Son of Josiah & Prudence (Steele) Deming.
Married Elizabeth before 1718.
Child: Sarah (Deming) Gunn.According to the Local History section of the Berkshire Athenaeum at Pittsfield, the "widow" Sarah Deming d. March 18, 1818, per the Congregational Church records. However, there is no corresponding death record for husband Solomon. Solomon is shown in the 1790 census of Pittsfield, but not in the August 1800 or August 1810 census of Pittsfield. Solomon Deming, the husband of Sarah Kirkham, was NOT b. in June 1722 as the son of Josiah and Prudence (Steele) Deming as claimed by Stiles. He was the son of Noadiah and Ruth (Seymour) Deming of Wethersfield. A three-page handwritten journal by Josiah Wright at Fort Poontoosuck, written between April 1756 and February 1757 while he was in command of that fort during the French & Indian War (which I have a copy provided by the Mass. Historical Society) definitively proves who Solomon's parents were.
