Hi Nicci, It's been a while since we corresponded. Have you found any more info on the DeMarris line? My G-G-Grandfather was Albert Alonso DeMaris, father to Mamie Lillian DeMarris. She was the oldest child and had a different mother, Mary Ann Edgington (I believe). I would appreciate any help.
Thanks, Debbi

I am also researching the Demaris Line.
I think most of what I have is from other family trees.
What are these books you are talking about?
I start back with Heinrich Thamer 1449, Stausbourg France/Germany; Hayman Thamerus 1520; Wilhelmus Thamerus 1556; Johannes Wilhelmus Thamerus 1576; John Wilheim Thamerus 1620; Johann Peter Thmerus 1650; Johann Heinrich Tamrus 1672; Johann Peter Tamerus DAMERUS 1729 m Anna Maria Engel Krober; Christian John Demaris 1757 m Ester May; Joseph Demaris 1780 m Ester Pierce; Charlotte Demaris 1830 illinois m. Albert Gilmore (See Charlotte, Illinois); William A Gilmore 1851 m. Emeline Watts; Arthur William Gilmore 1892 m. Wilda Hall; Merrill Wayne Gilmore 1917 my father in law. Do you have actual documented proof of some of these lines??? Would be interesting to hear from you.

Hi,
My name is Debbi Gossett. My Grandmother was Florence Edgington Baher Hotchkiss. Her birth certificate states her mother as Mamie Lillian Demaris. Some of the family trees state her parents as Albert Alonzo Demaris and Julia Ann Moyer (or Mary A. Edgington/Edyington). If you have any info I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
Deb

Re: Demaris and Moyer Update

debbigossett — 2008-04-18 00:33:58Z

Hi, Nicci,
I am also interested in Albert Alonzo Demaris and Julia Moyer (Meyer) . My grandmother, Florence Edgington Baher Hotchkiss' birth certificate names her mother as Mamie Lillian Demaris (who was married to Clarence Walter Baher).
Some of the family trees name her parents as Albert and Julia Demaris. If you can send me any info I would appreciate it. My E-mail address is: deb29gos@yahoo.com or you can write to me: Debbi Gossett PO Box 1943 Benson, Az 85602. Hope to hear from you soon.

Mary Demaris b. 1794 d/o Adam DeMaris NJ

tkohare — 2008-04-13 20:22:13Z

I am looking for proof (Bible records, or anything primary source) --family book not enough--because no document there proves relationship. I need to prove Mary is daughter of Adam (the Patriot from NJ) to get in DAR. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Mamie Lillian Demaris

latede — 2008-02-19 18:07:00Z

My Grandmother's name was Florence Edgington Baher Hotchkiss born 27 February 1897 in Emmet County, Iowa. Her Father's name was Clarence Walter Baher though you will find it listed as "Baker" on some family trees and her mother's name was Mamie Lillian Demaris. My sister Debbi and I have recently found a Mamie G. Demaris b: OCT 1874 in Iowa married 25 JUL 1896 to a Clarence baker with their children listed as
Florence E. Baker b. 27 February 1897 in Iowa,
Clyde W. Baker b: APR 1898 in Iowa
Bernesta Baker b: DEC 1899 in Iowa.
Which are the names of our aunts and uncle with a with Bernesta actually being Bernetta. Mamie's parents were listed as Albert Alonzo Demaris and Julia Moyer or Mayer on this family tree we looked at.
Children:
Mamie G. DEMARIS b: OCT 1874 in Iowa
Rose Eveline DEMARIS b: 13 NOV 1879 in Hampton, Franklin County, Iowa
Fannie Gertrude DEMARIS b: 13 FEB 1881 in Alexander, Franklin Co., Iowa, USA
George Austin DEMARIS b: 27 MAR 1883 in Billmont, Iowa, USA
Minnie Pearl DEMARIS b: 24 MAR 1885 in Thornton, Iowa
Sarah Jane DEMARIS b: 03 JUN 1887 in Iowa
Martha Marie DEMARIS b: 22 SEP 1889 in Iowa
Henry Albertus DEMARIS b: 17 MAR 1892 in Ottumwa, Iowa
Roy Earl DEMARIS b: 20 MAY 1894 in Iowa
Floyd Elmer DEMARIS b: 05 MAR 1896 in Iowa
Verne Esther DEMARIS b: 02 APR 1899 in Thornton, Iowa
Fern Albert DEMARIS b: 24 DEC 1901 in Thorton, Cerro Gordo, Iowa
John Ernest DEMARIS b: 05 JUL 1905 in Minnesota
We found another family tree With a Mamie Lullian Demaris father listed as Albert Alonzo Demaris b: 22 Jul 1852 an Mother listed as Mary A. Edyington Married: 1 Dec 1873. [Albert's 2nd wife listed as Julia Mayer Married 1879]
children:
Mamie Lullian DEMARIS
Rose Eveline DEMARIS
Fannie Gertude DEMARIS
George Austin DEMARIS
Minnie Pearl DEMARIS
Sarah Jane DEMARIS
Martha Violet DEMARIS
Herny Abertus DEMARIS
Roy Earl DEMARIS
Floyd Elmer DEMARIS
Verna Esther DEMARIS
Fern Albert DEMARIS
John Ernest DEMARIS

