      Jesse Dement died Jan 17-1781 in (now) Canton Twp (then 
      Yohogania Co, Va. He was a brother of Banajah and George. 
      Jesse's estate was administered by James Dement, "next-of-kin", 
      likely an uncle.
      
           Three Dement brothers, Benajah in 1773, Jesse in 1775 and George in 
      1776 had made settlements on Little Wheeling Creek, now Ohio Co, W Va. 
      Jesse in 1775 had also made a settlement on Chartiets Creeek, now Can- 
      ton Twp. In 1780 Indian troubles drove Benajah, Jesse and George to 
      Canton Twp. Jesse died in 1781 and in 1784 Benajah and George returned 
      to Ohio County. George died in 1798 and Benajah in 1817.
       
           Benoni, likely a brother of James, was in Kentucky 1774-1776, Can- 
      ton Twp 1777-1784, Kentucky 1785. The Indians had captured Benoni's 
      son, Jarrett, in Kentucky in 1776. Jarrett and brother, James, served 
      under Captain William Leet 1777-1782 in Pennsylvania. In Jarrett's 
      1833 pension application (S30984) he said that he moved to Pennsylvan- 
      ia early in 1777.

      This was one of many western Pennsylvania families with connections 
      in Kentucky. Elijah Nuttle (Nuttall) lived near the Dements in Canton. 
      He went to Kentucky in 1785, about the same time as Benoni Dement, who 
      was in Kentucky May 5-1785. A Dement son married a Nuttall daughter.
