William DEMING

Notes:

Name:
William Deming appears frequently upon the land records of Wethersfield, and his children were baptized in the church of that town, but the town and probate records give no information of the births and deaths of any of his family. In 1768 he and all of is sons except Benjamin were paying a poll tax in Wethersfield. In 1774 he appears among the members of Wethersfield Church. The is no record that he had a daughter, but is supposed that such was Prudence Deming, who is buried in Stockbridge, Mass., near the grave of Josiah.

William married Prudence CHURCHILL on 22 Jan 1730 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Prudence was born on 20 Dec 1710; died on 28 May 1769 in Wethersfield, Hartford Co., Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. Elizur DEMING was born in 1740 in Wethersfield, Hartford Co., Connecticut; died on 20 Jun 1813 in Wethersfield, Hartford Co., Connecticut.

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]
