Sorry, wish I had the same names in my DUTCHER line then maybe I'd be able to trace my GGreat grandfather John back to his father. They came from Dutchess Co. NY to Seneca Co. NY about 1830. His wife was Catherine ______. They had 14 children and almost all were born in Dutchess Co. I estimated John and Catherine were married about 1816 and the first child was born about 1818.

According to information I have found and some supplied by Dorothy and Walter Howley, my great great great grandfather was John Dutcher, Sr, born Abt 1792, married to Catherine Abt 1817. They had 14 children, at least two of whom were born in Dutchess County, NY: Erastus Dutcher Abt 1820 and John Dutcher, Jr, 25 February 1822. I do not know all the names but they include Emeline, Hiram, Rachael, Alexis, Thompson and Theodore.
John, Jr married Freelove Ann Sweet 5 July 1841 in Tyre, NY. They had 11 children, including John Franklin Dutcher. Then on to Clarence John Dutcher, Carl Lewis Dutcher and at last to me.
I hoped your research of Dutchess County might lead to some additional information related to some of my family.

Geneva is not in Seneca County.

This is a second Dutcher family from the Seneca County, NY aread
that I have not been able to connect. Any additions or
corrections would be appreciated:
Descendants of William H Dutcher
WILLIAM H DUTCHER was born September 1836, and died March 12,
1907 (Source: Various Affidavits from Pension Applications,
including Dr. E P McWayne.). He married SARAH JANE TUNISEN

Pension Records.), daughter of JOHN P TUNISEN.

Sophia Troutman.
He was enrolled in Company D of the 148th New York Volunteers,
Infantry, on August 30, 1862. He served as a private. In October
1863 he suffered a loss of voice due to cold and exposure at Camp
Folger, Portsmouth, VA. He was honorably discharged June 7, 1865,
at Petersburg, VA, at age 22. He was
unable to work for about 1 1/2 years thereafter.

Garnett and others.
He is listed as head of household in the Varick, NY census :
1880 William H 41; 1900 William H 63.
In 1881 William applied for a disability pension, but was
initially rejected. He applied again in 1886 with additional
supporting data and did then receive a pension of $4 per month,
eventually increasing to $12 per month. He suffered from aphonia,
rheumatism, asthma, and heart disease, and was declared to have
total disability in 1904.
In the 1895 Business Directory for the town of Varick William had
a 104 acre farm, with 9 horses, 4 dairy cows, 12 head of cattle
and a 6 acre orchard. They were unfortunate and lost their
property, and subsequently lived with their sons.
William died March 12, 1907, at age 70, and was buried in
Romulus, NY.
He was buried in Mt. Green cemetery [provided by Dorothy Howley].
Dorothy Howley indicates his parents may have been Voice and
Asthania.
