| 1884 | 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 Rockingham Court 279-186 Thomas B Leighton as administrator of the estate of Christopher Rymes, deceased and late of Newington, blacksmith sold to John S Pickering the Rymes home and outbuildings along with 52 acres plus a driftway across the old Shackford Farm across the road and to the Piscataqua River. The driftway was to be used for unloading goods and lumber at the beach landing on the old Shackford Farm. Signed 20 Nov 1834. Recorded 28 Dec 1835. 297-321 John S Pickering sold to FW deRochemont for $2800 above property of home with 52 acres plus an additional 14 acres. Derochemont was also to pay the 1838 mortgage given on the property to St John's Church. Mary J Pickering released dower. Signed 24 March 1840. Recorded 6 April 1840. 561-64 Frederick W Derochemont and Maria Louisa Derochemont sold for $4,000 the above property of 52 acres plus buildings as well as 14 additional acres to Clarence Derochemont. He was obligated to assume the payment of the mortgage of $833 mortgage given to St John's Church. Signed 11 April 1881. Recorded 8 June 1897. * In 1895 (546-372) Clarence borrowed $1400 from Henry A and son Harry B Yeaton and gave the property above, including the 14 acres as collateral. There are various tax liens on Clarence Derochmont property in Greenland somewhere in Packer's Bog. It was eventually given in a tax forfeit in 1979 by Clarence's estate. | DEROCHEMONT, Frederick William (I721)

| 1886 | The 12th-century historian, Henry of Huntingdon, in his Historia Anglorum, relates that when Siward was attacked by dysentery, fearing to die "like a cow" and wishing rather to die like a soldier, he clothed himself in armour and took to hand an axe and shield. Ennobled in such a manner, Siward died. Siward was probably of Scandinavian origin, perhaps a relative of Earl Ulf, and emerged as a powerful regional strongman in England during the reign of Cnut ("Canute the Great", 1016-1035). Cnut was a Scandinavian ruler who conquered England in the 1010s, and Siward was one of the many Scandinavians who came to England in the aftermath of that conquest. Siward subsequently rose to become sub-ruler of most of northern England. From 1033 at the latest Siward was in control of southern Northumbria, that is, present-day Yorkshire, governing as earl on Cnut's behalf. | SIWARD (I7475)

| 1887 | The 1860 Census enumerates Sally Ann living with her mother, Mary Jane (Adams) Dearborn, her sister Mary Jane, and her grandmother Sally Adams, thus demonstrating the lineage from Sally Ann Dearborn to Sally Adams and Sally's late husband Ebenezer Adams Jr. In 1862, Sally Ann married James Pickering. In the 19 May 1903 Portsmouth Herald under the South Eliot section, it notes that, "Joseph Adams, one of the oldest residents of Newburyport, Mass., who has been the guest of his niece Mrs. S.A. Pickering, is en route for home, visiting Dover on the way." This demonstrates that Joseph Adams was Mary Jane Adam's brother and therefore the child of Ebenezer and Sally (Colbath) Adams | DEARBORN, Sally Ann (I503)

| 1890 | The Adams family in America stems from the emigrant Henry Adams, who married Edith Squire and settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. His many children emigrated with him, including a son Joseph. The Adams family was among the early settlers in the British colony to set roots in this new land of opportunities. Henry Adams emigrated from Somerset, England in 1638, he had 10 children. Three of his sons were involved in politics. Lt. Thomas Adams served in the Massachusetts Government Council, Cap. Samuel Adams served in the Massachusetts General Court and John Adams I was a Massachusetts Selectman. John Adams I was the grand father of Deacon Samuel Adams. Little did he know that two members of his family would become presidents of the United States. WikiTree Research: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Adams-277 | ADAMS, Henry (I576)

