| 177 | A birth record for Eunice has not been found. However, in 1790, Thomas Adams (presumably Eunice's father) was living in Bowdoin in 1790, when he was enumerated as the head of a household consisting of nine members: 4 males under 16 (sons Nathan, Thomas, Adam, one unidentified), one male over 16 (Thomas), and four females (daughter Sarah, mother Sarah, and two unidentified).44 The unidentified persons may be unrecorded children born prior to the removal from Harpswell to Bowdoin, as there is a large gap between the birth of Nathan in 1774, and the first recorded child in Bowdoin, son Thomas, in 1784. By 1800, Thomas Adams' son Nathan was married and had established his own household in Bowdoin, adjacent to Joseph Tarr.46 Thomas’s household that year probably included Samuel, 8, Adam, 11, Thomas, 16, father Thomas, 50, Lydia, 6, Sarah, 13, one unidentified female 16-25 (probably Eunice Adams), and mother Sarah, aged 50-52.47 | ADAMS, Eunice (I1377)

(4) 16 Jan 1678 in Billerica, Massachusetts Wife: Mary (Littlefield) Kittredge D. October 1712 in Billerica, Massachusetts Emigrated: 1635 on the ship Defence John French experienced the hardships of living in 17th century New England, having three wives who died young, and later becoming wounded while fighting Indians. He was born in 1635 in England to William and Elizabeth French, their third child. When he was still a small baby, the family boarded the ship Defence, landing in Boston on October 8th. The family settled in Cambridge, where John grew up. His parents had six more children there. In 1653, the French family moved to the new town of Billerica and on June 21, 1659, John married Abigail Coggan of Barnstable. She died less than three years later at the age of 23, on April 5, 1662. He quickly married again on July 3rd of that year to Hannah Burrage of Charlestown. She bore him two daughters, but died on July 7, 1667 also at the age of 23. John married a third time on January 14, 1668 to Mary Rogers. She had a daughter in 1670 and died on June 16, 1677. Finally, on 16 Jan 1678, he married a fourth wife, Mary (Littlefield) Kittredge, who had been widowed with five young sons. John and Mary had six children together. John served as a corporal in the militia in Billerica during King Phillip's War. On August 2, 1675, the militia met up with Indians in a swamp near Billerica called Quaboag (or Brookfield) where several settlers were killed. John was in the fight, and after shooting an Indian, he got hit by return fire, which cut off one of his thumbs and seriously wounded his body near his shoulder. After the war, John petitioned the town for financial help, describing himself as "a poor wounded man." He was exempted from paying taxes for several years. He was also permitted to sit "at the table with Capt. John Lane and Mr. Crosby" during church services, and his wife Mary was allowed to "sit in the front gallery with Mrs. Foster and those women placed there." It was said that he was "an influential citizen of Billerica and held many town offices from time to time." John died in October of 1712 at the age of 77. Children by Hannah Burrage: 1.

| 183 | A Norman nobleman who created Earl of Surrey under William II Rufus. He is among the few who are documented as having fought for William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. At the time of the Domesday Survey, he held extensive lands in 13 counties including the Rape of Lewes in Sussex, now East Sussex. | DE WARENNE, William I (I7285)

| 184 | 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. | DEWIT, Carston Cornelius (I1281)

| 185 | A tradition, well established by Shakespeare’s day, has it that they were two of the three knights (the other being Shirley’s colleague, Blount) who, clad in royal armour in order to impersonate the King, successively encountered and fell in single combat under the victorious arm of the earl of Douglas, their deaths being avenged by a fourth champion, Prince Henry.7 Sir Hugh Shirley Birth: 1355 Ettington, Warwickshire, England Death: Jul. 22, 1403 Shrewsbury Shropshire, England Birth: ABT 1355 in Eatington, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England Death: 22 JUL 1403 in Battle of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England 1 Note: Sir Hugh Shirley, inherited Basset estates; Grand Falconer to Henry IV 1400; killed 1403 at Battle of Shrewsbury, being one of four who were dressed as the King and mistaken for him by the enemy. [Burke's Peerage] The encounter is immortalised by Shakespeare in his play "Henry IV". However, in the play Shakespeare uses dramatic licence and he has Sir Hugh killed instead by Douglas. Quote: King Henry: "Hold up thy head, vile Scot, or thou art like never to hold it up again ! The spirits of valiant Shirley, Stafford and Blunt are in my arms." 1400-1403 Master of King's Hawks. children: Joan Shirley m.

