Most of our information for John DeMunn has been handed down and is sketchy at best. We know that he married the widow Tisdale (Clarissa Goodwill) about 1821 and the couple had four documented DeMunn sons. They were Horatio Cullen D, Noble Warren D, James Monroe D and Silas T D. Clarissa had several Tisdale children from the previous marriage.
According to our family historians, John was born abt 1785 and died abt 1826 in the Darien NY area and his occupation was as a farmer and practiced law to some small extent. Little else is known. There were other DeMunn's in New York at the time but we have been unable to discover who his parents were.
In the photo section that goes with this web page, is a partial page excerpted from a book called 'Early Settlers of New York State.' The book was an early genealogy publication with histories and headstone transcriptions from the early 1900's and this page is a partial list of burials at Maple Hill Cemetery near Darien, New York.
According to the legend that goes with the book, A John DeMunn was the owner of lot 51 (north half) and a John DeMunn is buried in the lot with Samuel & Lucy Canfield and someone named Goodel. The legend indicates their were no headstones for John or the Goodel person. Those names were taken from the cemetery book at that time and no dates were listed. The only stone in the lot is for Samuel & Lucy Canfield.
I recently have been in contact with the current cemetery association for the area and they have confirmed that the old record in the book today is the same today as it was way back then for those buried in Lot 51.
As it turns out, a new discovery was made thanks to our find-a-grave partners. A photo of the back of the headstone for Samuel and Lucy Canfield, revealed the names of three of their children, G'del, James and Charlott.
Apparently, a stone may never have existed for John or it may have eroded away a long time past but thanks to a few of my friends at find-a-grave, the Canfield Stone has been located and photographed and I now have a few area shots as well.
We may never have all the answers for John and his history but we're very grateful to all of those who have put forth their best efforts in the attempt to find Johns Stone.
