  • Notes 
    • Notes from Debbie Patch Wilson:
      Abrham remained in Holland after the death of his parents in Demarrara. He was poor, married,
      and had eleven children. The account of his children is given in the appendix of the "Commemorative Gathering, Notes of
      Proceedings at the Meeting of the de Rochemont Family". It does not say who wrote the
      appendix, but whoever it is says he corresponds with a son of Maximilian's brother Abraham
      Fortunatus who stayed in Holland. The comments on each of the children were made by his son,
      Charles Peter William, probably at the time of the gathering or at least after 1854 when he notes
      that one child had left.

      Email describing our mutual relations and her family line
      Ah ha! I have Lucinda in my database, dau of John Derochemont and Elpsy May Shorey. John son of Harry and first wife Anna McKenzie of PEI. Harry son of Fred and Sarah! Bingo!

      My line is Fred DeR and Sarah Frances Adams> Amelia Blance DeR and second husband Albert Garland. my grandmother Amelia Julia Garland and Garland Patch> my parents Garland Patch and Ivene Severance > me, Deborah (Patch) Wilson.

      This is terrific. I have done tons of research on the Derochemonts and Dewitts. I have not uploaded onto Ancestry. Dragging my feet. I have original family papers as well as an original letter signed by Maximilian. Also some photos of Fred and Sarah Frances that I will be happy to share. They are my great greats. My grandmother talked of her grandparents, Fred and Sarah. She also talked about her mum's brother Harry.

      This is great! And to think you are right in Wakefield. I might also have a photo of Harry. Will check.

      Don't get lost now! Ha ha!

      Cousin Debbie