| 189 | Abigail died at age unknown. She was captured by Indians in an attack on Cocheco Point (Dover) either on June 28, 1689, or February 1690. She was taken to Trois Riviere (Three Rivers) Canada, in the province of Quebec.She was included on lists of Indian prisoners in 1695, 11 Nov 1702 and 1710/11. Apparently she was baptized in Canada and as "Louise" Corsonouit, living at Three Rivers, she received 60 livres of the King's money. She was not heard of again.

| 191 | About Joseph Woodsum Joseph Woodsum was born in 1680/81, probably at Leeds, Yorkshire, England.2 He married first Margaret Hornabrook, daughter of John Hornabrook and Mary before 1708.2 He married second Abigail Abbot, daughter of John Abbot and Abigail Nason, on 12 February 1723/24 at Berwick, York County, Maine.3,4,5,6,7 He died before 4 June 1776. Joseph Woodsum was the father of eleven children and progenitor of all the American Woodsum (Woodsome/Woodsom) families.2 He settled before 1708 in Berwick, York County, Maine.2 He was a tailor. He and sons Joseph and John appears on a list of Captain John Hill's company, on 22 October 1740 in Berwick.He was living on 19 January 1756. Joseph's marriage to Margaret was likely an unhappy one. In August 1708, before they married, Margaret was indiscreet with Francis Shallot at Newcastle. Whether for this offense or a later one, she was acquitted of adultery in Boston in 1714 while Joseph was in England. She then disappears from the records, but was probably still living because Joseph waited some years to marry Abigail with whom he had been having an affair since at least 1717 when the couple was first presented to the court for bastardy. Joseph Woodsum and Abigail Abbot were in court charged with bastardy in September 1717 in York County, Maine. Joseph Woodsum was in court charged with cursing in March 1719 in York County, Maine. Joseph Woodsum and Abigail Abbot were again in court charged with bastardy in March 1722 in York County, Maine. Joseph Woodsum was in court charged with profanity in June 1726 in York County, Maine. | WOODSUM, Joseph (I9088)

When he first came to America he went to Watertown, MA, where he was a proprietor in 1636; his house was burned in October of that year, whereupon he seems to have removed to Dedham, where he was a constable in 1636-37-38, and was admitted a freeman March 9, 1637. He was owner of coal mines in Halifax and November 2, 1637, shortly before his death, he received a grant of half the coal and iron he might find in the common lands.

| 194 | Abraham Dugas (son of Roy Dugast) was born 1616 in St-Anne Auray, Brittany of Toulouse, Languedoc, France, and died 1700 in Port-Royal, Acadia, Canada. He married Marguerite Judith Doucet on 1647 in Port Royal, Acadia (Nova Scotia), daughter of Germain Doucet and Marie Bourgeois. Notes for Abraham Dugas: He arrived in Port Royal in 1640 with D'Aulnay. He was an Armourer for the King. Was given the designation of Lieutenant General in Acadia. Lived on the shore the Annapolis River, close to the site of Fort Anne, Annapolis Royal. The first Dugas in North America was Abraham Dugas, gunsmith, born about 1616. A native of Toulouse, France, he arrived in Acadia from France in 1640 at the age of 24. Abraham settled at Port Royal where he practiced his trade of gunsmith. He married Marguerite Doucet, the daughter of Germain Doucet, dit Laverdure, and Marie Bourgeois, at Port Royal in 1647. Abraham was kept busy at his trade, because, by the Acadian census of 1671, every man and boy over the age of 13 owned a gun. Not only were the guns necessary for hunting; they were also used in the defense of the colony, which was almost constantly under attack by the British. Abraham Dugas also farmed and held the offices of justice of the peace and syndic (chief of police) at Port Royal. He acquired a fair amount of wealth for the time. Abraham and Marguerite had three sons and five daughters. Their children married into the Melanson, Bourgeois, Arsenault, Bourg (Bourg), Guilbaud (Guilbeaux) and LeBlanc families. The family spread across the colony, and by the second generation there were Dugas at Grand Pré, Cobéquid, Beaubassin and Cap-de-Sable.

