  • Story: John Deming And Honor Treat

    <ul><li><pre><strong>John Deming and Honor Treat</strong>, the immigrant ancestor of most of the persons bearing the Deming name, were early settlers of Wethersfield, Connecticut.</pre></li><li><pre><strong><font size="3">Homestead</font></strong></pre></li><li><pre>Their homestead in 1641, was a house, a bam, and five acres of land, bounded by High Street, west, the Great Meadow, east,Thomas Standishe&#39;s homestead, north, and Richard Crabbe&#39;s homestead, south. </pre></li><li><pre><strong><font size="3">Marriage</font></strong></pre></li><li><pre>The dates of their birth, marriage and death, have not been discovered. </pre></li><li><pre><strong><font size="3">Questions</font></strong></pre></li><li><pre>It has not been proven that Honor was john&#39;s first and only wife, or that John was Honor&#39;s first and only husband. Nor that Honor was the mother of all of John&#39;s children, or that John was the father of all of Honor&#39;s children, although it is probable. </pre></li><li><pre><strong><font size="3">Honor Treat&#39;s Heritage</font></strong></pre></li><li><pre>Honor Treat was the daughter of Richard Treat. His second wife Alice Gaylord, may been her mother. </pre></li><li><pre><font size="3"><strong>Richard Treat&#39;s Will</strong></font></pre></li><li><pre>In his will of 13 Feb. 1668, Richard Treat makes the following bequest: &#39;</pre></li><li><pre>&#39;Item: My debts being paid, I give to my loving sons <strong>John Demon</strong>, and Robert Webster, equally, all the rest of my goods and chattels whatsoever, except Mr. Perkins book, which I give to my son <strong>John Demon</strong>, and my great bible to my daughter <strong>Honor Demon</strong>. And that money in my cousin Samuel Welles, his hand, unto my cousin David Deming, son of John Demon senior.&quot;* </pre></li><li><pre><font size="3"><strong>The Relationship Between the Treats and the Demings </strong></font><br></pre></li><li><pre>This obscure clause seems to Indicate that there was a John Demon senior, as well as John Demon the son-in-law, and suggests the possibility ithat the father of John Deming of Wethersfield was also named John. This is stated as a fact by Hinman, with- out giving authority, and the theory is further supported by the statements of the compiler of the <em>Welles Genealogy</em>, and other genealogists. Treat refers to David Deming as his cousin, and indicates the same relationship with Samuel Welles, who is presumably the son of Gov. Thomas Wellies, who married Elizabeth Deming, said to have been a sister of <strong>John Deming</strong>. It would thus appear that the Treats, Welles, and Demings were connected in some way, perhaps before their removal to America. This is the only clew to the parentage of John Deming, and may ultimately lead to its final discovery. </pre></li><li><pre><font size="3"><strong>Honor Treat and John Deming&#39;s Children </strong></font></pre></li><li><pre>No public record has been found of the births of Honor and John&#39;s children, but their names, as far as known, have been taken from his will, which is preserved in the Probate Court of Hartford, and is given herein, in full: &nbsp;<br></pre></li></ul><ol><li><pre>John, b. 9 Sep. 1638</pre></li><li><pre>Jonathan, b. aboot 1639. <br></pre></li><li><pre>A daughter, b. about 1643, m. a Decide of Wethersfield. <br></pre></li><li><pre>Rachel. b. about 1644, m. 16 Nov. 1665, John Morgan of Wethersfield, <br></pre></li><li><pre>Samuel, b. about 1646. <br></pre></li><li><pre>Mary, b. about 1648, m. about 1670, John Hnrlburt of Wethersfield. <br></pre></li><li><pre>Martha, b. about 1661, ni.

Samuel Moody of Hartford, and d. 29 Sep , 1717, in Hadlej, Maw. <br></pre></li><li><pre>Ebenezer, b. about 1659. </pre></li></ol>
