I am new to DeMaree genealogy. My grandfather was Omer DeMaree, who was the son of Leonidas, son of Jesse b. 1847, son of Jesse b. 1801. I am looking for old photos to put with my family tree. I would be grateful for any help.

Thank you,

:-) It's not very likely that that is an ancestor..., but you're more than welcome to research it through the descendant web site (U.S. descendants). I can't remember the web site. :-)
If you find anything...regardless of what it is...please let me know. :-)

Have you checked the files available for download at www.demarests.com? I think that she is listed as a first generation in the availble files.
Be aware that some publications about the Demaree / Demarest families may be false. There are articles on that web site that talk about that problem. In any case, I emailed the contact person at the web site to make sure that the files were accurate (from a 1964 publication). He said that they were.
However, there are some claims of earlier ancestors ... This has not been verified at all, as far as I know. Be careful and good luck. :-)

I am looking for information on Jacob Demaree born in Ripley Indiana 1827. He married a second time to Melissa Lucinda Hedges. They had a daughter Malissa who was born in Apr 1865, and Jacob died in Jul of that year, I believe. They were in either Indiana or Kentucky.

I'm looking for sources about where they married, where Malissa was born, where Jacob was residing when he died, and anything to verify his death date.

thanks for any info!

While researching a Demaree and came across 3 different series of articles on Demaree and related families and congregation members which will make a lovely addition to any Demaree Family History since these families are well intermarried.

This first article is actually the 2nd chapter (the paper with the first chapter was not available. There were 8 chapters a few other chapters were missing, but if you want I will send the other articles, The ones by Mac Pherson are more into the genealogy. These are more of a background nature of your ancestors arrival and life in Pennsylvania.