| 1891 | The Attack at Oyster River The sound of the shot echoed all along the river, prematurely signaling the start of the attack. The parties close to the falls were in position, but those whose targets were further down river had yet to reach them. This provided an opportunity for some settlers to escape or prepare for defense. The units not yet in position hastened toward their targets, pitching into whatever they came across. The carefully constructed plan quickly degenerated into wholesale slaughter. The attack on the south bank of the Oyster River was pressed with brutal ferocity. The family of Stephen and Ann Jenkins tried to escape the carnage by fleeing into their cornfield. In a June 1695 deposition, Mrs. Jenkins described what happened: "in the morning about the dawning of the day my husband being up went out of the dore, and presently returning cried to me and our children to run for our lives, for the Indians had beset the town: whereupon my husband and myself fled with our children into our cornfield, & at our entrance into the field, Bomazeen, whome I have seen since . . . , came towards us and about ten Indians more: & the sd Bomazeen then shot at my husband and shote him down, ran to him & struck him three blows on the head with a hatchet, scalped him & run him three times with a bayonet. I also saw the said Bomazeen knock one of my children on the head & tooke of [f]her scalp & then put the child into her father's armes; and then stabbed the breast. And Bomazeen also then killed my husband's grandmother and scalped her." [119]Bomazeen took Ann and her remaining children captive. Binding them securely, he moved on to the next home. The Drew garrison was the next to be struck. Francis Drew, the patriarch, made a dash for the Adams garrison to seek help, but was easily captured. He was bound and dragged back to within sight of his home, which he then surrendered on the promise of quarter. The promise of quarter was not upheld. Francis Drew was summarily tomahawked as his family was taken captive. Francis' wife was eventually abandoned by her captors and left to die in the woods. Nine year old Benjamin Drew was forced to run a gauntlet of Indians as a moving target for their tomahawks. Struck repeatedly, he could run no more. [120]Thomas Drew and his wife, Tamsen, were also taken prisoner. In 1698, Tamsen testified to her experience: "they heard a great Tumult and Noise of firing of Guns which awakened her out of her sleep, and she understanding that the Indians were in arms & had encompassed the House, willing to make her escape, she endeavored & att last got out the window and fled, but the Indians firing fast after her she returned to the House and her father-in-law [Francis Drew]took [her]by the hand and haled her into the House again, where upon she endeavored to get out at another window, but the Indians had besett that, so she returned to the other room where her friends were, and the window of that Room being open an Indian named Bombazine [Bomazeen]caught hold of her Arm and pulled her out att the Window & threw her violently upon the ground, she being then with child." [121]Tamsen's captors killed the child a short time after birth. However, after some four years of captivity, Tamsen was reunited with her husband. Beyond the Drew garrison, near the mouth of the river, stood the garrison of Charles Adams. A party of warriors had just finished moving into position when they heard the shot that killed John Dean. They gained entry to the house undetected. In an instant, the warriors set upon the sleeping family. Within minutes, Charles Adams and fourteen members of his household had been tomahawked in their beds. The only survivor was a daughter named Mercy. Her captors carried her to Canada, where she remained for the rest of her life. | MESTRE** DIT PLAGNOL-ADAMS, Marie-Ursule "Mercy" (I16932)

| 1893 | The Carolingians were ambitious, and Pepin’s ambition included his goal of partnering the Frankish kingdom with the Papacy in Rome for an arrangement of mutual advantage. With this end in mind, he dispatched envoys to Pope Zacharias. The messengers brought a letter to the Pope, which asked whether it was wise for a country to be ruled by powerless kings. Zacharias was able to translate Pepin’s meaning and responded that by his authority, he decreed that Pepin III was to be crowned the King of the Franks. In 750, the Mayor of the Palace, Pepin III the Short—his name refers not to his height but to his birth order, Pepin Le Bref or “Younger,” deposed King Childeric III, ushering in a new dynasty, the Carolingians, as the last Merovingian sought refuge—and no doubt, the hope of a longer life—in a monastery. In 751, Archbishop Boniface anointed Pepin III as king. Historical opinion often seems to regard him as the lesser son and lesser father of two greater men, though a great man in his own right. He continued to build up the heavy cavalry which his father had begun. He maintained the standing army that his father had found necessary to protect the realm and form the core of its full army in wartime. He not only contained the Iberian Muslims as his father had, but drove them out of what is now France and, as important, he managed to subdue the Aquitanians and the Basques after three generations of on-off clashes, so opening the gate to central and southern Gaul and Muslim Iberia. He continued his father's expansion of the Frankish church (missionary work in Germany and Scandinavia) and the institutional infrastructure (feudalism) that would prove the backbone of medieval Europe. His rule, while not as great as either his father's or son's, was historically important and of great benefit to the Franks as a people. | PEPIN (I7195)

