  • Notes 
    • MHR note:
      Ida Cronkhite said that Jacob Demaree was a widower with four small children.

      MHR note: Jacob's parents were John Allen Demaree and Dianna Ogle. John Allen Demaree's parents were James Demaree and Nancy Clemons.

      LKH note: I can't find census records for any of the Demaree families given by MHR.
      [1, 3]
    • LKH note:
      A possible record might be Jacob Demaree, b.1828, in the 1860 US census in Shelby, Ripley County, Indiana. Wife Frances age 25; Madison age 5; Julia age 3, and Charles age 2. I can't find reliable info on them after that.
