Samuel was Baptized on February 1, 1707, at the Schraalenburgh Dutch Church (present day Dumont). He died after the second half of 1783, the year in which he signed a petition. The DAR has him listed as dying prior to December 3, 1785 in Shelby County, Kentucky. But Shelby County did not exist in 1785, and I have as yet not found an explanation for this date. He is not listed in the 1787 Kentucky Tax-Census lists. So he probably died in either 1784 or 1785, in the current Shelby-Henry County area.
Samuel was married (firstly) circa 1728, to Antie Losier. He was married (secondly) on September 16, 1732 at the Schraalenburgh Dutch Church, in Bergen County, New Jersey, to Leah Demarest, his cousin.
Samuel altered the spelling of his surname from Demarest to Demaree, possibly due to there being so many family members with the same forenames. His sons, who migrated to Kentucky with him kept this spelling, whereas his son who stayed in New York kept the original spelling.
Samuel rendered service during the Revolutionary War in 1779 while living in Pennsylvania. He joined the Dutch group and migrated to Kentucky in 1780.
Samuel is probably buried at or near the Low Dutch Settlement, which was located covering a part of northern Shelby and southern Henry Counties.