| 1898 | The daughter of King Henry I of England, she moved to Germany as a child when she married the future Holy Roman Emperor Henry V. She travelled with her husband into Italy in 1116, was controversially crowned in St. Peter's Basilica, and acted as the imperial regent in Italy. Matilda and Henry had no children, and when Henry died in 1125, the crown was claimed by Lothair II, one of his political enemies. On Henry V's death, Matilda was recalled to Normandy by her father, who arranged for her to marry Geoffrey of Anjou to form an alliance to protect his southern borders. Henry I had no further legitimate children and nominated Matilda as his heir, making his court swear an oath of loyalty to her and her successors, but the decision was not popular in the Anglo-Norman court. Henry died in 1135 but Matilda and Geoffrey faced opposition from the Norman barons and were unable to pursue their claims. The throne was instead taken by Matilda's cousin Stephen of Blois, who enjoyed the backing of the English Church. In 1139 Matilda crossed to England to take the kingdom by force, supported by her half-brother, Robert of Gloucester, and her uncle, King David I of Scotland, while Geoffrey focused on conquering Normandy. Matilda's forces captured Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, but the Empress's attempt to be crowned at Westminster collapsed in the face of bitter opposition from the London crowds. As a result of this retreat, Matilda was never formally declared Queen of England, and was instead titled the Lady of the English. The war degenerated into a stalemate, with Matilda controlling much of the south-west of England, and Stephen the south-east and the Midlands. Large parts of the rest of the country were in the hands of local, independent barons. Matilda returned to Normandy, now in the hands of her husband, in 1148, leaving her eldest son to continue the campaign in England; he eventually succeeded to the throne as Henry II in 1154. | MATILDA, Empress (I464)

| 1899 | The dynasty that ruled Scotland for much of the medieval period claimed descent from him. Kenneth Mac Alpin was the son of Alpin and generally regarded as the founder of medieval Scotland. Battling against Norse (Viking) raids, he brought some unification between the Gaels and the Picts to found a united kingdom of Alba or Scotia. Kenneth MacAlpin is considered by some as the founding father of Scotland and often compared to Alfred the Great in England. Kenneth is believed to have died from a tumour at Forteviot near Perth and was succeeded by his brother Donald. | MACALPIN, Kenneth (I7316)

