Aaron DEMING

Notes:

Name:
"Deming Genealogy": Aaron Deming was reared on his father's farm in Williamstown, Mass., and received a good, common school education. Before he reached his majority, he purchased for one hundred dollars a release from his obligations as a minor, and emigrated to the wilderness of Niagara Co., NY, near the present city of Lockport, where in partnership with Arthur Poole he bought and cleared a quarter section of land. In 1825 he met in West Groton, Cayuga Co., his future wife, who had come to the vicinity to teach school. They were married the same year, and in 1830 sold their home and moved to Barrington, Yates Co., NY, where Mr. Deming bought 250 acres, and continued his life of a farmer for many years, until failing health, and misfortunes compelled him to sell his property, and retire from active life.

He was a man of many virtues, and conversant with the affairs of his day, being a constant reader, and interested in all that related to politics. He held frequent positions of trust with which his fellow townsmen honored him, and was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Aaron married Almira BROWN on 4 Nov 1830. Almira was born on 27 Apr 1811; died on 5 Mar 1876. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
