Notes:

Kathy Avery of Eliot is probably a descendant of Willie. In 1923. Willie was of 677 Central Ave, Dover. On his WW I registration, John "Willie" claimed that he was a naturalized citizen, that he was a mason tender who lived on Market St in Portsmouth. Obviously Harry's first two children were born on Prince Edward Island where his wife was from.

During the 1940 Census, John W. Derochemont was enumerated living in Newington where he was a renter. He was 42 years old and was living with his wife Elspy (35), and their 8 children: Jacquilyn (14), John W. (13), Elinore M. (11), Lucinda A. (9), Norman H. (8), Marilyn A. (8), Elspy (6), and Mary P. (5). His uncle Jospeh A. DeRochemont (age 61) was also living with them. John W. indicated he had completed 8 years of school. Elspy had completed high school (12 years of schooling). They reported having been living in the same house in 1935. John was working as a "helper" mason.

John's father - Harry - was living alone in the house next door. On the other side, Henriette DeRochemont (age 74) was living with her two sisters Marie (61) and Sara (69). Percy DeRochemont and his family (a wife and 3 teen children) were living a few doors away. John W. was the only renter; all his other family who were neighbors owned their homes.

In 1953, in the 31 Aug edition of the Portsmouth Herald, in his uncle Frederick William's funeral notice, "J. William" deRochemont is listed as a pallbearer.

John Willie's death certificate notes that he is divorced. This must have happened after 1940 as Elspy was still living with him at that point.

John married SHOREY, Elspy Mae on 8 Oct 1922 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA, and was divorced on 3 Apr 1951 in Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. Elspy (daughter of SHOREY, Norman Acle and BROWN, Agnes B) was born on 19 Dec 1903 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; died on 5 May 1956 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; was buried in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA.

Elspy Mae died in 1956, her death was reported by her mother. Her name is reported in the death certificate as "Elspy Mae Cassidy" but her marriage status is divorced, so it is assumed that she married again after divorcing John Willie, but had divorced again by the time of her death. Elspy is buried with her parents in the Pine Hill Cemetery in Dover, under her maiden name of Shorey.

Notes:

The New Hampshire Marriage and Death Certificates indicate that Harry DeRochemont was born 18 Jan 1868 to Frederick W and Sarah F (Adams) DeRochemont. They were living in Newington at the time. Harry was the oldest child and by the 1880 Census he had 2 younger sisters and 2 brothers.

On 15 May 1895, Harry married Annie C. McKenzie from Prince Edward Island. He is shown as 27 on his marriage certificate and Annie was 18. It lists him as a farmer. They were married by clergyman Edward Robie in Greenland, NH. Annie's parents were John and Barbara McKenzie. Harry's first two children, Mabel and John were both born in PEI. But we know from newspaper reports and the births of the rest of his children that he was living back in Newington by 1899.

In 1900, Harry and Annie were enumerated in Newington, living with Harry's parents Frederick and Sarah, their three children Mabel (4), John (2), and Lawrence (1), Harry's brother Frederick Jr., his grandfather Joseph Adams, and his aunt Annetta Adams.

Sadly, Annie died in 12 Mar 1906, just 4 days after giving birth to their son Bernard. Tragically, Bernard only lived a few months and also died on 17 Oct 1906. He is buried next to his mother in the Newington Cemetery. She had given birth to three more children before she died, James, Orville, and Harry Jr.

In the 1910 Census, Harry and his 6 children were still living with his parents in Newington. Elizabeth Haughey, a 24-year-old girl from Ireland was living with them as a housekeeper.

On 18 July 1916, Harry married his second wife, also a widow - Edith G. (Bradstreet) Garland. In 1917, the city directory lists them living at 612 Market St., in Portsmouth.

During the 1920 Census, they were living at 412 Hunker St. in Portsmouth. Harry's 4 boys, John, Lawrence, James, and Harry were still living with them, as was Clifton Garland and EB Garland (2 children, presumably Edith's from her first marriage) and Calton Bradstreet (age 25).

Harry's father died in 1926 and then his mother died in 1928.

During the 1930 Census, Harry and Edith were living in Newington, and his daughter Mabel (34 now) was living with them. Edith died in 1934.

During the 1940 Census, Harry was living alone in Newington; his son John W. and 8 grandchildren were living next door. On this Census, Harry indicates he had completed just 5 years of school.

On 8 Jun 1946, at the age of 78, Harry died in Concord. He is buried in the Newington Cemetery near his first wife Annie. J. Verne Wood was the funeral director. Death certificate says he died from a cerebral hemorrage. He had chronic myocarditis and myocardial degeneration. The attending physician was Dr. Everett F. Lombard.

Harry worked as a toll collector.

General Notes:
There was a notice of a marriage of Harry de Rochemont to Lena Fogg in the July 3, 1907 issue of the Portsmouth Herald although I have seen no other record to indicate that Harry had three wives. He was alone, widowed, in the Newington 1940 federal census. He was enumerated as being a mason's helper.

Harry married MACKENZIE, Annie C. on 25 May 1895 in Greenland, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Annie (daughter of MACKENZIE, John and CORBETT, Barbara) was born on 5 Jan 1877 in North Granville, Prince, Prince Edward Island, Canada; died on 12 Mar 1906 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.

Notes:

According to Amelia Patch, Fred lost a leg and had a wooden one. The leg was cut off by the doctor while he was lying on the kitchen table, and the leg was buried in the back yard. Later, after he had recuperated, his wooden leg was bothering him. They went to the yard, dug the old leg up and there rubbing up against the bone was an English walnut! He insisted that the walnut was the thing that was bothering his wooden leg.

