Jane Marian Deyoe
Probably the wife of Lewis M. Adams, married in 1833, and the mother of Susan Marriah (Adams) Elliott; she lived at Wilton, Saratoga County, New York, and died there in 1892. Probably a daughter of Peter J. Deyoe and Elizabeth Esmond of Pittstown, through whom the family descends from the Huguenot founders of New Paltz. Her gravestone gives her birth as 1803, other records 1808 or 1809.

The tree's date is from her gravestone (Find a Grave 70659162). The Deyo genealogy has "b. 7-4-1809," WikiTree says "Censuses indicate that she was born in 1808, not 1803," and her family lived at Pittstown, Rensselaer County, until about 1832. 1808 or 1809 fits her parents, who were 20 and 21.

The Deyo genealogy's "d. 11-14-1843" is an error, very probably a slip for her marriage date: she bore a daughter in 1852 and is in the censuses of 1850-1865.
Family
- Father
- Peter J. Deyoe
The Deyo genealogy (1958) has "G-160 JANE MARIA, b. 7-4-1809 ... m. 11-14-1833 LEWIS M. ADAMS" under "F-86 PETER J. m. Elizabeth Esmond," lineage "James-Peter-Jacobus-Christian"; her brother was A. I. Esmond Deyoe. The tree has Peter J. born 2 Nov 1786 at Schaghticoke, 16 at her birth if she was born in 1803. Peter J.'s probate (Saratoga, 1857) would settle it.

Notes
Mother of Susan (Adams) Elliott and great-grandmother of Cudge Ellingwood. The daughter of Peter J. Deyoe and Elizabeth Esmond of Pittstown, she married Lewis M. Adams on 14 Nov 1833, as the Saratoga Sentinel announced it (source), and lived with him at Wilton for the rest of her life. Her birth year as the tree gives it, 1803, sits badly with both her parents’ and her husband’s (nine years younger); the Deyo genealogy’s 1809 and the censuses’ 1808 fit all three.
Through her the Ellingwoods descend from the Huguenot founders of New Paltz: her father’s line runs
James Deyoe, Peter Deyo of Pittstown (bp. 1739), Jacobus, Christian, and Pierre Deyo, a patentee of
1677, son of Chrétien Deyo, another. The Saratoga links rest on will abstracts in the 1958 genealogy,
and one has a conflict (see James Deyoe), so the line is probable
(research/ellingwood/Ellingwood_Wives_Families.md).
