Hi Betty & All, About 10 years ago - a Roger Dewhurst in Orange Co, CA came up with the idea of starting a DEWHURST FAMILY ASSOCIATION. We started working on it and collecting information from different Dewhurst families in this country. Roger sent me copies of the sheets as he put them into his computer. I was still doing genealogy by hand at that time. Unfortunately, the computer programs were not as sophisticated as they are now - and in most cases, I have nothing to show WHO sent the information to Roger Dewhurst back in 1989. I made a search today and found some of the papers from the "DFA" There was some info about Carl (Rosenon) Dewhurst - who had gone to Trinidad first - then NYC, then Bergen Co, NJ. Carl (Edward - Rosenon?) and wife Mary Steele had 6 children. Son Phillip Dewhurst died as an infant. Son Richard J. Dewhurst married Joan Brewer. They had a son Carl J. and another Richard B. Carl J married and has a child. Son Allen T. Dewhurst married and had 2 sons. I'll be happy to send you a print out with as many details as I have, if you send me an e-mail with your address. Back in '89 I was in contact with Joan (Brewer) Dewhurst - but I'll have to look harder to find the stack of letters from those days. I seem to remember that there were more details - but 10 years is too long for my memory <G> I know that Colleen was not mentioned in the papers we had. Thanks for that. MANY years ago - a friend asked my husband if he was related to Colleen. He said "we're probably cousins way back in time." Well, when Colleen died, this friend called up to offer her condolences. No way would she believe me that they didn't know one another!