| 1900 | The eldest son of Stephen and Margaret (Cooke) Williams, of St. Nicholas Parish, Great Yarmouth, England. He was baptized 11 Dec 1608. In 1623, he left his father's house and went to Norwich where he was apprenticed to be a cordwainer. He embarked for Boston on 20 Jun 1637 on the ship "Rose" and after arrival in Roxbury became a freeman on 2 May 1638. From 1647-1653 he was one of the 5 selectmen there. In 1644 he became a member of the Ancient and Honorble Artillery Company. The homestead of Robert Williams (1644), in which five generations of the family lived and died, remained standing until 1794, upon the site now occupied by the large brick dwelling-house on Dearborn Street, near the school-house. He came from Norwich, England, "and is the common ancestor of the divines, civilians, and warriors of this name, who have honored the country of their birth." Among his distinguished descendants are Col. Ephraim Williams, founder of Williams College ; Rev. Elisha, president of Yale College ; William, Governor of Connecticut, and a signer of the Declaration of Independence; Col. Joseph, of Roxbury, and Rev. Eleazer, he " lost Bourbon." Robert was married to Elizabeth Stalham (1597-1674). They had 4 childen, their daughter Elizabeth (1620-62) married Richard Cutter (1621-93). The Williams families of America descend from more than a score of different ancestors. That several of them were related to Richard of Taunton seems certain, but the degree has not been traced in various instances. The immigrant ancestor of the following family was the progenitor of a race unusually prolific of divines, civilians and warriors of the name who have honored the country of their birth. The number and high character and strong influence of the ministers of the gospel of this family is remarkable. Among the distinguished men of the family have been the founder of Williams College, a bishop of the diocese of Connecticut, a president of Yale College, a chief justice, and many other learned and useful men. (I) Robert Williams appears by name among the early members of the church in Roxbury, Massachusetts, where he became a freeman, May 2. 1638. The place of his birth and early life was for a long time a matter of conjecture: but in 1893, two hundred years after his death, there was found in Norwich, England, an indenture of apprenticeship of Nicholas, son of the late Stephen Williams, of Yarmouth, cordwainer (shoemaker), to Robert Williams, and another record stating that Robert was in 1635 warden of the guild of cordwainers and sealer of leather for the city of Norwich. Later was found in the register of the church of St. Nicholas at Great Yarmouth, a record of the marriage of Stephen Williams and Margaret Cooke, September 22, 1605. Also baptisms of the following named children: Robert, December 11, 1608, Nicholas, August 11, 1616: John, February 2, 1618; Frances, June 10, 1621. There was an elder sister Ann; Robert was born in July, 1607; was baptized when eighteen months old in December, 1608; was married to Elizabeth Stalham probably before 1630. and had four children, two sons and two daughters, born to him in England, all of whom accompanied him to America. In 1905 it was discovered that Elizabeth Stalham was baptized in 1595, which shows that she was nearly thirteen years older than her husband. "She was of a good family and had been delicately reared and when her husband desired to come to America, though a truly religious woman, she dreaded the undertaking and shrunk from the hardships to be encountered. While the subject was still under consideration she had a dream foreshadowing that if she went to America she would become the mother of a long line of worthy ministers of the gospel. The dream so impressed her that she cheerfully rose up and began to prepare to leave her home and kindred for the new and distant land." The dream was fulfilled, but not in the mother's day. for she died October 24, 1674, leaving no son in the christian ministry. Nine years afterward, her grandsons, John and William Williams, cousins, graduated from Harvard College, two of a class of three and the day of fulfillment began. Robert Williams was much interested in education and made liberal arrangements to assist the free schools, was a subscriber to and for many years a trustee of the funds raised for their benefit, and was one of the most influential men in town affairs. He disposed of his property by will, which is still extant. The children of John and Elizabeth, so far as known, were: Samuel, Mary, a daughter, John, Isaac, Stephen, Thomas. From: New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial: A Record of the ....Volume 4, pages 2081 - 2085 Edited by William Richard Cutter Lewis historical publishing company, 1913 Robert Williams, known as “Robert Williams of Roxbury”, was the first of this line in America. He was the son of Stephen Williams of Great Yarmouth, County Norfolk; and the grandson of Robert Williams of West Somerton, of a sixteenth century family which reaches back to a considerable antiquity residing in that town. Robert Williams of Roxbury was born in July, 1607; baptized at Great Yarmouth, Dec. 11, 1608; was a freeman of Norwich in 1630; and warden of his Guild in 1635. He was a cordwainer, or shoemaker, at the time when that term included the entire business, from the capitalist who supplied the place of manufacture to the cobbler who drove the pegs. Before coming to America, Robert Williams married Elizabeth Stalham (or Stratton). She was a gentlewoman, unaccustomed to hardships, and demurred to the proposed emigration; but she was very devout. So when she had a vision which predicted that, if she went to America she would become the foremother of a long line of worthy ministers of the gospel, she hesitated no longer. Of course the prophecy could not be fulfilled in her day; but Robert Williams of Roxbury is the ancestor of many divines, civilians, and other worthies who have honored the county of their birth. Robert Williams of Norwich emigrated to Massachusetts in 1637, coming in the “John and Dorothy”, of Ipswich, and arriving in Boston, June 20, 1637. (Another record says that he sailed from Great Yarmouth on the ship “Rose”, and landed in Boston in 1635.) He was freeman of Roxbury, Mass., in 1638; and member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1644. He was one of the substantial contributors to the first free school in America - a fact which should give great satisfaction to his descendants. His wife Elizabeth died at Roxbury, July 8, 1674. His second wife was Martha Strong, who died Dec. 22, 1704. He died in 1693. His grave cannot be located in the Roxbury burying-ground, though those of his wife Elizabeth and his son Samuel are found.
