Baptismal record of his son Abraham (1630) notes presence of Jaques Cloux, brother of Jean François. The baptisms of these have not been found in Montricher, though there are many references to the Cloux family.
Married in 1731 at Vich, where the record identifies her husband only as "Sr. Dutoit grand voyeur de Moudon". Her parentage is not given, and the records at Vich are very incomplete. After 1732, the office of Grand Voyeur passed from the Dutoit
family permanently, when Antoine Dutoit was dismissed from his post. A document recorded by Jean Estienne des Tallents, notary at Lausanne, dated 11 oct 1731 reveals further details: "Egrège et Prudent Antoine Dutoit bourgeois de Moudon Grand Voyeur
au Pays de Vaud et demeurant proche et rière Lausanne, lequel ayant été informé que Demoiselle Antoinnaz Cochet sa femme cy devant veuve d'honorable Marc François Renier de Vic [i.e., Vich] et en son vivant Justicier de Prangins, que pour terminer les
difficultés qu'il y a entr'elle et Jean Daniel fils de feu honnorée Marie Renier femme du Sieur Imbert Perrier de Rolle, il y a un compromis soit liaison pour y proceder..." (and they appoint arbiters to settle the matter -- the settlement itself has
not been located yet).
Sponsors for the baptism of Benjamin and his twin brother Samuel Jean Pierre included Benjamin Duvoisin, proposant (theology student) at Lausanne, relationship not stated. He might have been an uncle of the children.
At Geneva, 1704, consacrated in 1706, deacon at Echallens 1712-1718, deacon at Moudon and minister at Siens 1718-1722, pastor at Payerne 1722-1758. The baptism of his son Nicolas, at Moudon on 27 sep 1721, indicates he was then pasteur at Siens and "second pasteur" at Moudon.
Given name may be Ella, as in 1925 census where Ella Cochran daughter of Afred Cochran and Martha Jane Baird age 36 appears with her husband. 1920 census has Allie, but Allie G. Baird of this parentage is 2 years younger and married to a different man per 1925 census.
