During the Great Depression, to give the men who came to the door asking for food some dignity, she would give them sandwiches in return for sweeping the walk. Worked as a commercial artist, loved to paint. Took care of Emma until her husband Abe was diagnosed with cancer.

358 Family tradition asserts that the ancestors of the Doremus family were originally from France, in which case the name may be a corruption of de Rheims, signifying that they came from that ancient town, or since they were of French origin, the name may be derived from ore'ms, meaning prayer.

Margaret Valentine left a will dated June 22, 1871, proved May 12, 1874, #6411B, Hohokus Township, Bergen County, New Jersey, in which she devised to her five daughters, viz, Jane, Caty, Rachel, Mary and Leah, all wearing apparel, share and share alike. The remainder of the property, of whatever nature or kind, to her seven children now living, viz, David, Jacob, Jane, Caty, Rachel, Mary and Leah, share and share alike. Executor was son-in-law, Isaac J. Storms. Witnessed by Garret Van Gelder and Abraham B. Van Gelder. 
Doremus, Margaret (I0384)
 
359 Family tradition asserts that the Doremus family were originally from France, in which case the name may be a corruption of "de Heims", signifying that they came from that ancient town, or since they were of French origin, the name may be derived from "ore'mus", meaning prayer.

Cornelis d'Oremus, bachelor from Breskens was betrothed to Janneke Joris van Elsland, spinster from Groede, at de Groed April 21, 1675. They were married on record (or certificate) from here at Arnemuyden on May 12, 1675. Attest: Franciscus van Roosbeke, minister in that place.

Arnemuyden, where Cornelis Doremus and Jannetje Joris were married is a short distance east of Middleburg. It dates back to the thirteenth century, but has undergone so many vicissitudes by fire and war that it had only about 1500 inhabitants (circa 1897) whose principle occupation was fishing.

Breskens and Groede, the respective places of residence of Cornelis Doremus and Jannetje Joris, are in the northern part of the Province of Laan, which lies next south of the isalnd of Welcheren, of which Middleburg is the capital. Groede had about 12, 500 inhabitants around 1897. Breskens was smaller.
The Province of Laan is the most southwesterly of Holland and is next north of Belgium. The proximity of Breskens to Belgium might easily account for a migration from the latter country, or from France.

Middleburg is a famous town, the chief city of the Province of Zeeland, situated on the island of Walcheren, in the southwestern part of Holland.

A careful examination of the baptismal records led to the inference that Cornelis Doremus was the son of Hendrick Doremus and that he came to America before September 1684, the date of baptism of his son, Thomas at Bergen, New Jersey. Jannetje Joris was evidently the daughter of Joris Matthyssen and the sister of Matthys Joris.

The first settler in the area and his children were all called "Doremus" with very little variation in the spelling. Their two sons, Cornelis and Johannes were both born in Middleburg, Holland. Although folklore had it that a third son died on the voyage and was buried at sea.

361 Frederick Brown left a will dated January 1, 1766, proved February 19, 1767, Phillipsburgh, Westchester County, New York, in which he stated, "With the permission of Col.

362 From Jonothan Arnow, May 2, 2000:

Morgan Secord, the Secord family genealogist, had the Arnaud Bible. Morgan wrote an article around 1930 about Mary Secord Renoud (Arnaud, Arnow). Apparently she was arrested by General Howe's troops for stealing water from the well that was in back of the Pugsley house on North Street, in New Rochelle, New York during the Revolutionary War. It seems good old General Howe and his troops had depleted the water supply of all the local farms in the area, including Mary Renaud's well. She had a young family and needed water and walked down the hill and filled her buckets with what was necessary to keep them going. Finally the guards stopped her and put her under arrest. She told General Howe that her well had run dry and that she and her husband, father-in-law and two brothers were Tory sympathizers and that they had all gone to White Plains before this incident, and sworn allegiance to the King in 1775. General Howe let her go and posted an armed guard on Mary Renoud's well for the duration of the British stay in the area.

