DeMent in Tahlequah OK
My dad used to talk about the our DeMent ancestors in Tahlequah Oklahoma."Dr DeMent" (all I can remember of his name) helped the Cherokee after the Trail of Tears.I am finding little information about him, except I did find a DeMent listed in the cemetery.I have been to the cemetery, and there is a DeMent plot there, with several people, including my infant brother.But, I don't have a lot of other information.The site I found lists a vault for William DeMent - here is a link for the site.

Anyone have information on this branch of the family?I would love to learn more.
