"5 David Deming, (son of John 1) born about 1652 in Wethersfield, Conn., died 4 May 1725 in Boston, aged 73; … In his will dated 23 Apr. 1725, 'being sick and weak,' he discharges his son David of a debt of one hundred pounds more or less which he had bestowed upon him 'at sundry times for his education at Collidge and since.' To the three children of David, namely; David, Mercy, and Jonathan, he leaves a bequest in money. To his daughter Martha, wife of Henry Howell he leaves 'one hundred pounds and house-hold stuff and moveables.' To his grandson Joseph Deming, son of Hannah Deming widow, he leaves 'all that my dwelling house which I now dwell in, fronting to Newbury Street, with all the yard garden and premises thereunto belonging.' In case of Joseph’s death before he comes to the age of 21, then his brother John Deming is to have the property. To his son-in-law Henry Howell (blacksmith) he left the remainder of his estate."
