DEWIT, Carston Cornelius

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Castin Cornelius de WIT
• _DNA: Match - Michelle (paternal)
• Ordained: 1811, Georgetown, Demerara-Mahaica, Guyana; Suger planter

Notes:

In the 1 May 1894 Boston Daily Globe article titled "She Is No Yankee," it says that Castin Cornelius De Wit is descended from the family of John de Wit, governor of Holland. It describes him as a sugar planter with a schooner.

A small note in family papers reads, "Cornelius C. DeWit died Apr. 1. 1827. Buried on Plantation Le Resouvenir, east coast of Demerary Apr. 3. 1827. b June 25. 1780".

So far Castin Cornelius's line has not been found other than parents. As of 16 May 1807 Carsten and his brother with only the intitial "N" owned shares in Plantation Wittenberg. In 27 Oct 1804 LHH de Wit was the manager of Le Resouvenir.

The following information was extracted from Crowns of Glory, Tears of Blood, the Demerara Slave Rebellion of 1823 by Emilia Viotti da Costa.

"When all land along the river had been granted, the company distributed new grants along the coast, east and west of the mouth of the Demerara, in the areas that came to be known as the East Coast and the West Coast. A limit of 1,000 acres was established for sugar and 500 for coffee plantations. Before the area could be settled, a complicated system of canals, dams, and sluices had to be built to improve drainage--a task the Dutch were particularly qualified to accomplish. Plantations were laid out next to each other, with frontages of 100 roods [one rood= 12 feet] and depths of 750."

Demerara was incorporated into the British empire circa 1792. On the East Coast, the area between the Demerara River and Berbice, most plantations in the first part of the nineteenth century were producing mainly cotton although some were producing at the same time sugar, rum, cotton, and coffee. By 1813, 8% of the plantations had more than 300 slaves, 40% had between 200 and 300, and 46% had between 100 and 200.

Le Resouvenir belonged evidently to a Dutch planter named Hermanus Hilbertus Post. Unlike most of the planters, he was a pious man and invited a Methodist minister named Wray from the London Missionary Service to come and preach to the slaves. Post had been born in Utrecht in 1755 but had settled in Demerara. He quickly built a fortune which allowed him to travel to Holland and to live in New Rochelle, NY from 1791 to 1799. He returned in 1799 to take care of business in Demerara. Evidently he had undergone a religious conversion and made the religious instruction of his slaves a top priority.

Le Resouvenir was on the East Coast of Demerara, about eight miles from Stabroek which became Georgetown. In 1808 it "had a population of 375 slaves and about 700 acres, 225 of which were planted in cotton, 375 in coffee, and 100 in cocoa and provisions. The main building stood about a mile from the seaside, and behind it there was a canal leading to the back dam. Orange trees had been planted on each side of the canal. A green path shaded by rows of Mountain Cabbage trees led from the main house to the public road. Everything had been built or grown by slaves under Post's supervision."

Post built a chapel called Bethel Chapel on Le Resouvenir and a small missionary house as well. Slaves from surrounding plantations were allowed to attend the church services also. Most of the congregation was made up of slaves and a few white overseers. The local Dutch minister as well as other planters saw Post as a trouble maker. Many at Le Resouvenir only spoke Dutch, but most spoke English as well.

In 1809 Post died, and his widow married a man named Van der Haas whose brother beat the slaves. He in turn was replaced by a man named Hamilton. There was much unrest on the plantation at this time. Wray who had come to preach had been eventually replaced in 1816 by missionaries John Smith and his wife Jane. In her deposition, Sarah de Wit mentions a Dr Smith, but he appeared to be a medical doctor, and the above John Smith was dead by the time the De Rochemonts immigrated to the U.S. in the 1830's. It is John Smith who is considered the hero of the slave rebellion of 1823 which led ultimately to their emancipation. He lived and preached on Le Resouvenir.

Da Costa speaks of an outbreak of smallpox at Le Resouvenir in 1819. She further mentions a slave Susanna who lived with the plantation manager John Hamilton. She also speaks of slaves in the dry season going to Le Resouvenir for water, for there was a permanent spring there. She mentions a carpenter Peter Hood on the plantation and slaves Cupido, Romeo, and Azor. The focus of the book concerned the events that led up to the revolt of 1823, and there is little about the goings-on of Le Resouvenir other than those that concerned the slaves directly.

Carston married DEROCHEMONT, Maria Louisa Suzette in 1805 in Demerara-Mahaica, Guyana. Maria (daughter of DEROCHEMONT, Carel Pieter Wlhelm and VESTJENS DE ROCHEMONT, Maria Margot Margaretha Vestjeris) was born on 20 Nov 1786 in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands; was christened on 30 Nov 1786 in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands; died on 30 Nov 1828 in Plantation Le Resouvenir, Georgetown, Demerara-Mahaica, Guyana; was buried .

• Residence: 1900, Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; Marital Status: Widowed; Relation to Head of House: Mother

Notes:

Maria Louisa went to school with Celia Thaxter's mother at Susan Huntress' school. She raised her four younger sisters whom she brought north with her and her husband. She also brought several slaves, one of whom was named Nina and lived to be over 100 years old. They are buried in the garden of the DeRochemont home in Newington.

