John DeWitt, oldest son of Louis Bevier DeWitt (West Point, Orange County, New 
York) and Mary Brawsrtoni (unsure of all the letters in the last name) was born 
31 May 1854 (sic. I believe in Baltimore, Baltimore County, Maryland. )

John married Florence Eleanor Buchanan on 4 December 1876 in Newport, Campbell 
County, Kentucky. In the St. Pauls Episcopal Church by Rector Rev William 
Pettis. Florence is the third daughter of Henry Buchanan (of Botetourt County,
