NOTES ON BIBLE ENTRIES: Research reveals that Stephen [Sherwood] DuBois, (c. 1817 - 1899, son of John and Caty DuBois) and Mary Brown (Orsor) DuBois (1821 - 1914, daughter of John and Susan (Brown) Orsor) resided in Manhattan and in Flushing, Queens, NYC. Stephen S. DuBois was a coach painter and carriage maker, presumably involved in the operation of a horse racetrack located in Manhattan in the 1860's. Stephen and Mary's daughter Mary Susan DuBois married Richard Hill and resided in Flushing; Stephen and Mary's daughter Effie V. DuBois married Walter Stuart and resided in Brooklyn (their son, Stephen S. Stuart's death is noted here); Stephen and Mary's daughter Amanda [Livingston] DuBois married Frank Chace and resided in Fall River, MA; Stephen and Mary's son George DuBois was living in Boston in 1914. Stephen S. and Mary Brown (Orsor) DuBois are buried at the Hawthorne Reformed Church Cemetery in Hawthorne (Westchester County), NY, as are a number of their children.