Frederick married ADAMS, Sarah Frances on 20 Mar 1867 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Sarah (daughter of ADAMS, Joseph Colbath and NUTTER, Sarah Blanche) was born on 9 Aug 1840 in Newburyport, Essex, Massachusetts, USA; died on 10 Dec 1928 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried on 10 Dec 1928 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.

Notes:

Sarah Frances Adams was born in Newburyport, MA on August 9, 1840 (date according to her gravestone), the oldest child of Joseph Adams, a blacksmith, and Sarah Nutter. She had 5 younger sisters and 1 brother, from 2 to12 years younger than her.

She appears on the 1850 Census living in Newburyport with her parents, siblings, and her 24-year-old aunt (her mother's sister).
She appears on the 1855 MA census living with her family, still in Newburyport.

On 20 Mar 1867, Sarah married Frederick William deRochemont of Newington. They were married in Middleton, MA.

By the 1870 Census, Sarah was living in Newington with her husband, their 2 year old son Harry and 8 month old daughter Amelia. Frederick is listed as working as a fire insurance agent.

I don't know if they moved into the house as soon as they were married, but at least later in their marriage they lived in a house on Fox Point Rd.

By the 1880, 3 more children had been born, Windelina, Frederick W. , and Joseph, for a total of 5 children in the family. Harry, at age 12, is the only child listed as attending school. Amelia at age 10 was not. The other children were all too young still. On this Census, Frederick is listed as a farmer. Frederick's younger brother Herbert and his wife Olive lived next door with their 2 year old daughter Charlotte.

Sarah's mother died in 1892. She is buried in the Newington Cemetery.

By 1900, Fred and Sarah were near 60. Harry was married by this time and living with them along with his wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel (4), John (2), and Lawrence (1). Frederick Jr. was still living with them. Sarah's father Joseph C and her sister Annetta had also come to live with them.

In 1903, the Portsmouth Herald noted on May 7 that "Mrs. S. F. deRochemont returned on Tuesday from a visit to Newburyport where she had been the guest of her father J.C. Adams." So by this time, it appears that Joseph had returned to live in Newburyport.

Sarah's father died in 1907. He is buried beside his wife in Newington.

The Portsmouth Daily Herald, on 12 Apr 1909, reported on Sarah's husband's 68th birthday party. It was Easter and his children and grandchildren came to his home to help him celebrate. The article says that he had suffered an accident early in life and had been severely crippled,. but had always played an active role in the community nonetheless. It says Fred was born in Newington in 1841 in the house that his brother was living in when the article was written.

In the 1910 Census Sarah and Fred were living with their son Harry (now 42) and his 6 children, ranging in age from 14-6. Harry's wife Annie had died in childbirth in 1906 and the baby died shortly after. There is also an Elizabeth Haughey, age 24 living with them. The Census says she was from Ireland and is their servant. Fred is still listed as a farmer and Harry as a watchman for the railroad.

In the 1920 Census their were just 2 grandchildren still living with Sarah and Fred, Mabel and Orville. Mabel was 23 by now and working as a teacher.

Fred died in 1926. Sarah died on 10 Dec 1928. Her death certificate says she died of chronic myocarditis. They are buried together in the Newington cemetery.

General Notes:
Son Harry's marriage record says that Sarah was born in Newburyport. Son Frederick's says she was born in Portsmouth. It was more than likely Portsmouth since the Adams genealogy shows the first two children, Sarah and Anetta as being born in Portsmouth. The 1840 census shows a Joseph Adams in Portsmouth, none in Newburyport and the 1850 census shows Joseph C Adams in Newburyport. Sarah was called "Little Grammie" as she was a tiny woman.

Notes:

During the 1901 Census of Canada, John and Barbara and three children, A. Christie (8 Mar 1886), D. John (8 Jun 1888), and Voilet (16 May 1892) on PEI. He is noted as a Presbyterian, as is the rest of his family. It says he lived in DISTRICT NUMBER: 136; SUB-DISTRICT: Lot (township/canton) 21; SUB-DISTRICT NUMBER: C-1. His birth is noted as being 15 Apr 1849. However, it is assumed the census taker wrote this incorrectly as his baptism record say 1845. Two doors down there is a John Corbett born in 1844, his wife Sarah b. 4 Apr 1851 and 2 children - 19 yo A. Hector and 17 yo A. Margaret. Could these be Barbara's brother and his family?

In the 1910 US Census, John, Barbara and their two adult sons Hector and John D. were living on North Hampton Rd. in Greenland, NH. John A. was listed as a farm manager, able to read but not write. He was born in PEI, but his father was born in Scotland. His two sons were listed as farm laborers. They were renting. The immigration year for all of them was listed as 1908, with the exception of Hector who was listed as 1906. All four of these family members are buried in the South Granville Presbyterian Cemetery on PEI and we know that is where John and Barbara died on Christmas Day 1914, so they must have returned to PEI sometime between 1910 and 1914. Their daughter Annie was married to Harry DeRochemont of Newington. Annie and her baby died in 1906, but their other grandchildren remained in Newington, so clearly they had some ties to the New Hampshire seacoast region.

it is important to keep in view that the Scots became the largest ethnic group on the island and that PEI was to become the most Scottish province in Canada. Moreover, as Kennedy has suggested, over 80% of the Scots on PEI were from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland


Birth:
The 1901 Census reports his birth date as 15 Apr 1849. However, his actual "baptism" date, which many in PEI seem to report as a birth date I've observed, was 15 Apr 1845. Either the census taker heard it wrong or wrote it wrong.

Name:

John married CORBETT, Barbara on 4 Jan 1872 in Strathalbyn, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
