  Notes	Names of his children are from his will and from the story of one of his children's (Samuel's) children (this recorded in Caughron 47). Caughron records a visit to his grave, and gives transcriptions of the 14 stones in the cemetery on his property. There is a town in Pendleton Co., Kentucky named "Demossville" which is apparently named after this family; it was chartered in 1860 (See USGenWeb for Pendleton Co., Kentucky). "The DeMoss family," according to the history of Demossville on this site, "was buried in a cemetery near the Campbell County line on the banks of the Licking River." He was reburied in Grandview Cemetery in Campbell Co. in 1965.
