Her maiden name was Sargent(Sergeant). But my question was more about digging into how the entry was in the census on Betsy's step brother, who was supposedly John DeForest. Was it John Deforest or John D. Forest? I have all of Rufus's brothers. Seth Cooper was his father, they lived in RI and came to the Unadilla Valley in a little hamlet called White Store, which I've heard is somewhat extinct now. Sorry to my knowledge there is no Jeremiahs'.
