Notes:

Thanks to Debbie (Patch) Wilson for the following notes. These come from her extensive research which she provided to me on 5 Oct 2014 when I visited her home in Sandwich, NH:

Frederick William accompanied his uncle Carsten at about age fourteen to
Demerara to live with his father's sister and family. There he worked in a law
office. He fell in love with his first cousin, and despite the displeasure of the
family concerning a relationship this close, he married Maria Louisa de Wit.
When Maria Louisa's parents died twenty months apart, what was left of their
insolvent estate was left to the seven minor de Wit children (minority there lasted
until the age of 25). The Water Side House, so-called, was auctioned off and
bought by Frederick to pay outstanding bills, and twenty-five of the thirty-one
slaves were sold. Since Frederick had been given sole guardianship of the
minors, he handled the money and brought Maria's younger sisters and six of the
slaves north to the United States where they all settled in Newington. Maria's
brother Carsten joined them later. There is a copy of the receipt for the purchase
of the slaves. Frederic paid a total of 2735 guilders for six slaves: Cupido 890,
of the slaves. Frederic paid a total of 2735 guilders for six slaves: Cupido 890,
Marianne 325, Calais 335, Isaac 375, Dick 475 and Jeannette 335.

In 1861 Frank Pickering and his wife Sophia De Rochemont instituted a suit
claiming that Frederick had not given the minors their fair share from the sale of
the property located at 310 Werken Rust as well as the slaves and had kept the
use of the remaining slaves left to the minors for himself. The Pickerings also
asked for compensation for the eleven years of labor and services that Sophia
had provided while living with Frederick and his family. There are on file at the
New Hampshire State Archives long depositions by all parties involved
concerning life in Demerara, the circumstances by which they came north, and
other vital facts, including the deposition that the minors had received a legacy
from Holland which amounted to about $32.00 apiece in the fall of 1841 or the
spring of 1842. The court eventually ruled that a husband could not sue for
property owned by his wife before the marriage, and it found in favor of the
defendant Frederick William.

In the 1850 census are the following:
F. De Rochemont 45
Maria L. 39
William H. 21
Mariah L. 12
Frederick W. 8
Amelia 4
Elizabeth 2
Mariana DeWitt 80
Sarah H. De Rochemont 72
John Hodgdon 14

We know now that Mariana DeWitt in the 1850 Newington census was a slave.
She was brought from Demerara with others when Frederick brought his family
north and had been inherited by the DeWitt girls when their parents died. Several
of the slaves are buried in the garden behind the Derochemont house (I believe
Percy's house). Sarah H is Sarah Ham Moses Derochemont, Frederick's mother.
In the 1860 census Frederick was listed as the postmaster. He held this position
in Newington almost all of his life.

In the 1870 census, there was a domestic girl named Mary Loheed with Fred and
Maria Derochemont in Newington. She was 17, born MA. Mystery solved! The
New Hampshire Genealogical Record, Jan/April 2012 included in its articles"Girls
Sent to New Hampshire From the Boston Asylum.". In it was find Mary Loheed.
July 1857: widow named Mrs. Loheed had brought two little girls to the Asylum.
Her husband had recently died leaving her with four children whom she now felt
unable to maintain. The committee admitted Catharine Ann and Mary Anne
Loheed. In June of 1863 Mrs Loheed applied to take Catharine, now more than
12 years old. It was granted. In February of 1865 Mrs Penhallow of Portsmouth
applied for Mary Anne and she was bound to Mr and Mrs Penahallow. However,
in November of the same year, "Mr FW de Rochemont from Newington made
application for Mary Anne Loheed. He brought two recommendations from
persons in the neighborhood" and it was voted to bound Mary Anne Loheed to Mr
and Mrs de Rochemont.

We find in Boston births that Mary Loheed was born 20 Feb 1854, dau Thomas,
bootfitter born Ireland and Mary A also born Ireland. Her sister Catharine Ann was
born 11 Nov 1850

George W. de Rochemont.

George W. de Rochemont, 73, died at his home in Little Rest last Friday after a lingering illness with Bright's disease. Mr. de Rochemont was born in Portsmouth N.H. January 8, 1837. His grandfather came from France and belonged to the French nobility before the Reformation when the family was driven from France. This ancestor was married to a Miss Dewitt from Holland, who was a young cousin, because of the custom of intermarriage between noble families of different nations. This branch of the family emigrated to America in 1806. George de Rochemont lived upon his father's farm in Portsmouth until 17 years of age, when he served apprenticeship in the brass and bronze foundry business which he followed for 52 years. For 20 years he was forman for the "Adams & Wesetake Manufacturing Co. in Bridgeport, Ct. He was married to Miss Catherine Stores of Springvale, Me., whom he survived, and the couple celebrated their golden wedding. Always retaining his passion for farming he came to Brimfield a few years ago and enjoyed that occupation in his later life. He was a member of the Methodist church for 50 years and a consistent Christian, but on account of deafness he had not attended church in his old age, though he kept up his religious interest in the reading of sermons and other religious literature. The body was taken Maine and placed beside that of his wife in the Springvale cemetery.

Notes:

According to Amelia Patch, Herbert was a real estate broker in San Francisco. He dropped the Derochemont surname and became Herbert Stanley when he decided to leave his wife for a girlfriend. She said evidently he did not want to disgrace the Derochemont name. Maybe he just did not want to be found.

In the 1880 census, Herbert was living with his wife Olive and daughter Charlotte, but in the 1900 census, Herbert was enumerated alone with Clarence and his family.

In the 1910 Alameda census, Herbert and Florence claimed that they had been married for seven years. Both boys with them carried the name Stanley as a surname, but they more than likely belonged to Florence's first husband.

Marie got the deRochemont House. It became the Great Bay Training Center. At one point, her nephew Louis fixed up the third floor and Virginia and her family lived there for a while. This would have been in the early to mid 1930's. Virginia says, "The barn and carriage shed where Grandpa Derochemont parked when he came from Cambridge have been moved. As a girl, I spent lots of summer days at The Farm with chickens, cows, cats and gardens. I have on the wall one of the skimmers Aunt Marie used to scoop up the thick Guernsey cream from the cooling pans in their kitchen. I have a picture of Bill Knight in the barn by the grain bin. My parents called their house Blueberry Ban. When my mother and brother sold the big house, Simplex used it for a while as office or guest house. Then Simplex sold the big house which was turned and moved SE and is now a homeopathic clinic. Most likely the wild strawberry plants that grew along the stone wall are gone, probably they did something with the brook and all the trees, the stand of pines and everything else that wouldn't turn a profit."

The marriage of Harry Melville de Rochemont of Newington and Miss Lena Katherine Fogg of Rockland, Maine took place on Tuesday afternoon at the home of the bride in that city.

After the reception which followed the ceremony, Mr and Mrs de Rochemont left for a short wedding trip, after which they will reside for the summer in Newington. Many beautiful and useful gifts came from legions of friends and acquaintances, who extent best wishes for a long and happy wedded life.

The groom is an employee of the Portsmouth Heating and Plumbing Company of this city and is much respected by the firm members and his associates. The bride is one of Rockland's fairest daughters.

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.
