SAMUEL DEMAREE was born July 30, 1816, in Jessamine County, Ky., but was
brought up principally in Mercer County, and is a son of Peter Demaree,
a native of Shelby County (this State), and born there in 1780.  Samuel's
grandfather, John D. Demaree, was a Revolutionary soldier, and a native
of New Jersey.  Samuel Demaree was brought up on the farm, and received
but a common school education.  He owns a good farm of 213 acres, a
little north of Salvisa.  He has been three times married: first to Miss
Frances Leathers, of Anderson County; second to Miss Louisa Forsten, of
Woodford County, by whom he had one child, Annie B.; his third wife was
Miss Racie L. Smith (also deceased).  This marriage resulted in the
birth of three children: Mary L., Rosella and Maggie L.  Mr. Demaree is
a member of the Methodist Church and of the Democratic party.
