1Letter from Mrs. Chas Webber to Mr. Alexander Fowler, Copy in Personal Files of Dianne Z. Stevens. "Denver, Colorado, August 10, 1949
Mr. Alexander Fowler
Vreeland Avenue,
Boontown, New jersey
Dear Mr. Fowler,
Through Eulalia Chapman of the Denver Public Library, and May B. Leonard, assistant Librarian of the Morristown Library of Morristown, New jersey, I have learned of your research concerning the De Mouth family.
I am a descendant of that family and am interested in additional information.
Here is some of the information I have - some as handed down by our grandmother and some from Morristown Library and our Library here.
Our grandmother Semantha Demouth, born in 1836 in Morris County, daughter of John Demouth. Brothers and sister were Samuel, Chalon, James, Jacob, and Frances. Semantha married Bradley Webster and Frances married Joseph Barber. John Demouth was one of the nine children of Jacob De Mouth. These were Frederick, Adam, James, John, Thomas, Jacob, Mary, Betsey, and Charlotte.
"Jacob was a prominent public man. He was Justice of the Peace of Pequat Township for thirty years." This according to family chronicle, and I have discovered that it was Pequannock Township and find records of marriage performed by him covered the years from 1816 to 1829. The name Pequot is confused with the records of the first Mudge, Gen. Jarvis Mudge, who lived in Pequot, now New London, in 1649. My grandmother was not sixteen when she married so it was easy to see how she could get the names confused. She did not learn to read and write until after her marriage.
John Demouth, father of Semantha, married Mariah Levi in 1818, who came down from Connecticut to live with her brother (Oliver Levi, no doube, who married Mary Levi in 1816). Also the Rockaway records mention that Thomas Demouth married Betsy Levi of Litchfield, Connecticut. The children of William Levi, the Hessian who married the widow Lamb, were William, Oliver, John, Phoebe, Mariah, Betsy, and twins Frances and Elizabeth who died in infancy. So three Demouths married Levis.
The first settlers of Litchfield from whom John and Thomas De Mouth's mother descended were the Mudges on her mother's side. But as far as I can find out the Widow Lamb's maiden name was not Mudge, although an Abigail Mudge was an ancestor. William Levi was a Hessian who deserted during the Revolutionary War and remained in America. He was crippled with one foot shorter than the other and a miller by trade. The descendants of Thomas De Mouth might know just who was the wife of William Levi.
We have the account of the "Beautiful stone Mansion in which Jacob DeMouth was born in 1770 and which he as an only child inherited. In 1810 he freed his thirty slaves as his conscience would not let him keep them. It was in this house that his nine children were born." I would like to know if the DeMouth house near Newfoundland and the "old De Mott Place" on Pompton Plains and the house of Jacob DeMouth are the same. If so, then the DeMouths must be descendants of Hendrick DeMott born in 1715 who came into possession of the place. He had twelve children. Possibly Jacob Demouth born in 1770 was a grandson of Hendrick but there is a conflict of dates. He was born in the "stone mansion" and Peter Snyder was in possession in1773 according to a letter from May B. Leonard. I have heard my grand mother describe this old stone house but about the only thing I remember was that the white wash was over an inch thick. And she thought the railroad cut through there and the house or part of it was destroyed. Frank Barber, a son of Frances Demouth Barber, visited the place in 1936 and at least part of it was standing. We have lost all touch with these relatives as that generation is gone.
Grandmother's stories were a mixture of Connecticut and New Jersey and are confused in my mind.
John Demouth lived for two years after his marriage in Connecticut, then returned to New Jersey, where his children were raised. He was killed by a falling tree in Wisconsin in 1861.
Any additional information I can get would be most welcome.
May B. Leonard stated that in 1944 the Library received a letter from Victor E. DeMouth, Pfc. Ward #100, Hospital #2, Fort Bragg, N.C. He had worked on his family for a number of years. I know of no way to get in touch with him, but will send a letter to that address.
Very truly yours,
Mrs. Chas. O. Webber
