Name:
"Deming Genealogy": According to Savage, John Deming Jr., was born in 1638, but the authority for this statement is not given. Hinman says that he was born in 1632, and if this earlier date is correct, he must have been born before his father moved to Wethersfield. To distinguish him from his father upon the early records of the town, he is called "Sergeant John Deming," this title indicating that he may have taken part in the Indian wars of the period. In 1662 he became one of the selectmen of the town, and was Representative from Wethersfield to the General Court from 1669 to 1672. In 1694, he and his wife appear among the members of the church at Wethersfield. His son John probably remained with his father on the home farm, while the other sons scattered, and their records are only partly found. Joseph probably moved to Woodstock, Hezekiah went to Farmington, and Jacob to hartford, while Jonathan lived in the vicinity of Wethersfield. Of Samuel no trace can be found, and it is supposed that he either died young, or moved to a distance. The fate of his daughters, Mary and Sarah has not been discovered. Fe 16, 1712, shortly after his death, his sons John, Joseph, Jonathan, and Hezekiah deed to each other, lands and other property possessed by each of them at the death of "our natural father Mr. John Deming." This indicates that Jacob and Samuel were not living at that time.

According to one authority Sergt. John Deming was a "packer" in 1692. As he inherited his father's tools a few years later, it is possible that this was also his father's trade. His brother David, to whom his father first bequeathed his tools, (and later withdrew the gift) is described as a "knacker," which is defined as a maker of small work, or a rope-maker. Perhaps both John and David followed the trade of their father, and the copyist has mistaken the word "knacker" for "packer."

John married Mary MYGATT on 12 Dec 1657. Mary was born about 1637. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": the birth-date of Jonathan Deming is determined by the record of his death, which states that he "died suddenly, aged about 61 as he supposed." There is some doubt as to the identity of his first wife, but it is supposed that she was the daughter of George Graves. She died in child-bed, at the birth of her daughter Comfort. At the time of his second marriage he was said to be 34 years old, and his wife 20. the date of her death is given in the probate of her will, although other authorities differ. In his will dated 27 Mar 1696, proved 9 Mar 1699-1700, he names his wife Elizabeth, and his sons Jonathan, Thomas, Charles, jacob and Benjamin, giving to the latter the property inherited from Josiah Gilbert, his wife's father. He also names his daughters Sarah Ryley, Comfort, Elusia, Elizabeth, mary, and Ann, and a son-in-law John Williams, who was perhaps the first husband of his daughter Elusia.

Jonathan married Sarah GRAVES on 21 Nov 1660. Sarah died on 5 Jun 1668 in Wethersfield, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
The record of the death of Samuel Deming upon the town records of Wethersfield, states that he was aged 63 "near out," and thus fixes the year of his birth at about 1646. According to the Kirby Genealogy, Talcott, and other authorities, his wife was Sarah Kirby, daughter of John Kirby of Middletown, the statement being based, probably, upon the fact that she was an heir of John Kirby. The land records of Middletown show that Sarah, widow of Samuel Deming, was one of the heirs of Mary Buck, and joined in deeding land which the latter received from the estate of John Kirby. The same records give a list of the grandchildren of Kirby, which includes Sarah Churchill, who was none other than the former widow of Samuel Deming, as shown by her signature to the distribution of Samuel's estate in 1729. These facts indicate that Mrs. Sarah Deming was the grand-daughter and not the daughter of John Kirby.

Samuel married Sarah BUCK on 29 Mar 1694. Sarah was born on 1 Apr 1669. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": David Deming remained in Wethersfield, probably as late as 1690, in which year he received a tract of land there, from his father. In 1699 he appears in Cambridge, Mass., where he is called a "fence viewer," and in 1700 he was "tythingman". He owned the Brattle estate extending from Brattle Square to Ash Street. Before November, 1707, he removed to Boston; at which date he sold the westerly portion of this estate to Andrew Belcher and easterly portion, including the house, to Rev. Wm. Brattle. In the conveyance he is called "Knacker," which has been defined as "a maker of small work; a rope-maker."

In his will dated 23 Apr. 1725, "being sick and weak," he discharges his son David of a debt of one hundred pounds more or less which he had bestowed upon him "at sundry times for his education at Collidge and since." To the three children of David, namely; David, Mercy, and Jonathan, he leaves a bequest in money. To his daughter Martha, wife of Henry Howell he leaves "one hundred pounds and household stuff and moveables." To his grandson Joseph Deming, son of Hannah Deming widow, he leaves "all that my dwelling house which I now dwell in, fronting to Newbury Street, with all the yard garden and premises thereunto belonging." In case of Joseph's death before he comes to the age of 21, then his brother John Deming is to have the property. to his son-in-law Henry Howell (blacksmith) he left the remainder of his estate. The inventory names "15 Seal-skins; 17 sheep-skins; and leather and tools." It also includes "Benjamin Deming's time valued at 24 pounds, and the Indian boy valued at 70 pounds."

