Therefore, I don't know what happened to the daughter, Mary C. DeWitt, b Jan 1887. Assuming we have identified this family group correctly, it would be daughter Mary C. DeWitt who wrote "My father" on the back of that photograph. Ten Eyck DeWitt is buried in the Hurley Cemetery (old portion), as published in Poucher's Old Gravestones of Ulster County (1930): 4.
