The DeWitt genealogy is a fascinating study of 26 generations of the family from 1293 to the present. This work is the collaboration of descendants of the three children of Leucas, ninth child of Tierck Clafsen DeWitt. American Ambassador Lester DeWitt Ballor of UEL descent obtained a copy from The Royal Library of the Hague of Beschayving DerStad Dordrecht by Mattys Balen, Jans Zoon published in 1677. This information provided the first thirteen generations in Holland. He also received a 32-page copy of a lawsuit in 1684 by Jan DeWitt on behalf of his brother Tierck for rent owned by Pieter Janz, their sister Faelde's husband. The property was land inherited by Tierck from his father Nicholaas. It provided information on her mother Taetje Cornelisz, her father, brothers and their shipyard.

This 2014 composition documents the initial findings of genealogical material for Betsy O'Neal, her immediate family and collateral relatives. Family Tree DNA mtDNA Full Sequence results confirm Haplogroup J1c2c for a maternal line descendant of Mrs. Betsy O'Neal. ScienceNews Magazine on March 9, 2013 announced that King Richard III's mtDNA signature was J1c2c. However, scientists are unaware if Betsy is a collateral descendant of King Richard III. Even though Betsy's maternal line is of European descent, regional archivists and genealogists conclude that Betsy and her family group were enumerated as Mulatto on the 1860 United States Slave Schedule, Darlington, South Carolina for Griffin O'Neal. In the book, the birth years covered range from 1814 to 1918. Family research citations are derived from state/county vital records, census records, cemetery surveys, and military records, to name a few. Each descendant includes name (first/last), occupation, year of birth, year of death, a photo, and genealogical citations. If made available, additional supporting documents are presented to provide a sense of the major accomplishments for a few of Betsy's descendants. Though this book neither includes all descendants nor every possible record, the research indeed aims to save family members, curators, librarians, educators and genealogists precious time in locating genealogical sources for the O'Neal, Dunbar, Lincoln, Edwards, DeWitt, Hodge, Bostic families, primarily of Darlington, Florence, Marion, Lee, Chesterfield, and Marlboro Counties in South Carolina. Future editions of this book will include deeds, plats and much more.

In 1954, one year after Baltimore bought the St. Louis Browns, the New York Yankees hired former Browns executive and owner William O. DeWitt as assistant to general manager George Weiss. "DeWitt," the news announced, "was considered an astute baseball man who would have a definite role to play with the Yankees." Baseball fans had assumed that once the Browns were no longer the American League's doormats, DeWitt would quietly retire. But for DeWitt, a shrewd protege of Branch Rickey, his years with the Browns began a long and fascinating career, including his years as owner and general manager of the Cincinnati Reds. This first ever biography focuses on the career of a baseball executive who contributed greatly to America's pastime.
