Another early Thomas Dutoit of Moudon, son of Nicod, married in 1581. However, no further mention of him has been identified. Of the children of "Thomas Dutoit" baptised before 1600 at Moudon, only the two Jeannes and a Françoise are not positively identified as children of Thomas and Maire. An act of partage after his death specifies that he was a notary, though none of his registers have survived. He and his brother Jaques are named as tuteurs of Jeanne de Boloz (register of Clement Butty, vicinity of Vevey, DS 106/113, 21 apr 1593). There are many references to him in records of this notary 1591-1593, buying and selling vineyards near Vevey. By 10 dec 1593, he has died, and his heirs and those of the late Jaques Dutoit (represented by his son Gaspard) begin to deal with the property they now own jointly. These transactions demonstrate that we are dealing with Thomas the uncle of Gaspard, rather than Thomas the son of Nicod or Thomas son of Jean. However, Pierre son of the late Thomas, cousin of Pierre son of the late Louis, appears in the records of Clement Butty in 1596, demonstrating that we have to consider Thomas son of the late Jean by that date.
Thomas is one of the grandfathers of Daniel François Veyre, who is cited as a cousin of Jean Dutoit, conseiller, who married Marie Fudri after the death of her first husband, Gabriel Dutoit. If the relationship is through the Dutoit family, Jean the conseiller, known to be the son of one of the Jean Dutoit's, would also have to be a grandson of Thomas Dutoit, and Thomas would have to have an unrecorded son Jean. It is just possible that one of the two daughters named Jeanne was actually the Jean in question, either misread, or entered in the baptismal register incorrectly. However, we would expect to find some mention of this fact in the documents relating to the estate of Thomas. Alternatively, the relationship might be through the Veyre family, but that seems even less likely, based on the information now available.
A typical document concerning the heirs was recorded by notary Jaques Richard 19 feb 1602. Gaspard and Jaques, sons of the late Jaques Duthey, are dividing property with Discret Anthoine Duthey, son of the late Thomas Duthey, notary. In this and similar transactions, the heirs of Jaques and Thomas, who were brothers, are not listed separated, but are noted in the text as unnamed others for whom the principals are acting. There are several marriage contracts for the daughters of Thomas, but so far no mention of the other heirs.
Noted in record of baptism of his posthumous daughter Bastienne, 12 mar 1594.

A document of 20 may 1652, B. Girardet, notary, has Abraham and Jean Jaques, his brothers, acting for the heirs of Thomas in a settlement of the estate of the late Anthoine Dutoit. Another document of 16 nov 1661, P. Gavin, notary, mentions one Jaques Tavernay of Chardonnay, beaupère (evidently father-in-law) of the children of the late Thomas. There does not seem to be any mention of his descendants after the 1660's.

This is the "other" Thomas Dutoit, who by elimination must be the brother of Esther Dutoit, second wife of Isaac Margueron. He first appears at the baptism of Thomas son of Abraham Dutoit in 1651, and with his wife Estiennaz Portaz in 1659. He appears at the marriage contract of his sister Esther in 1667, where he is identified as son of the late Jean Dutoit, and Chatellain de Siens (=Syens). There is some suggestion that his activities took him to Oron, so it is possible additional information might be found in the notarial records of the districts surrounding Moudon.
He is also the only Thomas who could be the Grand Voyer, overseer of highways, who delegated some of his responsibilities for outlying districts (Ropraz, Ogens), due to "infirmités de son age", in 1695 (Isaac Dutoit, notary, ACV classification DL 69, this register formerly and, we believe, incorrectly attributed to de Palézieux dit Falconnet). Paul Bissegger, in a review of the history of civil engineering under the Bernese occupation, has summarized the information available about the office of Grand Voyer, and cites a passage in which Thomas is said to have held this office since about 1671. He is still cited as Grand Voyer as late as 1695, e.g., in the marriage contract of his daughter Susanne Marie.
We have been able to identify three of his children as parents of children in the next generation at Lausanne. In particular, the Antoine Dutoit who appears at Lausanne about 1690 as a notary and is later cited as "Grand Voyeur" (1701 and later) is certainly his son.
Also in 1709, we find Jean Jaques Dutoit with his wife Esther Chambut involved in the settlement of the estate of the Grand Voyer Thomas Dutoit, which suggests that he might have died within the last year or two. However, the connection of Jean Jaques Dutoit to this estate (possibly through his wife) has not been worked out. It is possible that Jean Jaques, whose parentage is unknown, is actually a child of Thomas, born during the period 1665-1671 when no baptisms for Thomas and Esther are recorded at Moudon. Perhaps they were living elsewhere during that period.
A document recorded by Eg. Isaac Dutoit 23 oct 1689 involves a debt of "Tomas Dutoit voyeur au Balliage de Moudon" to "Sr. Jaques Joran de Chenaux (?) son beaufrere" in cancellation of another debt recorded by Eg. Abraham Faucheres, 03 feb 1675. Joran was the wife of Jaqueline Portaz, sister of the wife of Thomas Dutoit.
Recorded in the "deacon's register", p. 54, parents Jean Dutoit "le guererier" and Catherine Bosson (?), witnesses Thomas son of the banderet Anthoine Dutoit, and Mme. la banderette.

