Demaree graveyard.
(Ayler Farm)
Milton Twp.
Sec. 23 Twp 4N Range 11E
by Robert W. Scott
John Paul DAR transcriptions in the 1940s say that this is the Ayler Farm.
Jefferson Co. road maps in the 1990s do not show a cemetery in Section 23,
which is downstream from Manville. Property maps suggest this cemetery was
on the north side of the Indian-Kentuck in a thin sliver of property that
borders Section 24 on the East. in the SE1/4. This sliver was owned by
members of the Demaree family according to the 1876 Jefferson County plat
map and 1900 property map, and by J. Ayler in a property map ca. 1927. The bulk
of the Demaree and Ayler property was in the neighboring Section 24.
The dates and notes about the family below are all by the DAR Although
transcription says Daniel Demaree's wife erected his gravestone, perhaps
the reason she is buried in nearby in the Joyce Cem. is that the coupled
separated according to a news item in a Madison paper in 1818.
- Buell, Jepthah Apr. 12, 1807-May 12, 1835
- Daniel Demaree died Mar. 26, 1845 in the 56th year of his age.
Erected by his wife Sarah.
(At one time there were many graves here.)
Sarah Demaree, w of Daniel, is buried near by in the Joyce graveyard
-died Jan. 20, 1891, age 97 years.
Daniel was the son of Samuel & Mary Brewer Cozine.
