Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogy of the Descendants of John Deming of Wethersfield, Connecticut: With Historical Notes After twelve years of correspondence and research, this work is presented to the members of the Deming Family, as the most complete history and genealogy, thus far published, of the descendants of Hon. John Deming of Wethersfield, Conn. No apologies are offered for the errors and omissions which will undoubtedly be discovered in this volume. It is probable that no genealogical work has been carried on under more discouraging circumstances. Begun as a pastime for the few leisure hours of a busy man, it grew to such proportions that its completion seemed a duty. No professional genealogist was found, who was willing to undertake the work, unless guaranteed unlimited funds for the purpose. The task was therefore assumed by the compiler of this work, at his own expense, supplemented by a large part of his time and labor. Systematic searches were made among original records of births, deaths, marriages, wills, and land transfers, in most of the towns, churches, and cemeteries of Connecticut, Western Massachusetts, and Eastern New York. Correspondence was opened with members of the family in every state and territory of the Union, and in Canada, necessitating the writing of over 10,000 letters. Thanks are due to those who, at considerable trouble, supplied private family records, and patiently replied to letters of inquiry.
