Documents recorded by Rodolphe Demont, notary in the vicinity of Moudon, contain several mentions of "Guido Detecto de Cabanis supra Meldunum parroche de Mollens dyocessum Lausannensis" (Cabanis is modern Chavannes, Mollens is modern Morlens in Fribourg—note that Chavannes was part of the parish of Morlens prior to the Reformation). In one of these, 15 oct 1519, he appears to be donating money for the celebration of mass at Chavannes. His sons sold vineyards to Maurice son of the late Claude Detecto 24 aug 1528, recorded by the same notary. Still alive in 1522.
His testament was recorded 14 may 1512 by Michel Frossard, notary at Moudon. He asks to be buried next to his father and to his late brother Nicod at the church of St. Maurice at Morlens; bequests to various religious organizations; sons Rolet, Jean, and Antoine; daughter Jeanne wife of Nicod Cons of Vuarmarens, Claudia wife of Claude Jordannaz of Carrouges, and Guillermette wife of Jean Roch.
However, there is a conflict in the records. Some of the later records identify his father as Vuilliermus. A series of terriers in the cantonal archives of Fribourg (AEF Grosses de Rue, especially numbers 81, 89, and 120) mention apparently the same Guido de Tecto as the son of a Roletus de Tecto. In fact, this seems a more plausible paternity, since the name Roletus appears several times in this family, and the name Vuilliermus does not. But that leaves us wondering why the name of his father was given later by the notaries of Moudon as Vuilliermus.
Suffragant at Moudon 1798-1799, then pastor at Denezy 1799-1804, then at Combremont and Faoug. Marriage approved by the Supreme Consistory of Bern, probably because they wanted to celebrate it at Syens, where neither he nor his bride held citizenship.
As Hieronime, Jeronime, Jerosmine, Jeremoz, or Geronime Dutey, he is mentioned several times in the records of the notary Rodolphe (Roud) Demont in the 1540's and 1550's, among the children of the late Rolet son of the late Guy Dutoit. The terrier ACV Fn 337, for the Cure de Moudon, has a reconnaissance for Jaques Dutey (=Dutoit) pour une quarte part de la moytié, Pernette relicte de Jerosmine Dutey pour la quatre part, Pierre Dutey pour l'aultre quarte part, Roulx Dutey pour l'aultre quart part de ladicte moytié, Thyvent et François Jossivel comme bientenants de Jehan filz de feuz Claude Vesre (=Veyre) pour l'aultre moytié, dated 01 dec 1574 (fol. 237). The text explains that the property had previously been held, half by Rod or Rolet du Tey de Chavannes and the other half by Jehan Vaire. This reconnaissance tells us that Hieronime or Jerosmine Dutoit had died by 1574, leaving a widow Pernette, presumably acting as "mère tutrice" for her children in her late husband's share of the property. However, the previous terrier, compiled by François Collon, seems not to have survived.
Evidently there was just one Humbert (adult) around 1600, who had at least two, and probably three wives. This explains transaction of Abraham Dutoit "frère paternel" of the late Jaques Dutoit favre (DeCristaz, 1633). If first wife is the right one,
Humbert is the son of a Jean Charles DuToict (no other record of this person). However, it is very likely that there was an additional wife about 1580. An illegitimate daughter Sara is noted 09 jul 1576. Later children Ulrich (1611) and Magdelaine
(1618) may belong to this Humbert as well. Humbert is first noted as deceased in 1622. No evidence has been found to require that there were more than one Humbert Dutoit.
