2Lois Wells Wilson, edited by Warren E. Wilson, 1989, Family History of the Ancestors of Lois Eleanor Wells, Personal files of Dianne Z. Stevens, 1301 Reetz Road, Madison, WI 53711. "Early records, and the De Mouths themselves, frequently spelled the name differently, so it was necessary to search for information on these ancestors under such spellings as De Muth, Demont, De Mont, Dumont, Demit, Demet, Demott, De Mott, De Met, Demun, Demund, Demut, De Mutt, Dumon, Dumond, Dumot, Du Mott, Du Mond, De Muthe, and De Mouth. In France the name was often written "de Mathe", as is shown in more than one transaction we found. In "Notorial Records from 1603 to 1665" Pierre Sanxy is listed as attorney for Joachim and Clorinde de Mathe, his wife. (Our branch of the family always pronounced the name to rhyme with "Vermouth" regardless of how it was spelled.)
The earliest De Muths came over before the Huguenot troubles in France, colonized the Bergen, N.J. area and had large landholdings dating from 1624 in and near Boonton, N.J. The De Mott Hill and Cemetery there still exist. They say that Abner De Mouth lived like a feudal lord; he had 7000 acres of land, had his own brewery and his own blacksmith shop, all on his own place.
Our direct ancestral De Mouths were Huguenots, natives of France who fled from there at the time of Louis XIV when he revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685. (The Edict had been promulgated by Henry IV in 1598 and had given the Huguenots almost a hundred years of peace.) The Revocation created a period called the "Reign of Terror" by those who endured the persecution, who had all their property confiscated, who were forbidden to worship as Protestants and whose lives were threatened if they failed to conform or tried to escape. Their ministers were nearly all executed. Fortunate escapees fled to Germany and Holland.
Three De Mott brothers and other members of their family escaped from Brittany and fled to Holland. They waited there ten years for any of their retainers who might wish to accompany them to the New World and who might find ways to escape from France to join them. One of the brothers received a large land grant from Holland to property up beyond Boonton in New Jersey. In 1709 these three families came to America. Some settled in the Boonton area where earlier De Mouths had colonized; the little towns and hills and cemeteries thereabouts still bear the family name. Others settled down in Somerset and they gradually spread out all over Rockaway Valley.
Many early family records have now been lost but history records that two of these brothers, Jacob and Frederick De Mouth, from 1709 to 1730 recorded legal papers and deeds to property at New Foundland in Rockaway Township and elsewhere in Rockaway Valley. The records. refer to them as "Jacob and Frederick De Mouth, first settlers of Rockaway Valley". These records spell their names variously as De Mathe, De Mott, De Mouth, De Muthe or De Muth. In 1730 Jacob built a sturdy house of stone for his family not far from New Foundland near the site of the old Clinton Reservoir. His grandson, also named Jacob, is the first of our De Mouth ancestors in America for whom we have exact and complete dates: he was born in 1763 and died March 22, 1835.
The old stone house was occupied for a time by a De Mouth daughter whose husband, Peter Snyder, built an addition to the house and a new entry way. Above the door he set a triangular stone with the Mysterious-looking inscription P.X.S. 1773. It was occupied by our direct ancestors for five generations. The last to live there before it was destroyed was Margaret De Mouth who married Theodore Denman in 1854. Her daughter, Suzanne Denman, as a very young woman, went to visit the site and got the above information from the man who occupied the next farm, Thomas De Mouth. . . Suzanne (Suzanne Denman Vincett, who first researched genealogical data for this book and who collected most of the data).".
