Elizabeth DePuy
married 11 November 1772 (location? WikiTree says DRC at Wawarsing, both “of Wawarsing and living in Wawarsing”)(in Wawarsing church records; see Sources below, p. 51, Jan 1920)
baptized 20 May 1753 - 1 March 1820
daughter of Moses DePuy and Elizabeth Clearwater
birthplace
(Per Evans p. 13, Elizabeth’s baptism is recorded in Rochester, Ulster County, church records. I have not found a great online source for Rochester church records, though baptisms from 1795 to 1809 can be found at archive.org. Earlier records have apparently been transcribed—by both Dingman Versteeg and Jean Worden—and published at least in a limited edition, but copies are difficult to come by, so far.)
(Reuben’s brother Jacob marries Jennetje DePuy, 16 years earlier. Not clear whether Jennetje and Elizabeth are sisters or related in some other way.)
burial location: Wawarsing Cemetery, per Find-A-Grave:
in memory of Elizabeth, wife of Capt. Reuben DeWitt
who died March 1st 1820
aged 66 years, 10 mos & 13 days
(see Elizabeth’s WikiTree page for considerably more detailed information on her parents, siblings, and other records)

TGE 306. vii.
19 December 1789 (baptized 31 January 1790) - 25 March 1848
baptized in Wawarsing, Ulster County, New York
(Baptism record suggests Sara[h] was born 16 December 1789, Wawarsing, rather than 1790. Evans, p. 190, says born 19 December.)
married Tjerck Bevier (1785-1827) date & location
(Find-A-Grave [with no photos of headstone], WikiTree, and someone else all agree Tjerck was born 7 Feb 1793, son of Benjamin Bevier and Leah Roosa; Find-A-Grave says he died 7 October 1826. Sources listed online are The Bevier Family: Descendants of Louis Bevier, Patentee of New Paltz, New York, by Kenneth E. Hasbrouck, and Wawarsing church records; see Sarah’s page for further details. Tjerck’s family tree goes up Benjamin’s line to Benjamin Bevier [Sr.] and Elizabeth Van Keuren, daughter of Tjerck Van Keuren and Marritje Ten Eyck. Tjerck Van Keuren [1682-1742] is son of Tjaatje DeWitt MVDW 3, daughter of TCDW, so Tjerck Bevier is a distant cousin, several times removed, from Sara DeWitt. See also Sarah DeWitt’s listing on the Genealogical Society of Bergen County [New Jersey] site, derived from the notes of MVDW, which confirms more or less the same details.)
buried in Wawarsing Cemetery, Ulster County, New York, per Find-A-Grave, but no photo of grave (several family members’ headstones are there too, in photos)

Baptismal and Marriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston, Ulster County, New York (formerly named Wiltwyck, and often familiarly called Esopus or ’Sopus), for One Hundred and Fifty Years from their commencement in 1660. Transcribed and edited by Roswell Randall Hoes, Chaplain U.S.N., corresponding secretary of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, etc. New York 1891; original publication De Vinne Press, New York; available today from Higginson Book Co., Salem, Mass., 508-745-7170. Detailed information about baptisms has been filled in through the end of 1687, marriages through 1701. More information is available. Records begin 1660. Other baptisms may have taken place in Hurley and other locations nearby; also from time to time itinerant ministers would travel through and perform various rites, not always entered in the books.

Thomas Grier Evans, The De Witt Family of Ulster County, New York (reprinted from the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, October 1886), New York: Trow’s Printing and Bookbinding Co., 201-213 East Twelfth Street, 1886. Available online from archive.org.
Evans’s work, reprinted in 1886 up to the point where it left off in Volume XVIII of the Record, was continued in 1890 (Volume XXI, commencing on p. 185) with additional names and family numbering. The reprinted portion includes names of descendants to the fourth generation; the extension shows their descendants, the fifth generation, with considerable further biographical information on some. This later addition to Evans’s work (he also published details on other families that intermarried with DeWitts in Ulster County, including Crispells, Bruyns, and others) extended into Volume XXII (January 1891, pp. 3-6). (I include here links to some publicly available copies of the individual issue and articles from the Record, but a better way to get access to it and a wealth of other genealogical resources, in addition to supporting genealogical research in general, is to join the NYGBS itself.)
Marbletown, New York, baptism records at archive.org.
Napanoch Church Records should be somewhere (possibly titled Wawarsing). And sure enough, the Kerckelick Protocoll voor de Gemeynte van Wawarssinck (Church Record for the Congregation of Wawarsing), starting with the church’s dedication on 20 October 1745, was collected and transcribed separately by both the Holland Society and the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, which published the results in the Record, Volume 50, 1919 (available at archive.org), starting on Page 7 with a brief history of the church and of the transcription efforts. The NYGBS transcription is edited by Royden Woodward Vosburgh; he refers in his introduction to Dingman Versteeg’s 1898 transcription for the Holland Society. (Also worth a look: The Wikitree One Place Study of Wawarsing Hamlet, which gives a good concise history of the place with genealogy in mind, mentioning family names, some historical points of interest, and neighboring villages.)
The transcription was extensive, running through all four issues of the Record in 1919 and on into Volume 51 in 1920. The very first baptism recorded in the record is that of MVDW 135 Ruben, the son of Egbert DeWitt (MVDW 24, one of the founders of the congregation) and Maria Nottingham. Wawarsing church records can be found in New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Record, Vols. 50 and 51 (1919 and 1920), transcribed and edited by Royden Woodward Vosburgh (thanks WikiTree for this note).
I have not found a great online source for church records for Rochester in Ulster County, though baptisms from 1795 to 1809 can be found at archive.org. Earlier records have apparently been transcribed—by both Dingman Versteeg and Jean Worden—and published at least in a limited edition, but copies are difficult to come by, so far.
