a. Phillip Dewi
Born: Between 1 June 1787 and 30 May 1788 (USC 1860).
Birthplace: Belgium (USC 1860).
Occupation: Farmer (USC 1860).
Residence: Ahnapee township, Kewaunee Co., Wis. (USC 1860).
The 1860 U.S. census is the only source of information for this person. He is listed as living alone in a separate dwelling, but the listing comes immediately after the household of Jean Joseph Dhuy ("Jno. Dewi") in the population schedule. His 142-acre farm also comes after Jean's in the agricultural schedule (see "Agriculture"). The surname is (mis)spelled the same way Jean's is in both schedules.
There is no cemetery record for any such Phillip in Kewaunee County, nor a civil death record in Wisconsin, nor any legal record of this person owning land in Lincoln township.
One is tempted to guess that this is Jean Joseph Dhuy's father, yet his father was Pierre Joseph Dhuy, not Phillip, and he was born in 1775 and died in 1849.
The best guess is that he is actually Jean Joseph Dhuy's father-in-law, Philippe Bouffioux (born 1784), mistaken by the census taker for his father. Philippe immigrated to the U.S. on the Sea Lark in 1856 with Marie Francoise and Jean Joseph.
b. Christian Duíe
Residence: Lincoln township, Kewaunee Co., Wis. (WC 1865).
This person had a total of one male and two females in the household he headed. This name, or its homonyms (Dhuy, Duey, etc.), does not appear anywhere else in records pertaining to Kewaunee County or Lincoln township.
c. Jean Bts. Deuíe
Jean Dehue
Residence: Lincoln township, Kewaunee Co., Wis. (WC 1865).
Undoubtedly one of these heads of households in Lincoln township is Jean Joseph Dhuy, but which? And who is the other? The first had a total of one male and two females in his household; the second had five males and two females. Neither would match Jean Joseph's household at that time, unless the mysterious Phillip from above was the fifth male.
d. Jean Jos. Dhuy
This name appears in Lutomski and Ducat's list of emigrants from Ernage, Belgium to the U.S.A. On the same list are the Jean Dhuy and wife Marie Francoise who head this genealogy. According to the list, Jean Jos. Dhuy was born in Ernage and emigrated in 1856. No U.S. port of entry is given. This is very likely a case of multiple records of the same person misinterpreted as two different persons.
e. Bill H. Dhuey
"Bill H. Dhuey purchased a new team of horses from a farmer in Tonet [Luxemburg township, Kewaunee Co.] last week," according to an item in the Lincoln township column in the Algoma Record-Herald of 1 December 1933.
f. Louisianians
From at least as early as 1810 there have been in Louisiana persons whose surname has been written as D'Hué, D'Huee, Duhy, Dué, Duet, Dhuet, and several other ways, and who have French first names. Some examples:
Name Age Birthplace Source
Duey, Louis U.S. Census 1810
Duhe, Louis 1820 marriage
Duhy, C.W. 20's? U.S. Census 1840
Dhue, Michel 1845 marriage
D'Hué, Jacques 45 Louisiana U.S. Census 1860
D'Hué, Michel 36 " " "
D'huy, F.N. 23 " 1875 Ky. marriage
The spelling variations seem to have settled on "Dhuet" by the turn of the century.