Marguerita Mazeau related that her father Percy told her that as Maria Louisa, called Louisa, became elderly, she remained most of the time in the upstairs bedroom in the home where Marguerita now lives which at that time belonged to Louisa's son Clarence. She was afraid most of the time that a strange man was going to get her and would scream about it. Marguerita has in her home a small wreath of dried flowers that Louisa supposedly wore at her wedding, a present from her brother who got it while in England. I do not know if it was from brother Carstin or brother Leonard who died ca 1829.

In the 1900 Newington census, Maria L was enumerated with Clarence and his family. It also states erroneously that both of her parents were born in Germany. It also states that she had a total of 12 children and that 6 were living as of 1900. I have only the names of 10 children for her.

Maria married DEROCHEMONT, Frederick William on 24 Mar 1828 in Demerara-Mahaica, Guyana. Frederick (son of DEROCHEMONT, Maximillian John and MOSES, Sarah Ham) was born on 31 Oct 1804 in Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was christened on 19 Apr 1837 in Demerara-Mahaica, Guyana; died on 13 Apr 1885 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried on 13 Apr 1885 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Henrietta Jacoba de WIT
• Birth: 28 Jul 1814, Georgetown, Demerara-Mahaica, Guyana

Notes:

Benjamin Penhallow Shillabar, brother-in-law to Henrietta, wrote the following tribute to her which appeared in the Portsmouth Journal 17 April 1871.

Death claims the victory when we sadly close
The coffin lid upon the precious dust,
And when we quaiff the chalice of our woes
With tearful eyes and hearts of feeble trust.
But when the anguish of the barb has flown,
And we look up from the concealing sod,
Tracking the path the loved and lost have gone,
We no more turn in anguish to the clod.
We see the Graces that our life has blest
Transferred to where they brighter still may shine;
Unmarred by blight of care, or pain distrest,
In airs beneficent and light devine.
Still holds its sway the undivided bond
That bound our soul below to that above,
As constant still, in its adhesion fond,
As when on earth 't was manifest in love.
Not sanctified, the mourned, but simply good,
Not free from earth's alloy or human taint,
But in the fullness of true womanhood
Was comprehended all that makes the saint.
The dignity, the counsel, sweet and wise,
The lender care, the gentle, loving voice,
The eloquence that pleaded from the eyes,
The thousand acts that made the heart rejoice--
And more than memories--they are still our own,
In the blest influence that they impart;
The loving glance, the tender voice's tone.
Still bide within the chambers of the heart.
We feel the touch of hands that disappeared,
Yet take our own in guidance as of old;
And the bright character that erst endeared,
Illumes and gladdens all it then controlled.
Such cannot die to us: the real lives
In that which made it real while 't was here,
And this grand faith the blest assurance gives,
That though the loved be gone they are still here.
Herein the victory over Death is shown:
The form is but the shrine, of tenure slight,
That may in the attack be overthrown,
While lives the spirit in unfailing light.
B. P. Shillaber

Notes:

Carsten was referred to as "a farmer of Springfield, Maine" for a while. He has a footstone with his large stone in Newington. Also there are two markers, one a "US Veteran" and one a "Post 1 GAR". His obit in the Portsmouth Journal calls him a "late yeoman on the US Steamer Kearsage."

The 1864 Portsmouth Directory shows that Carsten had a house on Dennett St. He was not in the 1860/61 directory nor the 1867 one. Neither was his wife. A Thomas H. De Wit posted bond as sureties of his estate 12 Sept. 1865. According to the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses, his daughter Sarah J Shannon claimed that her mother was born in British Guiana but that her father was born in New York. He was not.

Carsten was an accountant in the 1860 Portsmouth, New Hampshire census:

Carstine Dewit 52, accountant,born Demerara
Anne E 43, born Demerara
George Brown 20, farm laborer, born Demerara
Thomas H Dewit 13, born New Hampshire
Sarah J 9, born Maine

• Reference Number: 4771

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.

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.

Herbert married HOYT, Olive Folsom on 29 Apr 1877 in Greenland, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Olive was born about 1855 in Greenland, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to Amelia Patch, Fred lost a leg and had a wooden one. The leg was cut off by the doctor while he was lying on the kitchen table, and the leg was buried in the back yard. Later, after he had recuperated, his wooden leg was bothering him. They went to the yard, dug the old leg up and there rubbing up against the bone was an English walnut! He insisted that the walnut was the thing that was bothering his wooden leg.

Frederick married ADAMS, Sarah Frances on 20 Mar 1867 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.

She and Homer were boarders, and he was engaged in "commercial trade" if I am reading the words on the census correctly. Her obit in the Portsmouth Herald calls her the widow of Homer Jones and that she had died at the home of her brother Clarence.

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.

George married STORER, Catherine on 21 Oct 1857 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Catherine was born on 8 Jan 1837 in Great Falls, Somersworth, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; died on 16 May 1908; was buried in Springvale, York, Maine, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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. The ceremony was performed by Reverend. Robert Sutcliff in the presence of a large gathering of friends and relatives from this city and Rockland.

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. For some time she has filled a position in the public schools of that city and is known for her kindly disposition and pleasant manner which have endeared her to a host of friends and acquaintances.

In 1920 Henry was a farmer in Waldoboro but by 1930 was a plumber in Rockland.

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.

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."
