French?
The first sentence describes the De Witt family as French. Surely, this should be Dutch? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.121.36.210 (talk) 03:54, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

DeWitt Clinton
In this article and the article for DeWitt Clinton it is claimed that Clinton's mother was descended from the prominent Dutch patrician family. I find this claim suspect, and the source on it actually says she was simply a "member of a New York Dutch family," unless I've managed to miss it somehow. I have been unable to find proof that Tjerck Claeszen de Witt, the ancestor of the American family, was in any way connected to the famous de Witt family and the book "The De Witt Family of Ulster County, New York" by Thomas G. Evans notably makes no such claim. I have marked the source as needing verification on both articles. Alistoriv (talk) 20:46, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
