US & Int'l Marriage Records - SAR Membership application dated 19 Apr 1894
George Rogers Howell's History of Southampton (1877) states that John and Thomas Deming or Diamont first appeared in Wethersfield, Conn., records in 1635-45. and that they were probably brothers.
The Dimon name, represented in East Hampton and Southampton for two hundred and fifty years, was formerly spelled in various ways, as Diament, Dymont, Diamont, Dimond and Deming, but descendants of the early settler in East Hampton now spell the name Dimon.
Thomas Dimon. or Deming, is on record that he married Mary Sheaff or Sheaffe in Wethersfield, Conn. on July 24, 1645 and his son James was born in 1646. Thomas Dimon's (or Deming's) shipyard in Wethersfield, 1648, is mentioned as the place where one of the first ships of the colony, the Tryall, was built.
Thomas removed with his family to Farmington, Conn., thence to Southampton, New York, where he was granted land in 1659, and went to East Hampton in 1663 and remained there.

About About Thomas Deming, of East Hampton
Thomas Deming is a part of Connecticut History.
Biography
NOTE: Do not confuse this Thomas Deming with Thomas Dimon of Fairfield, Connecticut, who died in 1658. They are two different men.
Thomas was a settler in the eastern part of Long Island which was under English rule, during the early period when western Long Island was under Dutch rule as part of New Netherland; he had a land grant in Southampton (founded in 1640) on Long Island in 1659 and moved to E. Hampton 1663
PARENTS: There are no references in any of the early genealogies or in any of the reputable sources listing, or even suggesting parents for immigrant Thomas (of Wethersfield, Farmington, and Long Island). Parents Jonathan Deming and Elizabeth (Gilbert) Deming are probably a confusion with Jonathan Deming (c.1639-1700) and Elizabeth (1654-1714) from a later generation. If anyone has a valid source for these parents we can easily re-attach this pedigree.
THOMAS, Wethersfield, perhaps br. of first John, m. 24 July 1645, Mary Sheaffe, was of Farmington, and rem. again to Southampton, L. I. thence to Easthampton, where posterity is still liv.[1]
Thomas Deming was listed as a first proprietor of Farmington, Connecticut.[2]
Thomas Damon m. Mary Shaff, July 24, 1645 in Hartford, Connecticut.[3] Please note that this is in the Hartford records, not Wethersfield, or any of the other places listed on the internet.
A couple of death dates have been listed on these profiles and elsewhere. 1658 in Fairfield, CT (which looks likes after his children were born) , 1683 East Hampton, Long Island or July 28 1683 in Wethersfield. Note: the 1658 death in Fairfield is that of a different man, Thomas Dimon.
In 1648, Thomas Dimon (or Deming's) shipyard in Wethersfield is mentioned as the building place of one of the first ships in the colony. Thomas removed with his family to Farmington, Connecticut and from there went to Southampton, Long Island. He had a land grant there in 1659. He went to East Hampton in 1663, where he died 1682/3. Mary Sheaff his wife died in 1706. Their children were: James 1646, Thomas, Sarah m. a Headley of New Jersey, Abigail, Hannah m. a Bird, Elizabeth m. a Miller, Ruth m. a Dayton, John who died without issue before 1682.[4]
Thomas Dymon gave his record of lands in Southold in 1663: 6 acres in HogNeck, a first lot at Accobauk, a first lot at Corchaug, 20 Acres in the old town, old field; 112 acres of woodland, a lot and a half of meadow at Accobauk. Sounds like he had been in Southold for awhile to have acquired so much land.[5] Also in 1663, a Thomas Dimon was witness to Will in Southampton in 1663.[6]