May 4, 1933 Abraham Dugas, the first name that came to America, was left Toulouse in 1640, to go s'establir Acadia. His ancestors were from Lyonnals. Their original name WAS Crignet. In the seventeenth century, a member of this family was distinguished by prominent military, he was created a Knight of St. Louis and received the king a large area, called the field of Gas. Its crest as it keeps the Dugas of Lyon, was by mouth with the chief two swords in saltire and in quince peak. His family was known as the Gas Crignet. Gradually she abandoned her original name and kept only one of the Gas she later wrote Du Gas, and finally Dugas. In the relations of the Jesuits found written on behalf of the Gas. The quince is on the shield is in memory of the first name. Abraham Dugas was 22 years old when he moved to Port Royal in Acadia. He was a gunsmith's king. In the year 1647, he married a Port-Royal Acadian named Louise Doucet. By his marriage he had several children: we know the names of only six: Claude, Abraham and Martin, Anne Marie and Madeleine. Claude and Abraham are the ancestors of all Dugas of Arcadia and the province of Quebec; they form two branches, the branch of Abraham and the branch of Claude, Martin has remained single. Anne married Charles Bourgeois Port-Royal: it happens to be the maternal ancestor of Dr. Mignault, of Montreal, was the 6th generation, married Madeleine Germain Bourgeois, in 1682, in Port Royal; and is the maternal ancestor of Mirault and Robichaud of Saint-Jacques. Mary married at Port Royal, Charles Melancon; and it is the ancestor of families Melancon of Saint-Jacques and Montreal. There were several alliances between Melancon and Dugas branch. Claude. In the years 1755-56, when the dispersion of the Acadians, many of the branch Dugas of Claude were deported to Boston. Three brothers, Joseph, Daniel and Blaise, son of Claude Dugas and Josette Melancon, were exiled until 1773. Blaise married there and never returned to Canada. Two of his sons Blaise and Firmin and later moved to Saint-Jacques of Bass. One of the girls named Sara Blaise married at Saint-Jacques, Francis Faucher. It is the grandfather of the Rev. Faucher father and his brothers by their grandmother belonged to a branch of Claude Dugas. Joseph and Daniel Dugas, brothers of Blaise, were both located in Saint-Jacques. That is what are all their descendants who then have to scattered in other parishes. Monsignor Dugas, of Cohoes, and his brothers are part of the Clauge and the canon Dugas, of Joliette. The branch of Abraham has only one stem in the province of Quebec. Historical notes on the Dugas family Alexandre Dugas, great grand-son of Abraham, escaped the English fled through the woods, and after a journey of adventure, hardship and misery, has to get to Halifax and Quebec has. In the year 1765, he was pitched in the parish of St-Henri de Mascouche. It's that he died in 1789. He married an Acadian named Josette Brassard, daughter of J. Bte Brassard and Cecile Babin. By his marriage he had three girls and two boys. The eldest son named Francois, born in 1774 in Mascouche, married at St-Jacques of Bass in 1803, Angelique Dupuis. It is the ancestors of the Abbe G. Dugas, a former course of Ste-Anne des Plaines; Father of T. Dugas, cure of Bourbonnais; two Jesuits, Napoleon and Jacques Dugas, and and fire judges J. Dugas, of Joliette. One of the brothers of Alexander Dugas named Charles, after having been long browser between Halifax and Quebec, established in the province of Quebec. He is the great grandfather of the late J. Dugas, of Dawson. R. (The Bulletin of Historical Research) | DUGAS, Abraham (I5873)

| 195 | Abraham was born in England about 1613. He first appeared in Hampton, NH, in 1638, having gone there with Rev. Stephen Batchelder from either Ipswich or Newbury, MA. At that time Hampton was in Norfolk Co., MA. He was granted 80 acres of land in Hampton in 1639; he was appointed marshall in 1654. He married Mary Wise before 1639 (she was the daughter of Humphrey and Susan Wise). Abraham was made a freeman 13 May 1640. To become a freeman at that time it ws required that the individual be a respected member of some Congregational Church and subsribe to an oath (written out in the source reference) before the General Court of the Quarterly Court of the county.

