For some time I'm been attempting to locate parents of John Jay DeMott (b. 1779-1776 in Canada; d. 24 Dec 1831 in Ellery, NY; married Susannah Skinner 1795 in Poughkeepsie, NY; burried in the Red Bird Cemetery. He was the father of my great grandmother, Maria/Mariah DeMott b. 16 July 1807, d. 16 Feb 1883.There are so many Demotts, but I cannot connect him to anyone.Also, I'm wondering why it's so difficult to find Susannah Skinner.There were so many prominent Skinners in early New York.Is she related to the silk manufacturing family?
I could find no records for my great,great grandfather John Jay within Canadian records either.
Any ideas?
