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.

Notes:
Sarah Frances Adams was born in Newburyport, MA on August 9, 1840 (date according to her gravestone), the oldest child of Joseph Adams, a blacksmith, and Sarah Nutter. She had 5 younger sisters and 1 brother, from 2 to12 years younger than her.
She appears on the 1850 Census living in Newburyport with her parents, siblings, and her 24-year-old aunt (her mother's sister).
She appears on the 1855 MA census living with her family, still in Newburyport.
On 20 Mar 1867, Sarah married Frederick William deRochemont of Newington. They were married in Middleton, MA.
By the 1870 Census, Sarah was living in Newington with her husband, their 2 year old son Harry and 8 month old daughter Amelia. Frederick is listed as working as a fire insurance agent.
I don't know if they moved into the house as soon as they were married, but at least later in their marriage they lived in a house on Fox Point Rd.
By the 1880, 3 more children had been born, Windelina, Frederick W. , and Joseph, for a total of 5 children in the family. Harry, at age 12, is the only child listed as attending school. Amelia at age 10 was not. The other children were all too young still. On this Census, Frederick is listed as a farmer. Frederick's younger brother Herbert and his wife Olive lived next door with their 2 year old daughter Charlotte.
Sarah's mother died in 1892. She is buried in the Newington Cemetery.
By 1900, Fred and Sarah were near 60. Harry was married by this time and living with them along with his wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel (4), John (2), and Lawrence (1). Frederick Jr. was still living with them. Sarah's father Joseph C and her sister Annetta had also come to live with them.
In 1903, the Portsmouth Herald noted on May 7 that "Mrs. S. F. deRochemont returned on Tuesday from a visit to Newburyport where she had been the guest of her father J.C. Adams." So by this time, it appears that Joseph had returned to live in Newburyport.
Sarah's father died in 1907. He is buried beside his wife in Newington.
The Portsmouth Daily Herald, on 12 Apr 1909, reported on Sarah's husband's 68th birthday party. It was Easter and his children and grandchildren came to his home to help him celebrate. The article says that he had suffered an accident early in life and had been severely crippled,. but had always played an active role in the community nonetheless. It says Fred was born in Newington in 1841 in the house that his brother was living in when the article was written.
In the 1910 Census Sarah and Fred were living with their son Harry (now 42) and his 6 children, ranging in age from 14-6. Harry's wife Annie had died in childbirth in 1906 and the baby died shortly after. There is also an Elizabeth Haughey, age 24 living with them. The Census says she was from Ireland and is their servant. Fred is still listed as a farmer and Harry as a watchman for the railroad.
In the 1920 Census their were just 2 grandchildren still living with Sarah and Fred, Mabel and Orville. Mabel was 23 by now and working as a teacher.
Fred died in 1926. Sarah died on 10 Dec 1928. Her death certificate says she died of chronic myocarditis. They are buried together in the Newington cemetery.
General Notes:
Son Harry's marriage record says that Sarah was born in Newburyport. Son Frederick's says she was born in Portsmouth. It was more than likely Portsmouth since the Adams genealogy shows the first two children, Sarah and Anetta as being born in Portsmouth. The 1840 census shows a Joseph Adams in Portsmouth, none in Newburyport and the 1850 census shows Joseph C Adams in Newburyport. Sarah was called "Little Grammie" as she was a tiny woman.