David married Marie BELDEN on 16 Aug 1678 in Boston, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.

Notes:

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": the birth-date of Ebenezer Deming has never been discovered. It is supposed that he was the youngest son of John Deming, and that he was born about 1659. In 1698 he received a deed of land in Wethersfield from his brother David Deming of Cambridge, and inherited from his father other land in the vicinity. In the record of his marriage the family name of his wife is obliterated, and it has not been discovered from any other source. In the distribution of his estate, his widow and all of his children including his two sons-in-law Talcott and Wright, are named.

Ebenezer married Sarah UNKNOWN on 16 Jul 1677 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": The identity of this man as son of Sergeant John Deming of Wethersfield, has not been fully established. His gravestone states that at his death in 1742, he was "about 78". This would make his birth-year in 1664, three years later than the recorded birth of Joseph of Wethersfield, a discrepancy which might easily occur. He was a grantor in Woodstock as early as 1697, and in 1728 "being advanced in years," he deeds his property to his son Joseph, :conditional upon the support of myself, and wife Mar." According to Hinman, he had a house-lot in Woodstock in 1688, and was a carpenter by occupation. There is every reason to believe that he was son of Sergeant John Deming, for the records of Wethersfield fail to show any other fate of Joseph, the son of Sergeant John, who was born 1 June 1661, and no other person of the name Joseph Deming, has been found to correspond to the record of this man. His wife's father came to America from Wales. Of the fate of his son Joseph nothing further has been found. He was living in Woodstock in 1728. A Joseph Deming married in Woodstock 13 Jan. 1774 Prudence Griffin, but the connection with this family is not discovered.

Notes:

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": Jonathan Deming appears frequently upon the land records of Wethersfield, but aside from transfers of land, little is to be found which throws any light upon his life. The date of his death has not been found, nor any record of the distribution of his estate, but on Apr 3, 1726, his widow Martha joins with his son Isaac in a deed of land inherited from him. Nov 11, 1719 he divided by deed to his sons, some of his property, including his home-lot went to Isaac and Gideon. This would indicate that he died soon after and no later transfer appears to have been made by him. His wife was admitted to the Church in Wethersfield 28 Aug 1696, but the date of her death has not been discovered. the names of his children are from the Wethersfield records, with the exception of Grace, whose name is included in the list prepared by Talcott. There has been found no proof of the marriages of his daughters, but it is probable that his daughter Anna married 20 Mar 1712 nathaniel Wright of Wethersfield His daughter martha may have been that one who married 13 mar 1757, Joshua Stoddard and died 22 Sep 1771...

Jonathan married Martha BUCK on 27 Oct 1687 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Martha (daughter of Henry BUCK and Elizabeth CHURCHILL) was born on 15 Oct 1667 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": Jacob Deming settled in Hartford, where the birth of his first child is recorded upon the town records. At the may session of the General Court at Hartford in 1698, he was granted a sum of money as compensation for personal damage, as appears from the following record: "Jacob Demmon having been wounded in the countrey service in firing the great gunes in Hartford (by order from the Govern'r and council when peace was proclaimed) whereby he susteined great losse and dammage, this court orders that he shall receive out of the countrey treasurye the sume of ten pounds cash, to be paid to him by the treasurer." At the October session of the same year "the court gives to Jacob Demmon five pounds more than was formerly given him in consideration of his wounding and dammage in firing the great gune which brake in firing." He evidently recovered from his injuries, for he had two sons born afterwards, but he disappears entirely from the Hartford records after the year 1703, and it is probable that he moved away or died about that time. His wife Elizabeth was living in 1718, and was probably a widow at that time, for the will of her father, Richard Edwards, dated 14 Apr 1718 bequeaths ten pounds to each of his daughters, with the special provision that Elizabeth is to receive her portion at once, as she may need it for her maintenance. According to some authorities, she married second a Mr. Hinckly, of Kingston, RI. It has been very difficult to trace the fate of the children of Jacob Deming. His eldest son Jacob, does not appear upon any records thus far examined, with the exception of the entry of his birth upon the town records of Hartford. His son Lemuel was a hatter, and married Susanna, daughter of Jonathan and Sarah Bunce, who was born in 1704. Lemuel died 10 Dec 1724, leaving a "wife and child," as appears from his nuncupative will, in which he also refers to his mother and his friend, Timothy Phelps, to each of whom he left a small sum of money. In the inventory of his estate are "200 rackoons skinnes, 31 gallons rum, 51 pounds wool, 2 doz and 3 blocks a stone bason, tools, etc." A Timothy Deming of Hartford deeds land upon the east side of the river between the years 1740 and 1762, and it is supposed that he was the son of Jacob of hartford. While proof of this is lacking, there is evidence to support the theory, and the line is so continued. Contemporary with this family, there was living in the eastern part of East hartford a branch of the Damon family, whose names appear upon the records of East hartford and adjoining towns as Demmon, and sometimes as Deming. to add to the confusion, one of these men was named Timothy Damon (or Deming, as it often appears.) His brother, David Damon, appears upon the East hartford records as David Deming, who died 1 Apr 1825, aged 81 yrs. The same record shows the following marriages: Ruth Deming to Ebenezer Hills in 1775, Phebe Deming to Russell Hills in 1783, and Prudence Deming to Samuel (or Solomon) Brewer in 1797. These persons may have been descendants of Jacob Deming, of Hartford, and it is equally possible that they were descendants of the Damon family.

