James Demarest¹

• Father*: David Demarest¹ b. 21 May 1738, d. Nov 1820
• Mother*: Hester Brouwer¹ b. 20 Jan 1740, d. b Aug 1815

• James Demarest was born on 9 March 1780.¹
• He married Elizabeth Haring, daughter of John Haring and Mary (?), at Tappan Reformed Church, Tappan, Rockland Co., New York, on 15 May 1803.²
• James Demarest died on 7 October 1869.²
• He was buried at Monsey, Town of Ramapo, Rockland Co., New York.²
• He was a minister with the Dutch Reformed Church and served at Katsbaan, Ramapo, and Kakiat.²

James Demarest¹

• Father*: John Demarest¹ b. 1757, d. 18 Feb 1795
• Mother*: Lydia Moore¹ b. b 1771

• James Demarest was born circa 1795 at Maryland.¹
• He married Rebecca Ways at Baltimore, Maryland, on 28 December 1831.²

Jan Demarest¹

• Father*: John Demarest¹ b. 18 Jun 1671, d. bt 1726 - 1731
• Mother*: Deborah Heyet d. bt 1705 - 1708

• Jan Demarest was baptized on 11 May 1701 at Dutch Reformed Church, Hackensack, Bergen Co., New Jersey; sponsors David, son of Jan Demaree, Rebecca Eyyet (Hyer).²
• He probably married second Elsie Earle after 1730 this according to the Demarest Family (1964). This marriage would have had to have been after 1730 (and may have been as late as the 1740's), and if so, it is probable that Elsie is NOT the mother of Jan Demarest's daughter Elizabeth Demarest, who is said to have been born in ca. 1725 or 1728.³
• On 4 March 1727, John Desmarest and David Desmarest, both of St. George's Creek, yeoman, convey to Francis Land of Christianna Creek, yeoman, for £62.18, a tract of land on the south side of St. George's Creek bounded by the land of John Bolton, land of Col. French and St. George's Creek containing 318 acres. Signed John Desmarest and David Desmarest. Delivered in the presence of John Hill and William Pellison. Recorded 1 June 1728. (H1:254).⁴
• John is last recorded in 1737 in deed papers at St. Georges Hundred, New Castle Co., Delaware. The Demarest name disapears from this location after this date and he probably moved elsewhere thereafter. The child Elizabeth is undoubtedly his daughter. Also he may have had other children.⁵
• If the approximate year of birth for his daughter, Elizabeth, is correct (1725-1728) then it would imply that Jan Demarest was married prior to his marriage to Elsie Earle. As Elsie was married to George Simmons in 1729, and Jan was living in 1737, it would appear that Jan was Elsie's second husband, and , as his daughter was born prior to 1729, Elsie must have been Jan's second wife.
