Notes - In the 1870 Portsmouth census, Leonard was living with his mother, brother and sister Anna and was called a musician. In the 1880 census Leonard, musician, Kate, daughter Anna and brother Thomas, also a musician, were all in the Manhattan census. Both de Wit brothers claimed that their father was born in South America, not New York as their sister Sarah claimed on several censuses. By 1900 Leonard and Kate and Anna were in Brooklyn, but brother Thomas was not with them.