Many references to his dealings at Chavannes, frequently on behalf of his mother or other relatives.
For example,
Jaques Crausaz, notary at Moudon, 19 jul 1680:

Abraham is the only child that can be attributed to him with certainty. The name of the mother is not given for the baptism of Louise Catherine. It is likely that we are missing the names of several children of this couple.

Apparently, this is the Ursule Esther Dutoit, daughter of Daniel Dutoit of Neyruz and Ursule Pache, who was married to Jean Pierre Bovey of Corevon by the time a partage was recorded among the heirs of Daniel (Isaac Samuel Denis DuBrit, notary at Moudon, 23 jun 1749).

Secondary sources give his birth date as 1830 and call him Adrien Victor Dutoit. Sponsors at his baptism were his grandfather Victor Gabriel Dutoit, his grandmother Sophie Françoise Dutoit, and Adrienne Elizabeth Bize née Fehr, probably a sister of his mother.

Several records in the registers of Michel Frossard, notary at Moudon, identify Vuillerme or Vuilleme as the father of Guidano and Nicoleto Detecto, and detail some of the other family relationships. There is no indication of a direct relationship to any of the Dutoits at Vuarmarens, nor any explicit evidence of a relationship with the other lineage at Chavannes, involving Jacob Dutoit and his siblings.
Nevertheless, a dispute involving holders of the "Disme" called Dutoit, a feudal tax at Chavannes-sur-Moudon, was heard before the Cour de Justice of Chavannes 22 aug 1690, in which Jaques, Isaac, and Jacob Dutoit, sons of Abraham Dutoit (and his wife Pernon Veyre), arguing that they were the direct descendants of Jaques, Jean, and Rolet Duthey, parties to an agreement with Noble Humbert Cerjat dated 21 jul 1449 (signed by notary Jean Crepy) , asked for changes to the terms of the "disme", such that it would henceforth apply to additional crops, such as peas, beans, millet, and hemp, for the benefit of the holders of the "disme". While the other holders of the "disme" said that the application of the "disme" to such crops had not been done nor even mentioned over the previous two centuries, an accommodation was made.
Now, the brothers who appeared in 1690 are direct descendants of Vuilleme Dutoit, who must have been alive when the agreement was signed in 1449. Unless the parties of 1449 were acting on behalf of other relatives not identified in the proceedings of 1690, Vuilleme would be the son of one of these three. Moreover, their names match those of three of the four brothers Jacob, Rolet, Jean, and (probably) Pierre who appear in several other records from the mid-15th Century. Thus, the earliest known document concerning the "disme" at Chavannes seems to tie all of the Dutoit families together, under a common ancestor who lived at the beginning of the 15th Century. The document in question does not seem to be mentioned in the inventories of the archives of Chavannes or Moudon posted on the internet site of the Archives Cantonales Vaudoises. It may, however, be part of a bundle or dossier that was not listed in detail. It would be helpful to our understanding of the relationships of the Dutoit and other families of Chavannes it this document could be located.
Evidently the French version of the surname is du Truict (as given by Aymé Chuard, notary, in 1539), and in Latin, de Torculari or Torcularius (the latter found once in a Latin document of Pierre Chuard, 1518). Now, documents as early as 1518 appear to refer to Aymon/Aymo/Aymé as already deceased. Finally, we found a testament recorded in a register of Pierre Chuard, notary at Payerne, between documents from the 1550's, with the date 16 jul 1513. Evidently the document as recorded is a later copy prepared for the heirs. The copy indicates the original was prepared by François Ruerat, and later his "protocol" (registers) were passed on to Pierre Gachet, then the present copy was recorded by Pierre Chuard. Finally, in the margin, this copy notes that a further copy was prepared by Benoit du Moulin.
In any case, the long version of the will mentions Stephano de Torculari, father of Aymo ("patri meo", clearly written), still living, and Aymo's brothers ("fratribus meis") Johannis and Denis (uncertain reading), in addition to Aymo's three daughters, their husbands, and Aymo's late wife Peronete. There are vineyards near Epesses (now parish of Cully) and Grandvaux, acquired in the past from Mermet Maillardoz, but no indication of citizenship or place of residence other than that the document is under the seal of the city of Payerne. Another version of this will, evidently a paraphrase, but indicating that the testament was nuncupative (dictated to witnesses, rather than prepared by a notary and signed by de Torculari), was recorded by Pierre Ruchat, with the same date, but identifying Stephano as the brother (clearly written) rather than the father of Aymo. This version seems significantly condensed and is very messy, written in the third person. The first version is in the first person and has no obvious ellipses, so we believe it to be authoritative. However, the text is illogical in the first version with respect to the provisions about Stephano and Johannes. It says, in effect, "I bequeath to Stephano de Torculari my father all right and title that I hold undivided with him and Johannes my brothers". Since "fratribus meis" is the dative plural, we should expect to find the names of at least two brothers of Aymon. If the writing were quite bad, we might read "do Deni et Johanne fratribus meis" (a reading that raises other questions), but we have come to believe it is more likely to read "eodem et Johanne fratribus meis", implying that Stephano should have been called "fratri meo" instead of "patri meo". So far, this is entirely an academic question, because no further mention has been found of Stephano.