Gettysburg Times, Sept. 7, 1925
History of The Low Dutch Colony of Conowago, written by Rev. Dr. Demarest, Early Pasto of the Presbyterian Church of Gettysburg. (Pa.)
Chapter 2
Whence came all these People? Their traditions, the trustworthiness, of which we may not call in question, point with few exceptions to New Jersey. But I am confident that we shall speak more precisely if we say that the colony came from about New York City. Manifestly, the idea of forming a colony of some magnitude would originate and find a following in a city rather than a rural district whereas yet there were few or no facilities for a combined movement. In the metropolis there are at present many families bearing the names I have recorded, and they are not only intermarried, but have, and always have had (few equal the Dutch in the number of olive plant, in the household garden- of arrows in the family quiver- the Lord blessed them, numerous "relations" on Long Island, on Staten Island, along the Hudson and in New Jersey, especially in Bergen and the adjoining counties.)
A moss grown tablet in the in the Conowago burial ground bears this inscription:
In memory of David Demaree, Born in the East of New Jersey, 1731. And departed this life, November 1808, aged 77.
Old Family Names
The Demarees, Ackermans, Brinkhoffs, Bogarts, Terhunes, Bantas, De Raums, De Motts, Voorhees, Browkas, Slegles and many others, without doubt came from Bergen County, N.J. These names are still heard there with sufficient frequency. The Houghtanling and Cosines came from the west bank of the Hudson, near Haverstraw. An Abraham Lotts, perhaps a connection of the Lotts, was prominent in New City about the time of the Revolution, holding office in both church and state. The Brokaws can be traced to New York. The Cassats (?) and the Manforts, 2 of the first comers, whose influence never came second to that of any later comers, had an earlier home in Somerset Co., N.J., near Millstone, and in earlier still in New York, the latter family having settled there before 1640. The Van Dykes and Van Arnsdale came from Essex County, N.J., near Patterson. The Benners(?), among the latest to arrive, came to this country from Berks, having tarried on the way.
Now, on a day-but when? It was certain that all of the colonist did not arrive simultaneously, Some were on the ground as early as 1763. But there is no evidence that any were here earlier. At York I found a deed of which a member of the Van Arnsdale was the grantor, conveying property in Straben Twp. "adjoining lands of Henry Banta, George Sebring, William Love, David Hunter and Francis Courte(?)) This was to cover debts contracted in 1765. The deed was proven in 1768. This is the oldest document preserved so far as I know; throwing light on the history of the colony. On the other hand it can be shown that the Demaree and Brinkhoff did not leave Bergen county before 1771, for the marriages and baptisms of some who subsequently appear at Conowago are recorded in the books of the Reformed (Dutch) church of Schraalonburgh, N.J. up to that year.
Arduous Journey
So, while others had preceded them, some came in 1771. On a day of that year, probably in the early spring, a company, how large we know not, set out for the west. My imagination, and it must be admitted the imagination, if guided by a touch of reason, has a legitimate place in the writing of history, cannot be dissuade from following, this company on their arduous journey. For it was an arduous one. They had to make large preparations. They must build strong commodious wagons, and covered them with stout canvas. Oxen would serve better than horses. They must also procure agricultural and other implements, quantities of seeds, and a considerable portion of food they would be likely to consume on the way. And, a matter neither last nor least, which a Dutchman was never the man to forget, they must provide well for the comfort of their wives and children- numerous children, as I have said.
They must meet for the start at some one point. So I account for a convergence of traditions to Hackensack, N.J. From that village, one of the most attractive on earth- how could they find the heart to leave it? They begin their journey over a succession of hills belonging to our own South Mountain. Crossing the Passaic, they turn south-westward to New Brunswick. From the Raritan, they pass through Princeton to the Delaware. There they exchange the New Jersey soil for that of our own state, and reach it, not without many delays and vexations, crossing the river.
Dream of Conflict?
Perhaps they crossed just where Washington made his splendid venture a few years later. I wonder, did they have in their dreams, as they rested among those now historic places, any token of the great conflict soon to come? I wonder, did they talk as they smoked their pipes beside their own nightly camp fire or as they rafted themselves and their effects across the river, of the grave political situation of Patrick Henry, of assured liberty and national independence? From the Delaware they continued westward and southward until they reached the bright shallow Susquehanna. How often the reader and I have come across the same ground in 6 hours of less, behind a screaming locomotive. But the colonist did well if they made the distance in 6 weeks, not allowing for proverbial Dutch slowness. The majority had no mind to settle on the Susquehanna. Shall we credit them for having foreseen the malaria?
from the Susquehanna, all except a few move on to the neighborhood of Hanover. There they are hard pressed to make an end to their journey, now grown tedious and fatiguing. But, the majority again say "No" for the ground is already occupied. The Germans are there and perhaps even in those early days were quite too numerous about Hanover. They move again, therefore, and now north-westward, but not far; for in front of them, already in plain sight, rises the South Mountain. It is a barrier they cannot pass, and yet, in spite of themselves they press on towards it; for a more picturesque horizon, a line of hills of more quiet beauty, and weather reflecting from their blue grey sides the light of morning or of evening, more suggestive of the calm and rest of the better and heavenly country, they had never seen- nor have I. even quite up to those hills, they cannot come; for as they soon discover there the Scotch Irish, vigorous, pushing and still more numerous than were the Germans, are already in possession. Moving on, therefore, once more, and this time in wedge shape between the Germans and the Scotch Irish, they make a last search for ground they may call their won. And they find it. They cannot miss it. For Lo! The familiar triassic!
I must not I know be guilty of anachronism, attributing an acquaintance with geology to a man of the 18th century, to one who lived long dark ages ago, so far as all valuable knowledge is concerned, as some think. But the ancients had eyes, and we may be quite sure that the colonists; observed the triassic. There it was once more, the soft sticky, staining, not rich, but yet precious, red sandstone! I know the men rejoiced at the sight of it, thought it promised but poorly for crops. Had it not made them, worn with their long marches, look as they used to in former days, after a walk across plowed fields? even the children, I doubt not, were full of delight. It was the old soil of home! How could men from northern New Jersey choose otherwise than to settle on it? And besides, here were the friends and neighbors who preceded them. It was unanimous. So settle they did on the red sandstone--- along the Low Dutch road, the reddest of roads, taking no thought that it was also the dismalness and noisiest with frog croaking, and set up their cabins and sowed their seeds.

