He was probably still living at the time of his daughter Sible's marriage in 1587, or else she would not have been styled the daughter of Thomas Vessey in the church register. The date of his death and the name of his wife are not known at present.
The notary Jean Jaquier of Moudon recorded proceedings before the probate court ("cour de justice") of Moudon 28 feb 1616 in which Daniel and David Dutoit testify that they had taken in their relative Alexandre Veyre many years ago and provided for him in his old age. Alexandre therefore named them his heirs (citation of donation recorded by Jaques Jayet, notary at Moudon, 15 dec 1615), and the court granted them authority to administer his estate. Alexandre was their great-uncle; he had died about two weeks prior to the presentation before the cour de justice.
It is possible that the Alexandre who died in 1615 is not the same one cited in earlier records. For example, the terrier ACV Fn 347 contains several mentions of children of the late Alexandre Veyre (Pierre, Jehan, and Rodz) about 1592.
She was already dead 09 mar 1556 when her husband Claude du Tey made a "reconnaissance" for her property held by their minor children Claude and Rose du Tey (ACV Fn 89, fol. 499). It is not entirely clear if the child Claude was a male or a female. However, there is no mention of other sons Jean and Jaques, a fact that might be explained in several ways:
Jean and Jaques might already have reached the age of majority and so would have made a "reconnaissance" in their own names—but as such a reconnaissance is not in the terrier Fn 89, we would also have to suppose that:
A division of the estate of the late Anteine Veyre had already been made, such that only Claude and Rose had an interest in the property at Montet that was subject to Anne Crostel, for whom the terrier Fn 89 was complied—no other children, if there were any, had an interest in property subject to Anne Crostel.
Jean and Jaques might be children of some other Claude Dutoit.
