Depew's father was a merchant and farmer who pioneered river transportation between Peekskill and New York and was descended from Franois DuPuy, a French Huguenot who purchased land from natives at the present site of Peekskill. Through his mother, Depew was descended from Rev. Josiah Sherman, who served as a chaplain with rank of captain in the Revolutionary War and who was the brother of American founding father Roger Sherman and Rev. Charles Chauncey, the second president of Harvard College.