About Jonathan Deming
It was during the period of vacillating policy prior to the St. Bartholomew massacre that John deMing, father of Jonathon, was born in France sometime around 1560. It would appear that he spent his entire life in that country as he also died there in Picardy. But there are those who postulate that he may have been among a group of adherents to the Reformation who went to Holland for a time during one of the periods of the greatest persecution. Despite the upheavals undoubtedly prevalent in his life, His son, Jonathan, decided to stop capitalizing the "M" in their surname. born in 1585. They were Huguenot's, French Protestants who were part of the Reformation that challenged the existing order of the Roman Catholic Church.
As early as 1525, shortly after Martin Luther -- and a few years later John Calvin -- launched the Reformation, the first Huguenot martyrs were burned at the stake. In 1535, ad edict was issued by the French rulers ordering the extermination of the heretics, an action that precipitated a general emigration. Succeeding decades saw period when Huguenot's were allowed extermination of the heretics, an action that precipitated a general emigration. Succeeding decades saw period when Huguenot's were allowed the liberty of their conscience to worship in their own way, interspersed with violent episodes in which many were killed. The savagery of the religious conflict reached its zenith with the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre at which an estimated 20,000 Huguenot's were slain.

It would appear that he spent his entire life in that country as he also died there in Picardy because of the Huguenot troubles, but it may simply have been a desire to simplify the name. In 1609, he married Elizabeth Gilbert of Worcestershire and they produced two known sons, one of whom, John, became the progenitor of the family in America.

These were the civil and religious fathers of the Colony. They formed its free and happy constitution, were its legislators, and some of the chief pillars of the church and commonwealth. They, with many others of the same excellent character employed their abilities and their estates for the prosperity of the Colony. --------------------http://our-harris-ID: I17474

The family of Jonathan deMing lived in Picardy, France where he was born in 1585. They were Huguenots, French Protestants who were part of the Reformation that challenged the existing order of the Roman Catholic Church.

Despite the upheavals undoubtedly prevalent in his life, John deMing married and sired two sons and a daughter.
------------------Sometime after the turn of the century, Jonathon deMing left his native Province in northern France. He crossed the English channel and took up residence at Colchester, a town located in Essex, an English county on the channel just across from France. Upon his arrival, or perhaps before, he dropped the capital "M" in the middle of the surname and thenceforth spelled it Deming. It has been speculated that the change was made because of the Huguenot troubles, but it may simply have been a desire to simplify the name.
In 1609, he married Elizabeth Gilbert of Worcestershire and they produced two known sons, one of whom, John, became the progenitor of the family in America. (Taken from: A Family History, by Donovan Faust)
(Some researchers believe that Jonathan deMing died in Colchester, Essex, England.)
Savage adds confusion to this Deming; See Vol 2 page 35 - Perhaps this Jonathan is also an immigrant. There are date problems as some sources show his birthdate as October 18, 1585. Savage is not an accurate source as he has made many errors.

Deming History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Deming Family
The surname Deming was first found in at the foundations of Venice (Italian: Venezia), with the Minotto family.
Deming Name Meaning
English: from Old English demung ‘judgement’, ‘act of judging’, hence a metonymic occupational name for a judge or for an arbiter of minor disputes. Compare Deemer and Deem.
Deming Spelling Variations
Enormous variation in spelling and form characterizes those Italian names that originated in the medieval era. This is caused by two main factors: regional tradition, and inaccuracies in the recording process. Before the last few hundred years, scribes spelled names according to their sounds. Spelling variations were the unsurprising result. The variations of Deming include deMing, deMinge, Diament, Dimon, Dymont, Diamont, Dimond, Dymond, Demon, Dement, Menico, Menichi, Menech, Minico, Minichi, Menego, Meneghi, Menega, Menoga, Menoghi, Minigo, Menco, Menchi, Menci, Minco, Mengo, Menghi, Menga, Mingo, Minghi, Meni, Misotti, Minuziano, Mingoti, Menochio, Minelli, Minnelli, Menis, De Minico, Menichelli, Minichelli, Minichiello, Meneghelli, Meneghello, Meneghel, Menichini, Minichini, Minichino, Meneghini, Meniconi, Meneghino, Meneghin, Menicucci, Minicucci, Meneguzzi, Menoncini and many more.