Jacob married Elizabeth EDWARDS on 14 Mar 1695 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of Richard EDWARDS and Elizabeth TUTTLE) was born in 1675. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": Jacob Deming was a large land-owner in Wethersfield, as appears by the frequent transfers, in his name, upon the land records. His first two children were born in Wethersfield, and the others in Farmington. Jan. 17, 1716/17, he was given the "second set in the square body" of Farmington Church. From 1741 to 1747 he is referred to as living near the Farmington line, and is called a resident of Kensington. In December 1730, he is a member of the "Prudential Committee" of KensingtonChurch. The land records show that he had property in Rocky Hill and Newington. According to Hinman he lived in Berlin and New Britain, and it is certain that his first wife is buried in the latter town. His second wife left a considerable estate, including negro slaves, which went by bequest to her children by her first husband, Timothy Jerome. She was a member of the church in Bristol, and was buried there in "Old South Burying Ground."

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": Rev. David Deming was educated at harvard College, from which institution he graduated in 1700. Soon after his marriage he bought land in Middletown, Conn., and there his son David was born. It does not appear that he took charge of the church in Middletown, although it is said that he preached there. It is probable that he moved back to the vicinity of Boston, after a few years, and may have been the pastor of the church at Needham, for at a meeting of the inhabitants of that town 29 Oct. 1712, it was voted "yt ye Town should give Robert Fuller 12 pence a week for his House Rent a year and Roome in his Barn for to lay hay for to keep the rev. Mr. Deming's Cattell, and that Robart Fuller should provide a convenient studdy for Mr. Deming in casse that Robart Fuller should want his littell roome in ye spring of ye year."

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": Joseph Deming was a farmer of Wethersfield until 1769, when he bought land in Berkshire Co., Mass., and soon afterwards removed to the new settlement at Williamstown, together with his sons, Aaron and Titus. It is probable that his wife survived him, as she is mentioned in his will of 9 apr 1782. the father and his sons were diligent and thrifty, and acquired land from time to time, which was retained by their descendants for three generations. The old house, built by the father soon after he came to Williamstown, was standing until 1876, when it was destroyed by fire. At a point where the farm adjoins Hancock brook there was a small mill privilege, which was utilized by the family for manufacturing purposes for many years.

Joseph married Elizabeth FRANCIS on 8 Jan 1736 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Elizabeth was born on 18 Jan 1717 in Wethersfield, Hartford Co., Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"Deming Genealogy": Oliver Deming inherited land in Saybrook from his father, but seems to have spend his days in Wethersfield. He left a small estate, of which a double share was to go to his son Lemuel, but the latter admits an indebtedness of 150 pounds to his father, and offers to pay out of his share the funeral expenses, etc., if there is not enough left for that purpose. His wife Lucy probably died in 1801, as her estate of about 100 pounds was administered in Wethersfield by her son-in-law Mood, of Granville, Mass., which place is also called her home at the time of her death.

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": Timothy Deming appears to have lived most of his life in Wethersfield, although he is frequently mentioned upon the land records as a resident of Glastonbury. He is probably that Timothy Deming who was in the French war in 1758 in Capt. Gaylord's company of the 1st regiment....His will, dated 11 Oct 1785 names his sons Eliakim, Abel, Eli and Daniel, his daughter mary, the wife of Nathan Baldwin, and his daughter Charity, wife of Abijah Tryon, who, having married against his will, is to receive her share only in the event that she survive her husband. This same Charity appears upon the church records as having "gone to the Baptists." In 1779 he deeded to his son Abel a part of his hone-lot, together with the house thereon which Abel had built. His son Eliakim does not appear on the records except as one of the heirs of his father's estate in 1789, and it is said that he moved to the West at an early date, and all further traces of him has been lost. His son David does not appear in his father's will, and probably died first. His fate has not been discovered.

Name:
Janna Deming was a farmer living in that part of Wethersfield afterwards known as Newington. In 1741 he was a private in the muster of Newington men drafted to go in the expedition against the West Indies. He appears to have attained the rank of Sergeant, and was so called by his friends and neighbors. That he was a man of some influence in the church is shown by the fact that in 1770 he was one of a committee "to seat the meeting house, and that the men and their wives be seated together." His estate, which inventoried 832 pounds, was distributed by his will among his children.