Chapter 3
All right here is the next installment
Gettysburg Times, Sept. 14, 1925
History of the Low Dutch Colony of Conowago, written by Rev. Dr. Demarest, Early Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Gettysburg.
The records
When I began the preparation of this history, I had not though of how it would grow, The connection of the Conowago colony with Hackensack, my own native town, had been suspected by me, but was not certainly known; and I could not hope that some valuable papers were still preserved, which I have since been delighted to discover. Chief among these is a bundle of tattered age stained leaves from the baptismal record of the Dutch Reformed Church of Conowago, beginning, it appears with it organization and covering the best period of continuance of the colony in our state. I first learned of the existence of an extract from this book. It was in the possession of Dr. Demarest, professor in the Theological Seminary at New Brunswick, N.J. who called my attention to it. Could it be traced to its source? Correspondence was directed from New Jersey to Illinois, from Illinois to Kentucky, from Kentucky to Ohio. The reader may imagine my satisfaction in finding that at last almost the entire book, whence the extract had been taken. The record had been handed down from Peter Monfort, one of the colonists, to his great grandson, Francis. Francis had given it to his grandnephew, Dr. J.G. Monfort, hereafter to be mentioned again, and of whom I shall say that he has had the kindness to make a present of it to me. I hope to have the honor of securing, in due time, a final resting place for it in the archives of the Historical Society at Harrisburg.
Draft of Church
In addition to the baptismal record. I obtained from the same source several other papers, among the most interesting of which was the draft of the church, showing the locations of the cats, pulpit and some of the church furniture and also a handful of fringed and yellow leaves from the Deacon Book, showing collections and expenditures.
It was the baptismal record that enabled me to make a complete list, as I have given of the heads of families in the colony; and I may say that as easily as I could learn what were the Christian names, I could also a certain what were the maiden names of their wives. The first baptismal record is that of Antje, a daughter of (blank)Ammerman and (blank) Van Aarsdalen (from this entry the Christian names were torn away. The Dutch were commendably methodical and careful with their records, a habit which is still characteristic of their denomination. One of their churches in Bergen County, N.J., a church with which the Conowago colony still stands in some relation , has been able to publish its record(?) of communicants, with scarcely a break from the year of the Revocation of the edict of Nantes to the present. Probably the fact that on the continent of Europe down to the close of the 18th century, All statistics, even for the use of the state were generally obtained from the church so that the church was depended on for them impresses this valuable habit on the French and Dutch.
Having in my hand the plan of the church, with the seats all marked, each with the name of it occupant- I am sorry the paper is not dated, but judging from the names it bears I shall not be far wrong if I assign it to 1790, I am able to form some definite idea of the community as it appeared on the Sabbath morning, that is to say, of the community as a whole. No better time could be chosen to take a view of the group, for nothing so certainly is a church serves to bring them all together.
Work For Wives
For the 6 secular days of the week, the good Dutch wife must milk the cows, bake bread, pies and cake, savory pie, I warrant, happily they were not much addicted(?) to cake except to a certain form of doughnut, which however might well suffice- mind the children and sweep the house, only releasing their monotonous existence by very occasionally, going to the neighbors to "spend the day."
The men it was likely gathered in small groups on Wednesdays around Van Arnsdale's charcoal fire, or at the carpenter's shop, where Demaree and his boys were usually working, and most frequently at "the store." I am sorry I cannot learn who kept it- were absolutely everything was exposed for sale, notwithstanding the stock was small, from books, for which, except for prophetic almanacs, there was little demand, down through drygoods, boots and shoes, hardware, groceries, all the way to patent medicines, the horse powders and pain killers of the last century. I am no doubt justifying as intelligent a faith as those of the present. With such surrounding they sat through many an evening. Ah it is not fancy now but memory.
That dear old "store" forever associated with visits to the country in the days of childhood, not far from Hackensack on a river edge, that old unpainted frame work, end on end, with the cellars odors of molasses and its lofts of new brooms and fresh soap, with its sanded floors, and its deal benches, carved with many an initial, hospitably arranged in winter about a roaring 10 plate stove. Was it not typical? was not the Conowago store just like it? How distinctly I remember a certain Roeleff- in my catalogue of names, I have substituted Ralph, its English equivalent for Roeleff- yes and his surname, let it be remarked, was Banta-Roeleff Banta. I can see him now, as one night he fastened to the dangling skirts of one who sat beside him, deeply engaged in a game of chequers, various ends of brown paper, on account of which the victim, who had been humiliated afterwards in a circle of friends where a young man would be most sensitive, came back the next morning with red face and snapping eyes, and gave such utterance as he could to a choking, Dutch wrath. But it was only the young men who did such things. The Dutch boys and girls were notoriously good. The young women behaved with propriety which added a charm to the freshness and rosiness of their cheers. And the orderly people in the Dutch community are always, as the world knows, very patterns of sobriety and dignity. So, with occasional frolic, and with much discussion of political and not, infrequently, religious subjects, fore ordination and other strong meat of Calvinism being most acceptable- discussions never resulting in conversion, for generally all were agreed at the start, and happily the majority of the Dutch are born into the world with right views, else there would be little help for them- their hours of idleness and weekday congregating passed away.
