed above was evidently produced in response to some related regulatory change and dates from 1630, it is apparent that either the date of 1631 is a scribal error, or else there were additional changes dating from 1628 that Matzinger-Pfister did not find. One of the changes in the regulation dated 1631 was to limit the term of a letter of rent to no more than 10 years, but our document appears not to set a definite term. Instead, it seems to rely on the specification of mortgaged property to comply with new regulations—note that the regulations were intended to protect creditors, not debtors! Apparently the changes to the original terms were acceptable, or else we would not expect the much later notation to apply, when it became necessary to substitute other mortgaged property for the vineyards that the Dutoit family had sold. Periodic renegotiation of the terms of loans, some stretching over several generations, was standard practice under the ancien régime. When a series of documents related to the same original debt can be recovered, it is often possible to make genealogical inferences.]
A settlement between Egrège Baltazard DuTeyt, notary, bourgeois de Moudon, and conseiller, and François Gaulley bourgeois de Moudon his "beaufrère" (brother-in-law) was recorded 13 apr 1602 by Jaques Richard, notary at Moudon (ACV DL 79/3). The dispute seems to offer no further clues of a genealogical nature, but the relationship is consistent with the marriage of Baltazard's sister Jeanne Dutoit to François Gauley in 1566.
Baltazard had died by 29 mar 1620, when his sons Jonas, Jean, Philippe, and Daniel made a "reconnaissance" for property at Lutry (ACV Ff 166 fol. 170v), evidently purchased by their father from the Arensoz family. It is likely that the other sons had already died by this date, since they were not parties to this document.

Appears as witness at baptisms in 1621 and 1622. So far, she is the only Benoite who can be identified as belonging to the "au Clerc" branch of the Dutoit family, and so she is accepted provisionally as the last wife of Joseph Fabri. She is called Benoite Clerc when she appears with her husband at a baptism 23 may 1658 at Moudon.

Among the sponsors at his baptism was his uncle Gabriel Jérémie Dutoit. The identity of the "wards" (this is the word used in some American versions of their story) Charlotte and Marie who traveled with the family to America in 1817 have been a matter of speculation. Is it possible they were actually DeTrey relatives instead of Dutoit? No Dutoit relatives of the right age have turned up.
What conclusions can be made about these wards? The first point is that, from their ages, they are clearly not the children of Eugène Dutoit and Lydie de Trey, unless they were born well before their marriage. This couple is not supposed to have met until about 1815 (Lydie's story is told in some detail in Les de Trey, Philippe Mottu, Morges: Editions Cabédita, 1988) Further, it was usual for children to be "legitimized" by the subsequent marriage of their parents. Also, it does not seem likely that they were siblings of Eugène, since in that case their father Marc Philippe Dutoit and his wife Sabine Secrétan would have been perfectly capable of caring for them. There is a slim chance that they were illegitimate daughters of Eugène, but if that were true, it is hard to believe that this circumstance would not have been mentioned prominently among the objections of Lydie's father concerning the marriage.
The ages of these "wards" are somewhat in doubt. Charlotte's tombstone is now broken in such a way that the age at death is missing. However, earlier transcripts indicated she was age 66 when she died in 1875. Unfortunately, she died just at Christmas time, when the local newspaper took a week's vacation. No notice of her death appeared at that time. The 1860 and 1870 censuses agree in making her several years younger, implying a birth date in 1812 rather than 1809. In the 1850 census, she is in the household of Philip "Betten" (senior), where she is age 40, born in Switzerland (Jefferson Tp, fol. 422—the enumeration of this family is misleading; one of the members is Amelia Duplan, who is followed by a number of other members of the Bettens family, including Charlotte, without a notation that their surname is not also Duplan!). From the apparent ages of the "wards", and from the fact that Eugène had apparently become their guardian, we would have to conclude that they lost their parents no earlier than about 1814, in order for Eugène to be old enough to assume this responsibility. That he served in this capacity at all seems convincing evidence that he was a close relative of the children, who would almost certainly be therefore grandchildren of the minister Jean Philippe Dutoit-Aguet. (The minister died in 1790, so the children cannot be his.)
As far as we know, there were only two other sons of Dutoit-Aguet: Charles Victor, who was also a minister, and Gabriel Jéremie, of whom very little is known. Charles Victor was still alive as late as 1834; secondary sources place his death in 1838. Gabriel Jéremie is last known alive in 1793, when he was a sponsor at the baptism of Eugène Dutoit. For lack of a better candidate, the most likely father of the "wards" Charlotte and Marie Dutoit is therefore Gabriel Jéremie, or, perhaps, an unknown son of either Charles Victor or Gabriel Jérémie.
Later family notes add a child Frederick. There is also a case in the Supreme Court of Ohio regarding the partition of the estate of Eugene Dutoit, who died intestate in August, 1865, leaving six children living, and two deceased (Philip Dutoit and Julia Doyle) who had left three and five children respectively. But we found that the daughter Louisa had married Samuel Doyle, while the family notes say that the daughter Julia, likely the daughter born about 1836 who is listed with her parents on the 1850 census, married George N. Wilson, which we were able to confirm in the burial records of Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio. Julia and her husband are buried in the same plot with Eugène and Lydie. The de Trey genealogy notes that Lydie died at the home of her daughter, Julia Wilson, but the relatives in Switzerland were under the impression that Eugène and Lydie had only seven children, not the eight mentioned in the court papers.

