De Witt. He was born on 1 September 1826 in Salisbury, Herkimer County, New York. In about 1852 Alfred married his first wife, Polina , Elwood. This marriage produced two children. Polina died in 1861 or 1862 in New York State where she was most likely buried. In about 1863 Alfred married his second wife, Lydia Ann Williams. Lydia was born 13 April 1836 also in New York to Dexter and Maria Williams. It is not known as of this writing how many siblings she may have had. The marriage between Alfred and Lydia most likely took place in New York State and produced twelve children, the first three of which were born in New York State. Sometime between 1865 and 1867 Alfred and Lydia left New York and ended up in Michigan, Ingham County. Elmer French De Witt was their seventh child. It is not known if Elmer ever married, but the fact that he lived to be 72 years of age and he is buried with his parents, it is assumed that he had no wife or children.