All Attended Church
But only at the church as I have said, could you see the whole community. There they are, male and female, old and young, rich and poor, all who are not actually disabled, on every Sabbath morning, dressed in their best, and with that guarded and reverential demeanor, which is a true mark of refinement and nobility of spirit.
Let’s glance at the church. Unlike the scotch Irish, the Dutch had too much consideration for their personal comfort to dispense with stoves; a stove therefore, is to be found on either side of the main entrance. The pulpit, very high, a wine glass in shape, is opposite the door. There is a broad middle isle, and there are 2 narrow ones at the side walls. Extending completely around the church, there is a continuous bench. The space before the pulpit is ample for the communion service, held once in 3 months, for the performance of the marriage ceremony, which, however rarely took place at the church, and for baptismal administration, which were required with a frequency which now in Adams County we should consider extraordinary.
In the Church
As I look in the door, careful that there shall not be even the sound of a foot fall- for the silence is absolute- most impressive, the ministers subdued, solemn tone, unaccompanied with any demonstrativeness of manner, alone breaking it – I see the backs of a goodly number of thoughtful, earnest and saintly people – I say with truth- as worthy as any who have ever walked this world. To my right and nearest me- that an ancient paper points out- sit the Brinkhoffs; in front of them are the Demaree; and still beyond are the Van Arsdales and Conover. On my let are the Cassatt’s sitting about opposite the Monforts. The Van Dykes are far forward on the same side, near the pulpit. The Bantas are, the most of them, in the corner of the church at the minister’s right – quarter avoided now, but then considered a “high seat of honor in the synagogue.”
In the general arrangement, there is one thing that calls my special attention. All in a row at the minister’s right are the elders, and facing them on the minister’s left, are the deacons. So it has always been in churches of this denomination. I well remember the custom impressed me when I was a boy. At first I accounted for it by supposing that these venerable officers sat where they did, that they might have oversight of the congregation and secure decorum in the house of God.
Certainly, I have nowhere observed a more –ntainable behavior than in the Dutch church; nowhere have I found an atmosphere more congenial to devotion, it suggestiveness growing principally out of the carriage of the worshippers. Subsequently, I thought the Elder, and Deacons were assigned their prominent places, not so much to observe, as to be observed- that is, that the congregation might keep an eye on them, and make sure their deportment accorded with their responsibility. Perhaps I was mistaken in both suppositions, but in any case the impression was salutary. May that good custom never cease.
Tall Spare Elders
So there they sit, those Elders, I believe I can portray them, you may be sure, not ever heard them described. But they are the marked men in the community to which they belong, and the typical marked man in a Dutch community 100 years ago, was tall and spare. He had a face long from the hairline to the chin, clean shaven, with strong, rather severe features, thin tight lips, blue eyes and complexion inclined to sallow. His appearance was such, as you saw him sitting in the Elder’s or the Deacon’s seat, you could not but think, if at anytime you had business with him, he might have to be address twice before he would attend – you should probably find absent minded, but always a man of thought, a man of principle, a man of God.
I am sorry as yet I have been unable to recover the names of any elders of the Conowago church. I am confident however,- but let the reader bear in mind that in this I speak with out documentary evidence- that Francis Cassett, Peter Monfort, Jacob Brinkhoff and David Demaree were among them. Of this I am sure, in view of their subsequent history, and particularly the influence they exerted from the first in the community. It happens that of the one last named I can speak with most positiveness. Of him I have learned of some excellent traits of character were conspicuous in him. He was noted especially for his mildness and gentleness. Near the close of his life he passed under a dark cloud- such a cloud as for some reason, not altogether a mystery perhaps, was frequent in earlier days in the case of such as were preeminently devotional. He doubted his salvation with such a gravity of doubt, such despondency in it, as became at last a symptom of mental aberration. So, in the old days, even the best had their sorrow; and all were at times called to wonder at strange providences in the church.
Names of Deacons
The names of the Deacons I can give from the still extant pages of their book. I should have said there is a rotation in the office both of Elder and Deacon in the reformed (Dutch) church. The following names I find:
David Cossaart, Garrett Van Arsdalen, John Van Dyke, Henry Commingore, Isaac Van Arsdalen, Luke Brinkerhoff, John Cownover, Thomas Johnson, Ralph Brinkerhoff.
Recurring now to the church records, it will perhaps interest the reader if I give an extract or two from them, with literal exactness. I select 2 which I find among the most legible. I wish the reader joy in his endeavor to understand them:

