Appears in a document dated 26 jan 1725 (François Gilliand, notary at Moudon) relating to a question of inheritance from the Monnerat family. Unfortunately, his parents are not identified by name, but no other connection between the Dutoit and Monnerat families has surfaced. This document is the first indication that any of the children of Jaques and Marguerite survived. Apparently the same person who married Anne Mottaz, but we would like to locate evidence to confirm this.

Susanne Gabrielle DANCE (dates unknown)
- MARRIAGE: 9 JUN 1762, Corcelles-près-Payerne, Vaud,Switzerland
He was minister at Lausanne at about the same time as the famous Jean Philippe Dutoit-Membrini. He was minister of the French church at Bern from at least 1752. He seems to be associated somehow with Samuel Chastellanat, minister at Mézières. 1752 and 1762: second minister at Bern; 1766: first minister at Bern. Marriage record of his son says that was also pasteur at "Meiry" (Meyriez). Registers at Bern show him as first minister 07 may 1765, with last baptismal entry there 12 jan 1775. He was minister at Meyriez 03 jan 1775, and presumably served there almost until the next minister Henri Dessonnaz was installed, 12 apr 1790. Henri Vuilleumier (Histoire de l'Eglise Réformée du Pays de Vaud, 1933) notes that he died in 1790 at the "cure de repos de Meyriez" (not correct, since we found his burial record at Lausanne), and that he was very probably the author of the Ordonnances éclessiastiques pour le Pays de Vaud that were published anonymously in Bern in 1773 ("De l'Imprimerie de Leurs Excellences"—a copy from Oxford University has been digitized on GoogleBooks).
Discovering his parentage has been difficult. The record of his first marriage at Lausanne gives no details of his background. However, his second marriage is recorded at Corcelles-près-Payerne, with interesting details:
"Jean Philippe Dutoit ministre et bourgeois de Moudon, diacre de l'église française de Berne, et Susanne Gabrielle Dance de Morges, ont, ensuite d'un brevet de 17 mai 1762, fait bénir leur mariage dans ma paroisse, de mon aveu, par Msr. le ministre Bourgeois, pasteur de Mesieres, son cousin."
The minister Bourgeois turns out to be Daniel Bourgeois baptised 21 dec 1717, son of Daniel Philippe Bourgeois and Marguerite Guidroz of Moudon. Daniel married Esther Marguerite Arthaud, daughter of Jean Louis Arthaud, and the latter was married to a sister of Marie Lions or Lyons, the same Marie who was the wife of Louis Jacob Dutoit. The Arthaud family appears more than once at baptisms with Jean Philippe Dutoit. For example, at the baptism of Gabriel Jérémie Dutoit 24 sep 1749, the sponsors are Gabriel Roy, pastor at Perroy, with his wife Pauline Arthaud, and Jérémie Arthaud (b. 1675, son of Paul Arthaud and Marie Crespin), with his wife Antoinette Sylvestre. It appears all of these families are well represented among the clergy of Vaud. Finally, once we know that Jean Philippe is associated with the Lions and Arthaud families, a baptism from 1735 now makes sense:
22 oct 1735: Jaques Philippe Paul son of Pierre Philippe Dutoit and Elizabeth Meistre, sponsors Jaques Dutoit, chamoiseur; Jean Philippe Dutoit, estudiant; Pauline Arthaud; Marie Bedard.
Pierre Philippe is the son of Louis Jacob Dutoit and Marie Lions, Jaques Dutoit is probably Pierre Philippe's brother baptised as Jacob and known to be a chamoiseur, Jean Philippe the student (presumably at the Académie de Lausanne, the nearest institution of higher learning that would warrant the epithet "estudiant" in the eyes of the Eglise Réformée) is now clearly identified as Pierre Philippe's brother, and not Jean Philippe Dutoit-Membrini, Pauline Arthaud is evidently the same woman who became the wife of the minister Gabriel Roy, and Marie Bédard must be the daughter of Susanne Lions and Daniel Bédard.