It is undoubtedly significant that the de Torculari brothers held property in common. The property in question would have been inherited from one or both of their parents, but unfortunately, the testament does not indicate where this property was located. It will be necessary to study the "terriers" from the early 16th Century in hopes of locating a property held jointly by the brothers. Very often, the terriers are indexed, and it would make sense to begin with the area around Lutry and Cully.
The derivation of du Truict from de Torculari is given in a newspaper account of the surnames of Neuchatel and Vaud: "Dutruy — Comme sa variante de La Côte vaudoise Dutruit, vient du patois trui, trai, troi, pressoir de vendange, troillî, presser (latin torculum, vieux français truel, treuil). Autres formes: Troillet (VS), sa variante vaudoise Trolliet et une forme américanisée Troillett; Troillard, Trouillet, Trouilhet, Trouillat, Trouiller, Trouillier, Trouillard (aussi menteur ou trompeur en vieux français), Treuillaud, Truillot, Troyon (lieu-dit en Champagne), Truyol, Truel (lieu-dit en Auvergne), Dutruel. (21.7.96)" One might also entertain the idea, at least in this case, that the name is equivalent to Torggler and similar from German-speaking areas such as St. Gall. About 1690, also, we note at Wittenberg the scholar Stephanus Torcularius, or in German, Toerckeler.
It is probably significant that the du Truict variant is said to come from La Côte, the wine-growing area around Cully. However, there are other possibilities for the original version of the surname. For example, there are mentions in historical records of various people whose name is rendered in Latin as de Torculari: Nikolaus von Pressorio or du Pressoise, born at Pressoire-près-Boutigny, France, a theologian who died in 1302; a Stephano Torgeler in the 15th Century; a Mermet de Torculari from Versegères, Valais, mentioned in 1354 at the Abbey of St. Maurice. Further, historians from Fribourg occasionally render the name Dutruel or Dutrueil, depending on which form of the word for winepress that they recognize in the local patois.
The will of Aimé de Torculari also mentions Jaqueta, "pupilla" (ward) of Aimé. This would seem to be the same Jaqueta who married Claude Berthod, and in which connection all the other children of Pierre Gachet are listed as her brothers and sisters. The usage of "pupilla" is thus a problem. It would ordinarily indicate a foster child, but as Pierre Gachet was evidently still alive when Aimé dictated his will, there is clearly something else going on.
The marriage contracts of two of Aimé's daughters are preserved in the records of Pierre Ruerat, notary at Payerne, as well as his wife's testament, revealing that she had four children by her first husband, Bérard Faulcon of Fribourg. In records of Pierre Moron, fils, at least two documents refer to Aimé as "rector et gobernator ville paterniaci".
However, records of Pierre Moron père, notary at Payerne, include a record of a debt owed to Aymon de Torculari, notary and bourgeois de Fribourg, 28 apr 1485. Thus, he resided in Fribourg before he came to Payerne. The same notary mentions a Johannes de Torculari, clerk and citizen of Payerne, 09 oct 1470, but we have found no other mention of this person. Another record places Aymon de Torculari in Payerne is an account of the meeting of the Etats de Vaud held at Moudon on 05 feb 1495 (1494 Old Style). The account of this meeting in the Manual de Conseil of Lausanne (AVL A/183, not yet examined) notes that Pierre Crostel and Aymon Torcularis, syndics, were the representatives from Payerne.
Correspondence in the Falck family, preserved in a copy made about 1545 by a de Praroman descendant, indicates that Aimé was believed to have mistreated his wife. The letter is dated on the eve of the feast of St. Matthew, 1503, from Payerne, by Hans Falk to his brother Peter at Fribourg.
"Getrüwer bruoder! Vil glücks und guoter gesundheit wünsch ich dir us grund mins herzens etc.