Catechumen 27 apr 1771 at Bern, where his father was minister. He may well have been the C. V. Dutoit who served as chaplain of a Swiss regiment commanded by Major-General Mey and garrisoned at Mastricht as early as 1786. He was pastor at Vevey and Montreux 1796-1800, Cully 1800-1815, and later (?) at Pully and Vevey (1823 until at least 1834).

Documents of Jean Jaquier (or Jaqueri), notary at Moudon, 04 may 1559, mention a number of transactions between members of the Dutoit clan. Those that refer to the late Claude Dutoit are possibly confusing, but seem to indicate that he had a son Maurice who had died recently, a living son Claude, and a living son Jaques. If the references to Jaques son of the late Claude all refer to the same man, the one that gives the late Claude's father's name as Pierre would thus establish his parentage.
Claude's testament was recorded by Rodolphe Demont, notary at Moudon, 24 mar 1524. It names his wife Antonia, sons Maurice and Claude, and daughters as follows:
That he had two daughters Françoise (or Francesca, in Latin) is confirmed through several sources. This situation alerts us to the possibility that Claude had two wives, though no other indications have surfaced so far.
He is identified as the son of the late Jacobi Detecto, parish of St. Maurice of Mollens (modern Morlens). He leaves bequests to that parish as well as the religious community of St. Claire in Vevey. He asks to be buried in the tomb of his predecessors at the church of St. Maurice of Morlens.
The same Claude is probably not the Claude Dutoit of Chavannes who appears in the marriage contract of Louis deCostel alias Bellaz to Guillemette daughter of Claude Girard of Blessens. Claude Dutoit is listed as the maternal uncle of Guillemette. However, we have not figured out whether the relationship is through Claude or his wife (not mentioned in that document, however -- 10 apr 1524, Rodolphe Demont, notary).
In 1522, Claude appears with his son Maurice to record a settlement with Antoine Lombard of Morlens on behalf of his daughter Isabelle, "ad opus eiusdem Mauricii, videlicet de per super Defloracionem suis corporis ditte Ysabella sibi per dictum Mauricium facta..." A few months later, in January 1522/23, Maurice married Anteine, daughter of Jean Trolliet of Seigneux. (Documents of Michel Frossard, notary at Moudon).

