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.

Name:
"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.

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.