Our deductions about the parentage of Jean Philippe are confirmed in his lettre de bourgeoisie at Lausanne (AVL D 441/1 fol. 222): "Spectable Jean Philippe DuToit agé de 32 ans ministre du St. Evangile dans cette ville, fils du Sieur Louis Jacob Du Toit bourgeois de Moudon et de Marie Lions sa femme".
Documents recorded by Isaac Samuel Denis DuBrit, notary at Moudon, tell us which Jean Philippe is which: 07 mar 1744, Jean Philippe Dutoit, proposant (theology student) and his brother Pierre Philippe Dutoit, heirs of the late Jacob Dutoit, officier ballival de Moudon, and their unnamed coheirs, sold property to Eg. Jaques David Burnand, curial de Moudon and Chatelain de Siens. The property was a garden in Moudon. The witnesses were Monsieur le Proposant Jean Philippe Dutoit le Cadet, and the minister André Dutoit. (Thus, we know that the elder of the two Jean Philippe Dutoits was the son of Jacob, and the other Jean Philippe's parentage is well known.)
Among the mentions of Jean Philippe's descendants at Lausanne and elsewhere, at least one claimed citizenship at Vevey as well as Moudon and Lausanne. The parentage we have discovered does not suggest any connection to Vevey, but it is possible that Jean Philippe or his sons may have acquired bourgeois status there after leaving Lausanne.

Jean Philippe DUTOIT (ID #I2406)
(male)
- TITLES/'DIT' NAMES/OCCUPATIONS: minister, professor, pietist
- BIRTH: 27 SEP 1721, Moudon, Vaud, Switzerland
[999]
- BAPTISM: 5 OCT 1721, Moudon, Vaud, Switzerland
- DEATH: 21 JAN 1793, Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
- BURIAL: 24 JAN 1793, Cimetière de St. Laurent, Lausanne
Father: Pierre (Pierre Philippe) DUTOIT (bp. 9 MAY 1671, d. 1745)
Mother: Susanne MEMBRINI (bp. 8 SEP 1693, d. 7 DEC 1748)
Subdeacon at Lausanne for only a few weeks in 1754, the only official position he ever held. He was the famous mystic and author. He never married. His is noted as "Dutoit-Membrini" presumably to distinguish him from another subdeacon at Lausanne in the 1750's, also named Jean Philippe Dutoit (the latter identified as Dutoit-Aguet).
His baptism recorded at Moudon 05 oct 1721 says "Jean Philippe fils de Philippe Dutoit et Susanne Membrini de Vevey", and includes, with the typical ambiguity of these records, the name of the sponsor, "Marie grandmere dudit Philippe". Was Marie the grandmother of Jean Philippe, or of his father? This question is of some importance, for it helps to confirm that we have correctly understood the ancestry of Jean Philippe Dutoit-Membrini. The man who married Susanne Membrini in 1717 is called Philippe in the marriage record, and is identified as a son of Pierre. From this information, it is already clear that "Philippe" cannot be the son of Daniel Dutoit and Jaquaz Trolliet, who had a son Pierre Philippe at the Académie of Lausanne in 1692 (Isaac Dutoit, notary at Moudon, ACV DL 37/4, 09 jan 1692). If, on the other hand, Philippe were the son of Pierre Dutoit and Marie Frossard, then Marie Frossard, who lived until 1729, would be the grandmother of Jean Philippe. In addition, the grandmother of "Philippe" was Marie Burnand, but it is very doubtful that she would still have been alive in 1721, and even less likely that she would be listed as "marraine".
In Auguste Verdeil's Histoire du Canton de Vaud (1849-1852), we find the following interesting account of the activities of "Dutoit-Membrini":
Un autre régent du collége [i. e., l'Académie de Lausanne], Mr. [Jean François] Ballif de Lucens, se fit une réputation, non-seulement par son savoir, mais aussi par les opinions mystiques qu'il partageait avec son ami, Mr. Dutoit-Membrini, de Moudon.