363 From NY Times:
Gerald J. Multer, Executive, 61

Published: January 16, 1991
Gerald J. Multer, a founder of Planned Communication Services, which produces television and radio public-service campaigns, died on Sunday in Miami. He was 61 years old and lived in North Miami.

He died of a heart attack, said his wife, the former Elaine Simmons.

Mr. Multer retired as chairman of the Manhattan-based company last year. Before co-founding Planned Communications Services in 1962, he was vice president of Central Feature News Service.

He was born in Brooklyn and attended City College and New York University.

In addition to his wife, he is survived, by his mother, Cele Lipman of North Miami Beach; two children by a previous marriage, Barbara Multer of Hoboken, N.J., and Andrew, of Brooklyn, and two stepchildren, Cheryl Dusek of Miami and Keith Simmons of Detroit.

364 From the Mss. marriage records of the Tappan Church (NYG&B.Soc. Lib) we find the following item (p-99).
"June 1, 1789 Peter Willse and Famiche Gisnaer, both of Tappan were married." This shows that a Famiche Gesnaer married a Peter Willse as stated in the Gesner Genealogy, but it does not establish her parentage. It seems queer that in a family where the baptisms of 9 children are duly and chronologically registered that the baptism of the 10th should not likewise be recorded. It is noted that her date of birth is given in Gesner Genealogy, and while this date of birth as there given harmonizes with the marriage date, yet I am not convinced that this Famiche Gesner was the daughter of John (2), son of Hendrick Gesner, and give this record soley on the authority of the Gesner Genealogy." J. R. Totten, "new York Genealogical and Biographical Record," Vol. 61, --126.

"The Comany of Foreign Companies," having been organized in 1588 for the purpose of exploring a north-east passage to the Indies around the coasst of Asia, was an individual named Hendrick Kype, ancestor of a highly respectable family in the State of New York. Hendrick left his family in Amsterdam and came to Net Netherlands in 1635. However, soon after, he returned to Holland where he died. Hendrick's sons remained in this country and seem to have had considerable enterprise. They secured large tracts of land and held prominent offices under Keift and Peter Stuyvesant, down to the conquest by the English in 1664. A grant of land was made in 1638 to the Kip family, called "Kip's Bay. In the center of the island were the possessions of the De Lanceys. Opposite, on Long Island, was the grant to the Laurence family. Across the Harlem River, is Morrissanea, given to the Morris family. On the East River, was the De Lancey's farm, another grant to that powerful family; while on the Hudson to the west, was the lower Van Courtlandt Manor, and the Phillipse Manor. The upper manor of the Van Courtlandt's was at Peekskill, then the Manor of Livingston, the Beekmans, then the Manor of Kipsburgh, purchased by the Kip family from the Indians in 1686, and made a royal grant by Governor Dongan, two years later.
In 1641 Hendrick built a home at Kip's Bay of bricks imported from Holland, a part of which was later rebuilt in 1670 and 1696. Five generaltions of the Kip family have been born in this home.

Hendrick was a Schepen and Great Burgher between 1656 and 1657 in New Amsterdam. Reportedly died in New York around 1665?

388 I was told that she was orphaned in Austria, and her (wealthy) uncle from (Argentina?) sent her passage from Austria to NYC. He went to NYC to meet her, but her boat ran aground, and was days or even weeks late. Due to urgent business matters, when he was unable to wait for her any longer, he returned home, leaving her fare to travel to South America with some relatives (names unknown). Here is where the story gets even sadder - supposedly when she arrived, the relatives told her he'd decided he didn't want her, keeping her and the money, in turn writing the uncle, telling him that she wanted to stay in NY. When Uncle Abe investigated the matter for Emma many years later, he learned that her uncle died many years earlier, and his estate reverted to the state as no heirs came forward. The story continues that when dying, the cousin who did this told the truth to Emma, asking her forgiveness. And Emma refused, upset that she had been separated from her uncle who loved and wanted her.
