Notes - In her court deposition concerning Pickering and Wife v. De Rochemont, Sarah deposed that she came to Demerara circa 1802 as a little girl, lived with the de Wits in one end of the Water Side House so-called after she married Leonard and for about ten months after he died. She then moved up the Demerara River above the tide. She reached it by a row boat, and it took about six hours to reach on a good tide. She then returned to Georgetown after having lived in the country for six months and was appointed mistress of the Free School until she removed to the United States. She had already visited the states once and England once. She also stated that she had three daughters and a son by her first husband.
Sarah sponsored the baptism of Frederick's son William Henry in September of 1829 as Sarah Anderson. Leonard C DeWitt sponsored him as well as did Henry Howes and JA Odde.
I think it is her daughter who married Carsten B De Witt.
