Captain Wiiliam Dutcher and the Dutcher Family,

Among- the early if not original settlers on this Manor, and prominent among them, was the family of Baren.t Duytser, or Duyster, or Duyscher, as it is variously spelled in the Church records, while on the first page of the old Manor book it is plainly written Barrant Duyser, on which occasion, the first Tuesday in April, 1742, it is noted that he was chosen as one of the Fence Viewers. Barent Duytser's ear mark for his stock is recorded in Liber E, in the county records at •White Plains, date of April 2, 1717. The old records there also show that he vTas Collector for this Manor for the year 1719. An old tax roll for 1732, shows him to have been assessed at £31, which was a larger amount than the most of his neighbors. His name there appears as follows : Barent Duijser. In the description of the laying out of the old Post Road, present Broadway, in 1723, his name appears as Barrent Duytchers, so various seems to have been the orthography of the name as interpreted by those who had occasion to put it in writing.
