  • Notes 
    • All my info here came from Debbie Patch:

      Tikwis Begby of Melbourne, Australia sent me the following, "Carle Pieter Wilhelm de Rochemont,
      magazinjn-en waagmeester te Demerary 1790". This would place Carle in Demerara by this date.
      Waag means "scales", meester "master", magazine probably in the artillery sense.
      A little pamphlet entitled "Commemorative Gathering. Notes of Proceedings at the Meeting of the
      De Rochemont Family, at Newington, on Piscataqua. August 23, 1866", was published in Boston
      by Rockwell and Rollins, Printers, 122 Washington St. In it is a short history of the family as it
      was known in 1866. It mentions that one of Maximilian's ancestors was a Huguenot minister who
      had settled in Holland. It also says "we find it recorded" that Maximilien was born in Tournay,
      French Flanders, Sept. 24, 1781.
      The pamphlet further states that Maximilian's father was a captain of cavalry, a soldier, a brave
      man. He moved from Tournay to Amsterdam and then to Demerara, a Dutch colony, where he
      was ordered with his troop. He took with him his wife, his brother, and his six children--four boys
      and two girls. One girl, it states, married the de Wit. The mother, father, and father's brother
      subsequently died from the "colony fever". The children, orphans, returned to Amsterdam where
      they were cared for by an aunt, the teacher of a seminary. According to the appendix of the
      Commemorative Gathering notes with information given by Charles Peter William De Rochemont,
      Charles was son of Abraham Fortunatus and named for his grandfather and great grandfather.

      Email describing our mutual relations and her family line
      Ah ha! I have Lucinda in my database, dau of John Derochemont and Elpsy May Shorey. John son of Harry and first wife Anna McKenzie of PEI. Harry son of Fred and Sarah! Bingo!

      My line is Fred DeR and Sarah Frances Adams> Amelia Blance DeR and second husband Albert Garland. my grandmother Amelia Julia Garland and Garland Patch> my parents Garland Patch and Ivene Severance > me, Deborah (Patch) Wilson.

      This is terrific. I have done tons of research on the Derochemonts and Dewitts. I have not uploaded onto Ancestry. Dragging my feet. I have original family papers as well as an original letter signed by Maximilian. Also some photos of Fred and Sarah Frances that I will be happy to share. They are my great greats. My grandmother talked of her grandparents, Fred and Sarah. She also talked about her mum's brother Harry.

      This is great! And to think you are right in Wakefield. I might also have a photo of Harry. Will check.

      Don't get lost now! Ha ha!

      Cousin Debbie
