Hello Cousin!
I knew Uncle Merton. Was Mert your Grandfather? Ethlene Demont was my Grandmother. I have
photographs from my Mom of the Demonts I would be happy to share. my email is
wmentus(a)gmail.com.
I discovered Sophronia's maiden name was Savage. In a small collection of items from
my Grandmother, there's a note with some handmade lace that mentions George Demont as
"Absconding" leaving her and young Clinton and returning to Canada. I did make
contact with the Clerk in Holland NY where Clinton was born but a lot of their birth
records before 1875 were destroyed in a fire, so it seems we may never learn where he
went. I was in contact with a gentleman who had a lot of information on the name Demont in
Nova Scotia. He told me they were actually descended from "Demone" from Germany,
but I haven't been able to connect George there. I wonder if he was De Mont or Du Mont
originally The Hayward side is very rich and a lot of fun to research. Thanks for
responding, I have to admit I've strayed away from here as well, but I plan to be more
active. Please stay in touch.
Regards
Bill Mentus