Many appearances in early notarial records at Moudon, as the son of the late Claude and brother of the late Maurice Dutoit. A marriage contract recorded by Humbert Demierre 05 jan 1567 has his daughter Jeanne marrying François Gauly (?) the elder, which helps to establish his dates. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that this is the same Claude DuToict whose son Balthazard appears in 1576 sharing a 1/2 interest with Jaques son of the late Mauris Dutoit (cited by Jaques Richard, notary, 30 may 1599). Other documents (1599, 1602) recorded by Jaques Richard, notary at Moudon, identify Balthazard as the brother-in-law of François Gauley, and refer to a partage recorded by another notary in 1576, between Balthazard for himself and the other children of (the late) Claude Dutoit (1/2 interest), and Jaques Dutoit for himself and the other children of (the late) Maurice Dutoit (the other 1/2 interest). However, we have not yet figured out who Claude married, or which baptisms pertain to his children.
Somewhere among the many Claude Dutoit's, mentions of Claude son of the late Pierre in documents that also mention Maurice son of Claude are evidently referring to another man. One possibility is that the other Claude was the son of Pierre son of Nicod brother of Guy.
Among the fragmentary notarial records of Vevey, there is a section of a register belonging to Clement Butty (DS 106/113) that contains a reference on 21 apr 1593 to Thomas and Jaques Dutoit of Chavannes-sur-Moudon, tuteurs of Jeanne de Boloz. We recognize her as the Jeanne du Bouloz who married André Dutoit, son of Claude Dutoit "le jeune", in 1594. It is not entirely clear if Claude "le jeune" was still living at that date, but as André was baptised in 1569, it is clear that "Claude son of Claude" is not the same man as "Claude le jeune", whose children would have been born as early as the 1540's. And he can hardly have been "le jeune" if he was born around 1515! (It seems quite likely that Thomas and Jaques arranged the marriage with one of their close relatives in order to consolidate her estate with that of their own family, and that Claude Dutoit "le jeune", father of André Dutoit, is most likely a sibling or cousin of Thomas and Jaques.)
We see in another record of Henri Garrod, notary at Corsier, 15 dec 1574, Pierre son of the late Humbert Perrod of Chardonne in the parish of Corsier selling to Claude son of the late Claude DuThey of Chavannes sus Mouldon, vineyards at Chardonne. Thus, Claude may be one of the first of his family to branch out to the area around Vevey.
Claude son of the late Claude DuTey of Chavannes also acquired citizenship at Chesalles-sur-Moudon in 1560, though we have no evidence that he or any of his children actually lived there (document cited in the inventory of the communal archives of Chesalles-sur-Moudon, and a copy at the ACV examined by Anne Bohy).
The terriers of Moudon appear to give additional information about this Claude. By 10 jun 1593 (ACV Fn 131 fol. 3v), Claude du Tey de Vuarmarens had died, and his son Jehan du Tey made a "reconnaissance" jointly with his "beau-frère" Antoine Frossard, who had married Anne, daughter of Gervais Gervais, mercier and resident of Moudon. The text reveals that the mother of Anne Gervais was Claudaz, daughter of François Demont. Claudaz was also the mother of Jehan du Tey, making Anne the step-sister of Jehan. Anne and Jehan had inherited the property in question from their mother. The next reconnaissance (fol. 4v) concerns Egrege "Baptizard" (=Balthazard) du Tey filz de feuz Claude du Tey, but for property that he purchased from Pierre Demont. The simplest explanation for this is that Balthazard and Jehan were both sons of the same Claude du Tey, but they had different mothers. Under this hypothesis, since Claudaz Demont survived Claude du Tey, she must have been his second (or even third) wife, but whether Claude was her first or second husband is yet clear. We should be able to resolve this issue of chronology from the terriers, which contain several other mentions of Gervais Gervais. Therefore, we interpreted this Jean Dutoit as the son of the present Claude by his second wife Claudaz Demont.
However, the records of the notary Jaques Jaquery (Jaqueri, Jaquier) of Moudon (ACV DL 53/1 fol. 30v) suggested that we had conflated two families here. On 15 mar 1559, Claude Demont (the name of his late father is left blank) sells to Claude Duthey son of the late François Duthey of Vuarmarens, the 1/4 part of land belonging to him at Moudon dessous Sainte Catherine, which was owned jointly as follows: 1/2 to François Demont and the heirs of Pierre Demont, 1/4 to the seller, Claude Demont, and the remaining 1/4 to Bernard Demont. The heirs of Pierre Demont are evidently those listed as such on fols. 47-48 of the same register: Pierre, Benoyte, Abel, Jean, and the late Catherine who was the wife of Jean Burgade, minister at Granges. As a result of these discoveries, we are forced to separate the two families.

