    JOSIAH DEMING was the youngest son of Ebenezer and Sarah Deming, and the grandson of John and Honor (Treat) Deming, all of Wethersfield, Connecticut.

    He studied theology and preached, but was never ordained. He lived in Newington Parish, in his native town, and there died, August 12, 1761, in his 73d year.

    He was a person of weight and prominence in the affairs of the parish; he was, for instance, their agent to intercede with the General Assembly, in 1748, for compensation for the loss of their minister, the Rev. Simon Backus (Y. C. 1724), in the Colony service. He also held various town offices, such as that of selectman.

    He married, December 8, 1714, Prudence, daughter of Captain James and Ann (Welles) Steele, of Wethersfield. She was born, January 17, 1693, and died July 10, 1752. By her he had three sons and one daughter.

    He next married, August 11, 1756, Experience Smith, who survived him, with two daughters, besides the children of his first wife.
