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 (uniquely, we have his exact date of death, recorded in the baptism of his posthumous daughter Bastienne), 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.
He made two "reconnaissances" in the terriers ACV Fn 347 fol. 158v and Fn 349 fol. 492v on 12 oct 1593, acting also for his nephews Gaspard and Jaques, sons of the late Jaques Dutoit. These reconnaissances make Thomas a son of Maurice son of Claude, and indicate that Maurice also had a brother Claude.
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.
Something of his circumstances toward the end of his life is revealed in the following document:
[ACV P Cerjat (I) C 795]
Il est ainsi que le Sr. Tomas Dutoit bourgeois de Moudon se voyant par la grace de Dieu dans un age fort avancé, cependant si infierme de son corps qu'il n'est plus dans les forces d'agir pour subvenir à ses besoins et de sa famille, ce que l'a obligé de se resoudre à aller joindre Egrege Anthoyne Dutoit son fils Intendant Commis par LL. EE.pour les grands chemins du pays de Vaud, demeurant à Ouchy, afin d'etre soutenu dudict Sr. son fils le reste de ses jours, mais comme la charge de debts est cause qu'il ne peut vivre tranquilement, se voyant des interests entassés en nombre de six, pour lesquels une partie ont déjà suyvi subhastations jusques à revestiture de son clos de dernier le Bourg soit de la Merine avec ce qui est provenu des Grosnicod enclos jardin et tout ce qui en est provenu, et se voyant encor menacé pour d'autre dubs à la Seigneurie de Lausanne, ce qui l'accablé en frais et en chagrins. Ces considerations ont porté ledit père de revestire ledit Sr. son fils d'un procure charge et plain pouvoir de chercher à emprunter, engager ou vendre ledit clos afin de prevenir à plus grand deperissement, luy donnant et conferant pour cet effect par cestes toute charge plain et absolu pouvoir pour disposer dudit clos selon sa prudence volonté et discretion comme ayant en ce fait également et commun interest avec ledit Sr. son père, avec promesse que ledit père fait par sa bonne foy et soubs l'expresse obligation de tous ses biens d'agreer à perpetuité tout ce que par sondit fils sera convenu promis et contracté à payne de Damps, fait selon toutes les clausules requises le 24e febrier 1701 en presence des honnorables Denis Bezençon peageur et bourgeois dudit Moudon et la souscription dudit Sieur Dutoit avec moy notaire le 24e febrier 1701.
(signé) : Thomas Dutoict, Denys Besenson temoins, Is. Dutoict (avec paraphe).
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.