1778. De 8 dag van December heb –k uyt de kistwe-r gegeven aan Yannie tye Amerman voor Abraham Degraaf de som van L.(pounds) 1.6 de sum van L. 1.6, van het gelt uyt het pampiertye dat betaalt was op denoot van de wedevren Juel en van, het neuwe gelt de som van L. (pound) 13.6

1787 de 16 dag van December heb ik wederom uyt gegeven van dat selfde hier boven genomde gelt uyt de kist yoor Abraham Degaaf en begraffen voor synkint de som van L. 2.9’s

Some of the later entries, when the English language had made more headway against the Dutch patois, run like these:
“Mar. 25, 1800. Then give out of the poor Chist for Charryty to George Byard 3 bushel of rye”

“Sept. 13, 1800. Then give out the poor Chist unto Jerry Byard for the clering the graveyards 5 shellings.

“Sept. 3, 1803. Did count, the money of the poor Chist and found it to be L. (pounds) 6.3s gd. In silver and copper

“Oct. 22, 1792. Then paid out of the poor Chist, it being for the widow Beteve for her jurney to the Jarseys in part, 4 shellings”

“Jan. 1, 1799. Then gave Alexander Clark flanning for his girls shift, 5 shelling.”

Oh, the simplicity of those times! Happy times! – and yet even they had their cares, had the poor with them as always.

She was listed in the household of G. W. (or J. W.) DEMAREE, age 48. Also in hh were R. H. (thought to be Ranson H.), his wife, Mildred, and son, Luther W.

Also, L. B. DEMAREE, brother to head; Lidia A. DEMAREE, sister; and Miranda DEMAREE, age 62, sister to head.

In Aug 1920, on her Missouri death certificate, Sarah Ellen REYNOLDS' parents were listed as "Mr. Noel (and) Mrs. Demeree, born KY". An incomplete family record lists Sarah's mother's name as 'Miranda', who died at age 85 (ca 1903-1905).

Appreciate hearing from anyone with knowledge of Miranda.

Abraham Demeree vs Saml Demerees heirs (Shelby Co. KY, 1800)

J_Rill — 2007-02-06 14:05:56Z

Is anyone familiar with this lawsuit and know whether there are any other Locks besides Sarah Lock Admire involved in this lawsuit?