"Als ich zuo diser stund gan Betterlingen [Peterlingen, Payerne] bin kommen, hab ich vernommen, wie die onmächtig hündisch wüeterich man mit unserer lieben muoter so unchristenlich geläbt hab, si übel geschlagen, das davon nichts zuo sagen si, darzuo sin tochter Jaque geschent, das si us dem hut nit bedarf kommen und underschuld. Söllichs alles han ich mit im geredt: ob er anderst nit mit unser muoter wöllte läben, wil wäger were, das wir si bi uns annemen, darzuo seche er uns nit dafür an, das wir sölichs von im liden wölten, sunderst erzöugen, was lüt wir dan sind. Harumb lieber bruoder wellest im darvon schriben und im erzöugen, das wir ouch lüt sind uf die meinung, ob dir und mir söllichs zinstag gester vergangen uns söllichs zuo Friburg gesagt si, wil er si nit gern haben, das er si uns lasse, wöllen wir si gern haben. Dan wir je söllichs nit liden wöllen, von im in iren alten tagen geschlagen werden.
"Datum ilends, Vigilia Mathey, anno 1503.
"Din getrüwer bruoder Hans Falk."
The wording of the passage about Jaque is not clearly understood, but we give a tentative translation:
"Faithful brother! I wish you good fortune and health from the bottom of my heart, etc.
"When I arrived this time in Payerne, I heard how that violent, tyrannical, brutish man has behaved so unchristianly towards our dear mother, has so beaten her, that there is nothing more to be said, but that his daughter Jaque is so ashamed that she will not leave the house, and I don't blame her. I discussed all of this with him: If he cannot behave otherwise towards our mother, it would be much better if we brought her to live with us, for he should not think that we would tolerate this from him, rather we will show him what sort of people we are. Therefore, dear brother, please write to him about this and show him, that we are of the same opinion, as you and I heard the talk about this last Tuesday in Fribourg, if he will not treat her better, then will he allow us to take her in. And further that we will not allow it, that she should be beaten by him in her old age.
"Dated in haste, the eve of St. Matthew's, 1503.
"Your faithful brother Hans Falk."
He is cited in an act of 02 dec 1482 with his wife Perronete Bovet as "rector scolarum Gallicorum Friburgi", evidently signifying that he was in charge of the French-speaking students at Fribourg. This is the earliest mention of him yet discovered, and appears to place his marriage before 1482 (Alexandre Daguet, "Appendice à la biographie de Georges de Rive deuxième gouverneur de Neuchâtel", in Musée Neuchâtelois 19:175-176, 1882). We had already inferred a slightly earlier date of marriage because of the apparent ages of his daughters. Holding such a position implies that he was educated at a university in a French-speaking city such as Paris or perhaps in a bilingual area such as Basel, Strasbourg, etc. Further, the most plausible conclusion seems to be that he was not originally from Fribourg, but relocated there to accept the position of rector at a local school. By 1482, he would have been a very minor figure in Fribourg, because the linguistic politics of the time were just then changing from French to German. He must have been the very last "rector scolarum Gallicorum", and would have found himself unemployed if he had stayed much longer in Fribourg. No doubt his well-timed marriage to the widow of Bérard Falck would have helped him secure his new position at Payerne, but he would also have needed academic credentials. For this position as well, he must have been educated at a university. Several accounts of the history of education in Fribourg during the 15th Century have been published, but they do not mention Aimé.
Another item in the de Praroman collection is a letter from the Jean Aimé de Bonivard, abbé de Pignerol and acting on behalf of the Duke of Savoie, addressed to the "Commissayre" of Payerne, step-father of Peter Falck (October 10, year not given, but from the context it must be 1514). Falck was then on a mission to Rome concerning a dispute that involved Bonivard's interests. In the discussion of this letter, historian Alexandre Daguet says he is tempted to translate the name de Torculari into French as de Treytorrens ("nous serions tenté de traduire en français..."), on the grounds that the same manuscript collection contains a letter from Guillaume de Treytorrens of Payerne to his "cousin" Peter Falck. We believe this erroneous suggestion of Daguet must be the source of the same perverse reading of the name in later accounts based on the same correspondence.
The title of Commissaire at this period frequently refers to a person appointed to compile a "terrier", a record of the ownership of property that was subject to a particular feudal superior, in this case probably either the city or the abbey of Payerne. One of the requirements for such a "commissaire" seems to have been that he would not have a conflict of interest by having to inventory some of his own property. In the "terriers", we often find a few words about the commissaire himself, such as his origins, and sometimes the name of his father. With this in mind, we need to check the inventories of the terriers held by the Archives Cantanales Vaudoises and perhaps also by the communal archives of Payerne. Commissaires seem also to have been granted citizenship in the city in which they were working, perhaps also a subject of record that might be sought in the archives of Payerne.