Knowing that Grandma Florence's middle name is spelled Edgington we believe that Mary's last name is actually Edgington and that she is our grandmother's mother.
Would like to know if anyone has any of these relatives listed in their trees. Thank you.
Laurie

Verna Demaris in unmarked plot in Mason City, Iowa

CKClark1973 — 2006-11-30 17:39:48Z

Verne/Verna Demaris was the second wife of my great-grandfather, Floyd Shunkwiler. They had seven boys together.

Floyd, Verna, and 3 of their sons are buried in Elmwood Cemetary in Mason City, IA. Earl Wayne & Wanye Lincoln both have markers, but Floyd & Verna who sahre a plot do not. According to cemetary records they are buried right next to Wayne. Floyd Jr. is nearby but I have not been able to locate a marker for him either.

I am trying to save some money to maybe put a marker up for my G-Grand Father and his second wife, so other researchers will be able to locate them in the future.

Just thought I would pass this info along, in case anyone ever went looking for Verna.

Thanks,
Christine Clark-Kingston

Re: Family Demeris

@@amadoll@yahoo.com — 2005-10-21 21:42:43Z

Noticed for the first time your email concerning the surname "Demeris." My family has handed down the name as a middle name for numerous generations. The oldest connection I have is a Emma Demaris Dotson Alley Ireson (Dotson is the maiden name.) She was married to Jim Ireson in 1893 in Virginia. According to legend it is much older and we have wondered if it originated as a surname. If you ever run across any links between the families, please let us know.

Sincerely,
Amadoll

John B. DeMaris and Mary Bean

@@bonnielease@verizon.net — 2004-11-05 20:33:15Z

My grandfather was the son of John B. DeMaris and Mary Bean. His name was Lawrence Charles DeMaris. Mary died May 4, 1890 while John was at sea. The children were placed in an orphanage. When John returned home, his captain Lewis Scott Lee and his wife Hester Stillman Smallwood took in youn Lawrence. Nine years later, in 1899, the Lee's legally adopted him, renaming him Lewis Charles Lee. I just found out that there is a much wider family out there than I realized. I would love to have any information that anyone has on John and Mary or any of their other children, Annie, Elizabeth, Hattie and William.

I have his adoption papers and would be more than happy to share copies and other information.

Many thanks,

I found these messages very interesting. I'm looking for the family of John and Nancy A. Owen Martin. John's sister, Mary, was married to Enoch Demeris, and I believe several family members went west from Wapello County, Iowa right after the Civil War. Another sister, Rebecca, married James Gordon and went to Oregon. A brother, John, went to Washington Territory, and a brother, Samuel, went to Oregon. I am serching for information about John and Nancy Martin and their children, Monroe, Samuel, J. Crittenden, William, Clay Deen, Serilda, Ada, and Rosa. I show that Clay homesteaded in Walla Walla County, Washington in the early 1900's, but have no other information about the family once they moved west. I'd appreciate any information about this family.

DeMerice, another Demaris line

ljac0927 — 2001-09-08 19:12:09Z

Hi to all of you Demaris relatives. I believe that I am a descendent of the Demaris line. My ggggrandparents were John Demaris and Abigail Shaw. My gggrandfather Ethan Allan (Ephriam) Demaris (b1816)had several wives. My gggrandmother was Cynthia Ann Kennedy My ggrandfather was Charles Kennedy Demaris (born1851). Charles married Elizabeth Booth. I believe that the spellig of the name changed with either Ethan or Charles. My grandfather was James Weaver DeMerice (b1885) who married Mary Bell(Mamie) Waldo. My father, James Arthur DeMerice, died when I was a small child. My mother was Nellie Adrianna Bajema. She is also deceased. I am just beginning my search, know very llittle and can prove nothing beyond my grandfather, James Weaver My brother does have all of Furman's books but I have not had a chance to see them yet. Any help or tips on how to proceed whould be appreciated. I am amazed at the number of Demaris connections out there, as growing up, I knew no one with the Demaris or DeMerice name, other than my immediate family. If anyone out there has a connection with my line I would love to hear from you.

Thanks, Linda
