Notes - There is a death record at NHVR for 21 May 1865 of one Leonard de Wit, a single farmer, born in Demerara. In the 1860 census there is a Leonard C Dewitt who was living with the George Derochemont family. He was 26 at that time (born ca 1834), single and a farmer. I believe he is the man who died in 1864 and was more than likely Henrietta's nephew, son of her brother Leonard.
Marguerita Maseau of Newington showed me a beautiful wreath that Maria Louisa de Wit wore on her head at her wedding. She told me that her brother had bought it for her in England on one of his trips. I think it was Leonard who was the brother because in a deposition, Sarah (Anderson) de Wit said that she had visited the America once before moving here and also once to England.
