Henry convinced Francis Barings to invest in the Maine land deal and the Louisiana Purchase. He had family and connections living in Northern Maine (the borders of which reached Halifax) and in Louisiana (Acadian settlers)
James Horatio Watmough (1754-1811) was a wealthy Philadelphia merchant. I believe he was a clerk for Henry either in Amsterdam prior to the French occupation, or in London.
Maria Ellis 1730-1754+ Maria Ellis was the oldest daughter of Edward Ellis and Mary Willard. Known children of Capt. Edward Watmough and Maria Ellis were:
James Horatio Watmough (1754-1811) was a wealthy Philadelphia merchant. He was well-traveled and visited places such as the West Indies, Great Britain and Ireland. His wife, Anna Carmick Watmough, was a good wife, mother and companion. Seven children were born to James and Anna. Of the seven, only four lived to adulthood.
m. Edmund Watmough 1729-1761+ Married Maria Ellis Jan. 30, 1748. Also spelled Watmouth. Was Captain and served in Nova Scotia, but can't find much info on him. His two sons JH and Edward Ellis (clearly named for his wife's father) were listed as Rhode Island settlers in Nova Scotia in Hants County in November 1760.
m. Isaac Deschamps 1722-1801+ Isaac Deschamps (1722-1801) married, for a second time, Sarah Ellis, at Halifax, on 17th October, 1758. Likely of Swiss extraction, Isaac Deschamps, it seems, came to Halifax the year it was founded, 1749 (so after deportation of Acadians in 1745). In 1754 Deschamps was in charge of the truckhouse owned by Joshua Maugher and located at Piziquid (Windsor). At Piziquid trades for furs were made with the local Acadians and Indians in exchange for fire-arms, ammunition, cloth, blankets, pots, knives, and alike. Deschamps could speak and write both English and French. In 1760, with the French power in America finally broken and the Indians coming under English control, Deschamps was to be the "truckmaster" for the trade at Fort Edward (Windsor) and justice of the peace for Kings County; the following year, a judge of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas and judge of probate for Kings. In 1759, Deschamps became the first member of the Nova Scotia Assembly to represent the new county of Annapolis. All along he kept up at his commercial activities including entering into contracts with the military for certain of its supplies. In 1783, he was named to Council (the chief executive body in the cabinet form of government), and in 1785, he was appointed the acting chief justice.
Elizabeth Ellis married Capt. Peter Jacob Dordin on 25 September 1757. Peter Dordin, Fellowship Club and Trinity Church member, sailed to Amsterdam as well as to Africa and invested in the vessel he captained. Probably a slave trader. He died in 1769.
Elizabeth Ellis then m. Peter Francis Christian de Les Dernier, son of Gideon de Les Dernier and Madelon Martine, on 17 January 1773 in Newport, Rhode Island, by the Rev. W. Bissell of the Episcopal Church; 2nd husband; d. 1817 at Salem, NH.
In addition to a monthly wage, captains received a 5 percent commission on every slave sold. Many also received a bonus, or "privilege," of four or more slaves per 104 Africans aboard. The captains were free to sell them or keep them.
Some made enough to invest in later trips to Africa. Many joined the Fellowship Club, a mutual aid society, established in Newport in 1752. When the club received a charter from the Rhode Island legislature, 17 of the 88 members had made at least one voyage to Africa. Shipping records Brigantine Apollo Capt. Dordin Amsterdam 1765-1766 Vernon family Collection 165 - “Invoice of sundrys” shipped by John Turner & Son, on the brig Apollo, Capt. Peter Dordin mentioned at end of document. (trex 3981)
Children of Elizabeth Ellis and Capt. Peter Jacob Dordin who were born after their marriage, so 1758+
m. Peter Delesdernier 172?-1776+ Peter Francis Christian de Les Dernier was the son of Gideon de Les Dernier and Madelon Martine. He was a at one time a merchant on Long Warf, Newport. Peter Francis Christian de Les Dernier married Elizabeth Ellis, daughter of Dr. Edward Ellis and Mary Willard, on 17 January 1773 in Newport, Rhode Island, by the Rev. W. Bissell of the Episcopal Church. Peter Francis Christian de Les Dernier died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of yellow fever. This was probably in 1793 during the great plague of Yellow Fever in Philadelphia. Note: Gideon de Les Dernier was the brother or uncle of Moses Delesdernier: DELESDERNIER (Le Derniers, Les Derniers), MOSES, landowner and “improver,” office holder, land agent, and author; b. c. 1713 in Russin (canton of Geneva, Switzerland); d. 8 Sept. 1811 in Halifax, N.S. Moses Delesdernier and his first wife, Judith Martin (Martine), emigrated to London, England, in 1740, and ten years later came to Halifax with Gideon Delesdernier, either Moses’s brother or his uncle. In Nova Scotia Moses became involved in Abram Dupasquier’s scheme to recruit settlers from the Palatinate (Federal Republic of Germany) and returned to Europe in the fall of 1750. The venture proved most unsuccessful and he was back in Halifax in August 1751.
Harriet de Les Dernier b. 29 May 1775 married William Pepperell Prescott (William was of Newcastle).

The super full moon is apparently 14% brighter than the ordinary moon. A little extra illumination is always good when reviewing the situation. Taking careful stock of where we are is vital to making any move forward. The full moon is another of the astronomical events that are playing a part in my 2017 yearly review.
But we all have blind spots. Even the super full moon with its extra brightness percentage has a dark side. However bright the moon shines, the dark side remains hidden.
It is a good assumption that many of my failures are down to what were, or are my blind spots. Things I didn’t know about myself. Likewise, some of my success will be down to abilities I didn’t know I had.
As the moon shines. I am taking a look at what I am, at who I am. But I am not just looking at what is visible. I am attempting to see some of what is hidden, to find out what I didn’t know about myself.
I won’t be able to see it all. I will always have blind spots. We will always have a little mystery about ourselves. There is always a dark side of the moon, but every once in a while the moon shines a little brighter. Time for me to use this metaphor to illuminate my yearly review.