Ces deux ecclésiastiques appartenaient à l'une de ces sectes qui se formèrent pendant le XVIIIme. siècle par réaction contre l'incrédulité, et contre les encyclopédistes. Ces sectes, les Théosophes, les Illuminés, les Ames-Intérieures, admettaient dans le christianisme des doctrines mystiques et des communications avec la divinité, surtout par la méditation. MM. Dutoit-Membrini et Ballif appartenaient auxAmes-Intérieures, disciples de la "Sainte Madame Guyon," comme les adeptes désignaient cette femme célèbre. Mr. Dutoit, "Directeur des Ames-Intérieurs" du Pays de Vaud, recevait les ordres du "Grand-Maître," le comte de Fleischbein, résidant à Pyrmont. Il fut dénoncé à LL. EE. qui demandèrent des renseignements à l'académie de Lausanne, sur MM. Dutoit et Ballif, et la secte dont ils étaient les chefs. "Ces sectaires, répondait l'académie, le 11 janvier 1769, font profession d'admettre les idées mystiques de Mr. Fénélon et de Madame Guyon, sur l'amour divin, et posent des principes sur l'union intime de l'âme fidèle avec Dieu, sur l'union des âmes pures entr'elles, et sur la voix de l'esprit, parlant distinctivement aux coeurs régénérés... Ceux que Mr. a séduit par ses doctrines ne se distinguèrent que par une vie plus retirée et plus austère, par plus d'éloignement pour les plaisirs, par une sorte de dédain pour les autres hommes qu'ils traîtent de profanes; par beaucoup de défiance à l'égard des ecclésiastiques.' L'académie termine sa lettre en observant que toute persécution doit être évitée, 'car la persécution donnerait plus de relief et de célébrité à une secte obscure, et irriterait le feu du fanatisme au lieu de l'éteindre.' LL. EE. ayant appris que Mr. Dutoit levait une dîme sur les adeptes de sa secte, firent saisir ses papiers et ses livres, parmis lesquels on trouva une lettre adressée par le comte de Fleischbein aux 'Intérieurs', leur ordonnant de payer à 'Théophile', personnage mystérieux, la dixième partie de leurs revenus, 'quelle qu'en soit la source: labour de la terre, gain de commerce, de manoeuvre, de métiers, de gage; revenus des magistrats, des gens de guerer, des pères de famille, des gens d'études ou gens de lettres, des hommes d'Eglise, des domestiques: tous doivent donner le dixième de leurs rentes, gains, gages, etc.; même le pauvre doit donner la dixième partie des aumônes qu'il reçoit, et l'enfant, le dixième du petit argent que ses parents lui donnent. Cette dîme doit être versée dans la caisse du directeur pour la gloire de Dieu, etc... Mais il importe que le directeur soit exempt d'écrire ce qu'il prend dans la caisse et de rendre aucun compte, car chaque Ame-Intérieur doit avoir l'oeil simple à cet égard, comme à tout autre, etc."
Cependant, Mr. Dutoit, invité à discontinuer la levée de la "Dîme de Théophile," ne fut point persécuté. Sa secte, toujours entourée de mystère, existe encore; elle étend au loin ses ramifications, et après l'expulsion des baillis de Berne en 1798, elle donna à la République Helvétique des magistrats intègres et dévoués, et sut traverser paisiblement nos dissentions politiques et religieuses. — Mr. Ballif, non-seulement fut conservé par LL. EE. dans ses fonctions, mais savant helléniste, il fut même appelé à une chaire de grec dans l'académie. Il est l'auteur d'un ouvrage intitulé: La religion chrétienne, Instruction pour connaître les principes du christianisme, imprimé en 1808, vingt ans après sa mort. "On peut reprocher à cet ouvrage une forte teinte de mysticisme, dit le doyen Bridel, cependant, il est marqué au bon coin."
Mr. Dutoit-Membrini publia plusieurs ouvrages, entre autres: sept volumes de Sermons, imprimés à Lyon; La philosophie divine, par Kaleph-Ben-Nathan, 3 vol. in-8o. Le cinquième volume des Lettres de Madame Guyon, Londres, 1768, mais imprimé à Lyon, est dû à Mr. Dutoit, auteur lui-même des Anecdotes et réflexions sur les lettres de Madame Guyon. Ces anecdotes et réflections comprennent les cent-soixante premières pages de ce cinquième volume.
