John Peter De Wint

DE WINT, John Peter, born in New York City in 1787; died in Fishkill, New York, 17 November 1870. At an early age he removed with his parents to Fishkill on the Hudson, where his father had purchased a large estate. He was a staunch republican and an eminent and wealthy eitizen.
His wife, Carelille Abigail Smith, was a daughter of Colonel William S. Smith, who served with distinction under Washington. She edited her mother's letters under the title of " The Correspondence of Miss Adams, daughter of John Adams" (New York and London. 1847). The greater number of these letters were written during Miss Adams's travels abroad before her marriage with Colonel Smith, which took place in London, 12 June 1786. Mrs. Smith died in Quincy, Massachusetts, on 14 August 1813, and in 1814 her daughter Caroline married Mr. De Wint.
