Notes |
- This family is related to our family lines in several different waysthrough intermarriage between the families of Duree', Elkins, Banta,Douglass, Cowenhoven, and VanCleave. Some are direct lines ofmarriage to Demarest ancestors, and others are half-lines throughmarriage when one widowed parent remarries into this family eitherdirectly or through one of the other family lines mentioned. It is avery tangled weave I must say, and thus the family is an integral partof our present day families in America.
It is so tangled and so enmeshed that this compiler has only gatheredinformation that is informative on the earlier generations and a fewof the family lines in Indiana, USA. I would highly recommend thebook sourced and referenced to anyone who is interested in the family. Because the book does continue the generations into the 1900's in allof the states of the USA and in Canada, it's an extremely informativework of genealogy on the "des Marets, DeMarest" Family line/s.
