Elizabeth Deming

PARENTS: There are no references in any of the early genealogies or in any of the reputable sources listing, or even suggesting parents for immigrant Thomas (of Wethersfield, Farmington, and Long Island); Elizabeth Deming, or John Deming. Parents John Deming and Elizabeth (Gilbert) Deming are probably a confusion with Jonathan Deming (c.1639-1700) and Elizabeth (1654-1714) from a later generation. If anyone has a valid source for these parents we can easily re-attach this pedigree.
