Her testament of 11 apr 1765 was recorded by Jaques David Burnand, notary at Moudon. It mentions her sister Rose. By 1764, she is said to be "malheureusement en demence" (unfortunately demented).
MARRIAGE: 2 JAN 1612, Moudon, Vaud, Switzerland
[14419]
Identified as the son of Pierre Dutoit, minister at Moudon, in a document of Jaques Jaquier, notary, 02 jan 1612, where he contracts marriage to Catherine, daughter of Guillaume Frossard. As he is not mentioned in his father's testament of 1639, it is likely that Samuel had no children who survived him. Because of the dates, it seems likely that he is a son of Pierre's first wife.

Date of contract, Jaques Jaqueri, notary at Moudon.
He is mentioned in the 1670 testament of his aunt Marie Dorothée Buttet as her godson. By 01 dec 1685, he had been "for a long time" out of the country; his brothers Philippe, Pierre, and Baltazard reported to the cour de justice of Chavannes (ACV B i l 264) that they had received some letters from him, and they petitioned to secure his share of their inheritance, assisted by Abraham Frossard and by Isaac Dutoit their cousin. His brother Philippe dictated a verbal testament 10 jan 1689, reported in the same register of the cour de justice, including mention of the estate of Samuel, implying that they were not sure at that time if Samuel were still alive. Later that year, two of the brothers asked the court to distribute Samuel's estate, but the brother David did not agree, indicating he had not seen any proof of Samuel's death. Finally, the brothers reported on 09 jun 1689 that they had received a letter from Daniel Papaux of Moudon, dated 15 may 1689 at Ypres, Flanders, reporting that Samuel was indeed dead. The circumstances were not mentioned, and no further information seems to have been recorded.
The surviving registers of Jean Daniel Crausaz, notary at Moudon, have a gap between 1729 and 1732. The records for 1732 begin with a fat sheaf of documents conveying property of Samuel Dutoit of Moudon, now a resident at Vevey, to various buyers at a public sale. Later records of the same notary, e.g. 05 jan 1733, show this Samuel selling his share of a dîme from the estate of his late father Baltazard Dutoit, to Pierre Daniel Veyre.
Not the same as the Samuel Dutoit of Aigle, whose widow Marie daughter of the late Christ Vere (?) of Gessenay appears in 1753. Samuel's marriage is not recorded at Vevey, apparently. The baptisms of his children recorded at Vevey call him either "de Vevey" or "de Moudon, habitant à Vevey". Other than one Jaques Dutoit de Moudon who appears at a family baptism in 1729, there is no indication of possible relationships in Moudon. He must have moved to another parish by 1740, likely Blonay.
His descendants are sometimes noted as "dit Goumaz". It is possible that this line is associated with Vevey, where one son died in 1813. He is identified as a son of David Dutoit at the time of his marriage in 1740. He had a brother Philippe, who appears at a baptism in 1750, as well as a niece Marguerite. In 1729, he was about to depart for Holland (probably as a soldier) and left his brother "Abraham Daniel" (read Abraham David) in charge of his affairs (Philippe Burnand, notary at Moudon).
Samuel and his brother Jaques-Henry appear to be the subjects of a notice in the Gazette de Lausanne, 27 dec 1825:
Le Département de Justice et Police du Canton de Vaud donne avis, que par jugement du 6 décembre 1825, le Tribunal du District de Moudon a décidé qu'une enquête serait faite pour constater l'absence du sieurs Samuel et Jaques-Henry Dutoit, bourgeois de Chavannes, précédemment domiciliés à Chavannes, fils de feu Jean David Dutoit. Ceux qui auraient des nouvelles de l'existence des absens prénommés et du lieu qu'ils habitent, sont invités à en donner connoissance au Tribunal chargé de l'enquête. Ce jugement préparatoire est rendu publique conformément à l'article 900 du Code de Procédure civile. Lausanne le 17 décembre 1825. Secrétaire du Département de Justice et Police,
Also minister at Bulet before 1750, and then at Cornens and Mont-la-Ville (parish of Cuarnens) from 26 jan 1750, where the register gives his full name.
This seems to be the son of Philippe and Estiennaz who survived, so the other Denis Samuel Dutoit recorded in 1693 was either recorded in error, or belongs to someone else. The baptismal entry for the present Samuel Denis Dutoit was added in sequence at the correct chronological position at a later date. It may be that they searched for the correct baptism of Samuel Denis and failed to notice the one for Denis Samuel, and therefore inserted the present entry.
