When a boy, he was taken prisoner by a drunken Hessian trooper, whom he pushed off his horse while fording a stream, and thus escaped. He studied under Dr. Solomon Froeligh, and was licensed as a minister in the Reformed Dutch church in 1789. He owned the farm at Tappan where Maj. John Andre was buried. In August, 1821, the British government, at the request of Andre's sisters, sent a man-of-war to transfer the remains to England. The Duke of York, uncle of Queen Victoria, was on board, and was entertained by Mr. Demarest, who afterward received from the duke a gold-lined snuff-box, made from the cedar-tree whose roots had been found entwined, about the skeleton. Andre's sisters sent him a silver communion service, designed for the use of a Roman Catholic priest, under a mistaken idea that such was his character. Mr. Demarest returned the service, with explanations, and it was replace by a large silver cup, appropriately inscribed. Mr. Demarest seceded from the Reformed church, with Dr. Solomon Froeligh, in 1822, and was suspended in 1824. -- His grandson, James, b. in Williamsburg, L.I., 28 June, 1832...." Rev.