Does anyone have a copy of Samual Demaree's will? Sarah Lock Admire was Samuel's daughter. I am trying to determine when Sarah became a widow and am wondering if she was a widow at the time of Samuel's will. I am also trying to determine who Sarah's children were and am wondering if any grandchildren are mentioned in the will.

Any help you can provide will be most appreciated. Judi

I am sorry to say that I have not found any more information. I was hoping to find proof of John Allen's death when I visited the courthouses and have not have not been back. There should be records from the death of James to John in his will and perhaps land records for John and Jesse and there should be probate records for both when they died. If and when I locate these records I will transcribe and post them. But at this time I just don't know if they exist or if I will find them in Jefferson or Shelby county. I hope that they will provide the proof you are looking for but who knows for sure?

Thank you for posting this. Caroline Johnson was my greatgrandmother, the daughter of Nancy Demaree & Dudley Keen Johnson.
Nancy Demaree was the daughter of John Allen Demaree & Sarah Myers.
John Allen Demaree & Jesse Demaree were the sons of James Demaree & Nancy Clemons.
James Demaree was the son of Petrus Demaree and Mary Allen.
I applied to the DAR under Petrus but they will not accept the Demarest book as proof that John Allen was the son of James. I need a copy of James' will from 1815 in Girrard Co KY. You wouldn't have that, would you?

That would be Cleo Demarre/Demaree/Devarr/Denaree b. 1912

Note- I found this copy either in Jefferson County Courthouse or Ripley County Courthouse and at the time did not know the relationship to Sarah Myers Demaree. Contact the Courthouse in Madison Indiana and Verseiles would clarify this and should be done. I visited both courthouses on the same day to find more information on John A Demaree and Jesse Demaree who married Sarah Myers and Elizabeth Myers respectively and who were the daughters of George Myers and Catherine Overturf who died about November 1843 and before December 14, 1843 when Martin Myers with Jesse Demaree his security was granted letters of administration for the estate of George Myers. George and Catherine are my GGG Grandparents proven by the probate records of the estate. Other names on this page include Jolly, Pratt, and Rounds or Rands? are not transcribed. Sgg]

Hi Pamela,
I cannot help with John Allen Demaree but I do have information on Sarah Myers. While researching George Myers in Jefferson County I obtained the probate records of the settlement of his estate and the children are listed as infant heirs of Sarah. Also listed is a daughter Elizabeth who married Jesse Demaree and Delila who married Van R McCullough. The last is my line of research. Delila divorced Van at the time of her father's death and Martin Myers was trying to get his land. This suit delayed the settlement. I have not trascribed all the pages of this estate but it does prove the heirs of George including his wife Catherin Overturf listed as widow, Henry, Martin, Sarah, Elizabeth, Delila [who later married Taylor Wright] and Francis. If you would like more information I will try to help out.

pamelaharrellwhiteside — 2005-05-25 15:24:17Z

The DAR has rejected my application which used "the Demarest Family" book as proof of my lineage.
They will accept that DAR Patriot Petrus Demaree had a son James Demaree who married Nancy Clemons. However, they have no record that James and Nancy were the parents of John Allen.
I need to find the will of James Demaree who died abt 1815. His will is supposedly in Garrard Co KY. Hoepfully, it will list his son John Allen.
John Allen Demaree m Sarah Myers in Jefferson Co IN, 12 Mar 1827. Need to get copy of marraige certificate.
John Allen Demaree supposedly died in the summer of 1852, although I cannot find him in the 1850 census. Need a copy of his will which lists his daughter Nancy Demaree Johnson.
Don't know when Sarah Myers Demaree died. Also need that information.
Nancy Ann Demaree m Dudley Keen Johnson, supposedly 29 Sep 1847 Ripley Co IN. Need copy of this marraige certificate.
These families lived in Hayney's Corners, Ripley Co IN.

Any help with proving my lineage will be appreciated.
