Hi Tina,

I have acquired a book "Descendants of Anthony Demings and Elizabeth Tuck" from The Shelburne County Genealogical Society. That is where the Demings originally settled.
Here is the first paragraph: Family folklore says Anthony, Born in Oporto, Portugal was kidnapped as a child and taken along with his nurse to Salem, Massachusetts. He later moved to Manchester, Mass. He was a master of a fishing vessel and landed in North East Harbour, Shelburne County about 1767. Tradition says be brought his wife and son back and settled at Port Razoir (Now Shelburne). He had built a cabin here and was established begore Colonel Alexander NcNutt arrived. As one of the "old settler" he received a Loyalist grant in what is now called Carleton Village. He is listed on the 1786 and 1791 Poll Tax records as a farmer. In 1788 he was appointed the fence viewer for his area.
I have seen the spelling of DeMings; Demmings; and Deming.
My spelling is Demings.
Who is your husband's family? And where are you located?
I have recently started back up again and would like to connect with other again.
I am willing to help in anyway I can.

Hope to hear from you,

Karla
