BENJAMIN HART LEFT SANDISFIELD. AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF HARD TRAVELING, THEY REACHED WEST NEWTON, PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE THE PARTY SEPARATED. EZEKIEL DEMING AND DR. HART CAME ON TO WATERFORD, OHIO, WHERE THEY SPENT THE WINTER. IN FEBRUARY, COL. SIMEON DEMING STARTED THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PARTY AND THE GOODS DOWN THE RIVER ON A FLAT BOAT. HE THEN STARTED OVERLAND WITH THE STOCK. THEY REACHED THEIR DESTINATION IN LATE FEBRUARY, AND SOUGHT OUT THEIR LANDS THAT THEY HAD DRAWN IN THE RAINBOW ALLOTMENT OF THE 100,000 ACRE DONATION TRACT. A CABIN WAS BUILT ON THE LAND OF SIMEON DEMING, WHERE THEY LIVED UNTIL SPRING, WHEN THE WORK OF CLEARING THE PLANTING WAS COMMENCED.

THE FOLLOWING SEASON, AN EPIDEMIC OF SMALL POX SPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE DEMING CABIN WAS MADE A PEST HOUSE. EZEKIEL DEMING, JOSEPH WOLCOTT, ASA BEACH, WILLIAM WOODFORD, HORACE WOLCOTT AND HIS FAMILY, AND SIMEON DEMING AND HIS FAMILY WERE ALL CONFINED IN THIS ONE CABIN. THEY WERE ATTENDED BY A PHYSICIAN FROM VIRGINIA.
EZEKIEL DEMING CLEARED HIS LAND, AND HE PLANTED AN ORCHARD. HE THEN RETURNED TO SANDISFIELD. IN SEPT 1799, HE MARRIED HANNAH PARKE, A DAUGHTER OF JACOB PARKE AND EUNICE (SMITH) PARKE.

EZEKIEL AND HANNAH DEMING ARE BURIED IN SWINDERMAN CEMETERY, FOUR MILES NORTH OF WATERTOWN, OHIO.

WATERTOWN WAS NAMED ITS NAME BECAUSE AT THE THIME OF THE TOWN MEETING TO CHOOSE A NAME IT RAINED, AND RAINED, AND RAINED. EZEKIEL DEMING CAN BE CALLED A FOUNDER OF THE THAT SMALL TOWN.
