From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Gemariah
     Jehovah has made perfect. (1.) The son of Shaphan, and one of
     the Levites of the temple in the time of Jehoiakim (Jer. 36:10;
     2 Kings 22:12). Baruch read aloud to the people from Gemariah's
     chamber, and again in the hearing of Gemariah and other scribes,
     the prophecies of Jeremiah (Jer. 36:11-20), which filled him


     with terror. He joined with others in entreating the king not to
     destroy the roll of the prophecies which Baruch had read
     (21-25).
     
       (2.) The son of Hilkiah, who accompanied Shaphan with the
     tribute-money from Zedekiah to Nebuchadnezzar, and was the
     bearer at the same time of a letter from Jeremiah to the Jewish
     captives at Babylon (Jer. 29:3, 4).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
