Confusion

This family lived in the 17th century, but has also been transposed into the 16th century, as the parents of John and Elizabeth Deming, early immigrants to New England, and grandparents of this Jonathan. There is no basis for a 16th century couple of this name.[2]

    'The only place I saw the parentage listed for Elizabeth Deming was in a privately published genealogy. I traced the so-called sources they gave and none of them listed Elizabeth's parents. Elizabeth's brother, John Deming, had a son, Jonathan, who married an Elizabeth Gilbert. Personallly I think someone messed up the relationships. As far as I know there has been no proof of parentage for the Demings. I've been trying to trace them for over 20 years.'