So far, the only available information is "the late" father of Elie, Pierre, and Jean. The baptisms of the sons are not found at Moudon, Payerne, or Granges (and the Lucens church records before 1640 are lost). If he is truly the father of Jean Dutoit dit "au Clerc", he might also be the father of the Pernon "Clerq" who married Abraham Dutoit dit Billet.
Baptised as Claudaz, daughter of Jean Dutoit dit au Clerc, and cited as Claudine, daughter of Jean Dutoit dit au Clerc in 1652.
Was she the Claudine who married Balthazard Crausaz in 1658? She could be the one cited as "Claudine fille de Jean Dutoit" at a baptism in 1660. In the latter context, it seems unlikely that she would have been identified this way if she were already married. Were there two Claudines, each the daughter of a different Jean Dutoit? On 25 jan 1664, Antoine Dutoit, who later became the Lieutenant de Chavannes, dictated a report of the verbal testament of Jean Dutoit, leaving the bulk of his estate to his daughter the wife of Balthazard Crausaz. Such a report would normally be made very soon after the death in order to be considered valid, but in this case, it appears Claudine's father had already died by the time she married Balthazard Crausaz in 1658. Antoine would presumably have had an interest in the estate either through blood or marriage in order to have legal standing to make such a report. The report, in a register attributed to the notaries Jean and Abraham Faucherres (ACV DL 40/2), does not tell us much about Jean Dutoit, only that he was from Chavannes. His widow was Jeanne "Pechon", and his sole residual heir was his daughter Claudine, wife of Balthazard Crausaz. Since the Jean Dutoit dit au Clerc was survived by many heirs, the nuncupative testament of 1664 cannot be his.
However, we think it is possible that the Claudine daughter of Jean Dutoit dit au Clerc may have been the one who married Jaques Veyre in 1653. She is identified in 1678 as a "cousin" of Antoine Dutoit Lieutenant de Chavannes, and in 1670 as his brother-in-law. She was the Claudine daughter of Jean Dutoit dit au Clerc who appears as a sponsor at the baptism of Claudine daughter of Pierre Dutoit and his wife Marie Dutoit (a problematic record, since no such couple is known, but possibly this is Pierre Dutoit and Marie Frossard), 03 may 1651. We accept this notion tentatively, but clearer evidence is needed.

Son of Jean Dutoit dit au Clerc, according to a baptismal record that also names his mother. The only Jean with a son Daniel in the right age group to have married Pernon Cortesi seems to be this one. This Jean is known to have had a brother Pierre whose wife was Catherine.
A note of confusion is added by a probable error in "dit" names. In repeated references to Benoiste, wife of Jean Dutoit, one in 1624 identifies him as Jean as "au Clerc". It now appears that Benoiste was married to a different Jean Dutoit, not of the "au Clerc" branch.
The two surviving sons of Daniel Dutoit and Pernon Cortesy, Antoine and Joseph, appear in a document of Abraham Faucherres, notary of Moudon, 11 dec 1685, relating to the estate of a Jean Antoine Dutoit who died before 02 feb 1677. At first, we were inclined to think that this was the Jean Antoine who was the son of Antoine Dutoit Lieutenant de Chavannes and his wife Claudine Curchod, born in 1672. But that Jean Antoine seems too young to have acquired an estate for which the sons of Daniel Dutoit and Pernon Cortesy would have any claim. There are other mentions of an estate of Jean Antoine Dutoit in 1691 (e.g., Isaac Dutoit, notary at Moudon, DL 37/3, 14 jul 1691), this time held jointly by Baltazard Crausaz (possibly through his wife, Claudine Dutoit) and by Antoine Dutoit the Lieutenant (apparently acting for his surviving sons by Claudine Curchod). It is not know precisely when the Jean Antoine who was the son of Antoine the Lieutenant died; the last unambiguous reference to him seems to be the testament of his grandmother Magdelaine Berzin in 1673. Could the Jean Antoine who died before 02 feb 1677 have been another son of Daniel and Pernon? Or perhaps another son of Jean Dutoit and Claudine Sauvageat?
