Roy Jay Dutcher


To answer your question, I have not gotten very far into my family tree. I actually just got started and unfortunately I don't have much free time to spend on it.

The farthest I have gotten is:

Frank Dutcher, born May 29th, 1848 in Wisconsin, died February 6th, 1905 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

His wife was Margaret Jane Junk, born May 31st, 1847, died in Gables, Michigan.

They had 3 children, Roy Jay, Fred L., and Edna Lucretia. Roy Jay Dutcher is my Grandfather.

Roy Jay Dutcher married Wilma Lucinda Strahl, they had four children, Frank Lee, (my father), Melvin, Ruth and Margaret (Almeda).

Frank Lee Dutcher married Margaret Sotak, and had one son ME!

If you have any information on any of the above, I would be most grateful for any help.

Good luck with your search.

I have traced my Dutcher line back to my Great Grandfather Frank Dutcher. I Know he married a Margaret Jane Junk and they have a marriage record in Branch County, Michigan dated 29 November, 1873. I don NOT have a copy of that record, and I have no record before that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Roy Dutcher


My G Grandfather was Frank DUTCHER b 1848 Walworth County, Wisconsin.  His death certificate lists his parents as Jeremiah DUTCHER and Lucretia NICHOLS.
I'm looking for information about my G G Grandfather Jeremiah DUTCHER.

Jeremiah DUTCHER son of Levi Dutcher, b. 2 June 1782, m. Elizabeth Hutchinson, fits for location and dates, however,  this Jeremiah shows up as marring Nancy Ann Duddleson, Crawford Co, Ohio, 1833. 

On Sharon's DUTCHER page,  there is a Jeremiah DUTCHER in the Ohio section of Federal Land Records 3 times:  1852/07/01 for 39.51 ac,  1858/08/10 for 80 ac and 1848/03/01 for 76.79 ac.  

On Sharon's DUTCHER page again,  this time in the Wisconsin section of Federal Land Records,  Jeremiah DUTCHER is listed 2 times:  8/10/1858 in Jackson County and 3/1/1848 in Walworth, County.  Note,  the dates are the same as the dates posted in 2 of the 3 Ohio postings and Walworth County is the birthplace of my G Grandfather Frank DUTCHER.  In other postings of Federal Land Records, they are listed as Jeremiah M., Jeremiah B. or just Jeremiah DUTCHER. 

Is this all the same Jeremiah DUTCHER or were there two Jeremiah's in the same area at the same time?  Did Jeremiah and Nancy Ann Doddleson divorce?  Nancy DUTCHER is listed in the Ohio 1880 census in Vinton, Jackson County.  I have not found any other records.  Can anyone help?

Thank you,

Roy Dutcher
