Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Dutcher include Dicker, Decker, Deeker, Dyker, Dikkers, Ditcher and others.

First found in Essex where they held a family seat from very early times.

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Dutcher were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records:

Dutcher Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century

Dutcher Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • J D Dutcher, who landed in San Francisco, Cal in 1850
