"12 Jonathan Deming, (son of Jonathan 3) born 27 Nov. 1661 in Wethersfield, Conn.; died 22 June 1727 in Wethersfield; married 1st, about 1681, Sarah Bow, daughter of Alexander and Sarah Bow, of Middletown, born 20 June 1662. He married 2nd, 5 Jan. 1709 Abigail Fyler, daughter of Zerubabel and Experience (Strong) Fyler, born
8 April 1683, died 24 Dec. 1754. Mrs. Abigail Deming married 2nd, Abraham Waterhouse.
Jonathan Deming was a blacksmith. Of his early life little can be found. It is not proven that he was the Jonathan Demon; Jr., who lived in Middletown, and married
Sarah Bow, but the theory is supported by many facts. His home was in Stepney Parish, near the Middletown line, and it would seem that the name Jonathan Demon, Jr., which frequently appears upon the Middletown records, must refer to him. These records indicate that he married Sarah Bow in 1681, and that they had a son Daniel born soon after, and baptized 21 August 1681. His wife's father died in 1678, and in Jul. 1681, Jonathan disposes of land which he had received as his wife's portion of the estate of her father. In 1689 he receives a gift of land from Thos. Allen, who had died the year before. At this time he was still called a resident of Middletown. In 1709 Jonathan Deming, then aged forty-eight, is married in Wethersfield to Abigail Fyler. There is nothing on the Wethersfield records to show the history of his life previous to this marriage, and at his death his estate is divided between his two sons and their mother, Abigail. It is evident, therefore, that if he had been married previous to his marriage to Abigail Fyler, his former wife and her children must have died before he did.
His estate was valued at about fifteen hundred pounds, and included fifteen acres of land given to him by the General Court, which had been assigned to his father, 'he having been very helpful to his father.' This land was afterwards laid out by the widow of Jonathan Deming, Jr., and the other heirs of Jonathan Deming, Sr. brought suit to obtain title to their inherited right, which the Court was obliged to recognize, and the land in controversy was divided among all of the heirs."