| 197 | According to a History of Henry Adams, Joseph C. was born in Barnstead, Feb 25 1815 and was married Oct 29 1839 to Sarah B. Nutter the daughter of James and Hannah (Langley) Nutter. He was a blacksmith in Newburyport for many years. Joseph's father died in 1820 when he was only 5 years old. In October of 1821 the Strafford Court granted guardianship of Joseph (listed as Josephus in the court papers) and his siblings to his mother. Shortly after, also in1821, there was a notice in the paper that his father's 50 acre farm in Barnstead, NH was being auctioned to pay debts. I have also found the probate records ordering this sale as the estate owed $1200. It is unknown what his mother may have done then and where they lived, though by 1837 it is presumed they were living in the Newington/Portsmouth area as that is where his sister Sally Ann drowned (she was 17 at the time). In 1839, Joseph is listed in the city directory at 57 Daniel where he had a blacksmith shop. His mother was also living in town, at 25 Court St., Portsmouth. Joseph and Sarah married in 1839 and during the 1840 Census they were enumerated, living together, in Portsmouth. It appears that there may have been another Joseph Adams living next to them as neighbors. That is unusual and I don't yet know who it could be. By the 1850 Census, Joseph and his wife were living in Newburyport, MA and had 5 children, 5 daughters ranging in age from 9 (Sarah F my ancestor) to 2. Ariadna Nutter, Sarah's 24-year old sister was also living with them. The State of MA held a Census in 1855. Joseph and his family were living in Ward 6 of Newburyport and a son had now been born (he was 3 at this time), so they had 6 children. In the 1860 Census, Joseph's family was still with him in Newburyport and he is listed as owning $700 in real estate. MA had another Census in 1865. All his children are still living with him. Joseph's mother had just died the year before, in 1864. In the 1870 Census, Joseph and Sarah were in their 50s. It notes that he owns real estate valued at $400 and personal property valued at $1000. They have 4 adult children still living with them, no occupations listed for any of them. Annetta 28, Ada (assumed to be Ariadna) 22, and (Joseph) Gilman 18 According to the Municipal Register in Newburyport, MA for 1872, Joseph C. Adams was in the Common Council representing Ward 6. Joseph owned a home and blacksmith shop in 1872 located at 2 Merrimac Court. In the 1880 Census, Joseph is still living with his wife, his daughter Emma who is 35 and listed as a saleswoman and a granddaughter Nellie M. who is 4. Nellie May's gravestone says she died in 1886. Joseph's wife Sarah passed away Jan 11 1892. They had been married 53 years. On the 1900 Census Joseph is enumerated in Newington, NH, with his daughter Sarah and her husband Frederick DeRochemont (my 3rd great grandparents), his daughter Annetta now 57, and Sarah and Fred's children Frederick (23), Harry (32) and Harry's wife Annie and their 3 children Mabel, John, and Lawrence. In 1907 Joseph was living with his daughter Emily and her husband in Newburyport when he died at the age of 91 from heart disease. Emily did not know her grandmother's (Sally's) maiden name and misreported her grandfather's name as Joseph--though this is understandable as Ebenezer had died in 1820 when Joseph was only 5, long before Emily was born, so Emily never knew her grandfather. The newspaper stated that he had been returned to Newington for burial. Joseph and Sarah are buried in Newington. Their granddaughter Nellie is buried beside them. | ADAMS, Joseph Colbath (I399)

| 198 | 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. | DEROCHEMONT, Frederick William (I878)

| 199 | 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. | DEROCHEMONT, Herbert Stanley (I414)

| 200 | According to cousin Amelia (Garland) Patch, Frances gave birth to twins who both died. She said no one knew who the father of the children was. "It could have been almost anyone in Newington", said she even though Amelia and Frances were always good friends. | DEROCHEMONT, Frances Marie (I812)
