Charles C. Chaney's Dameron-Damron Family Association page

An organization studying the genealogy of the Dameron and Damron family of the United States of America.

The purpose of The Dameron-Damron Family Association is researching the history and ancestry of the family as well as disbursing information through the family newsletter. The Dameron-Damron Family Association is a non profit organization with all dues and income above the cost of publishing and distribution of the Family newsletter going toward family research.

Most who carry the name, in either spelling, descend from Lawrence Dameron who received a land grant in Northumberland County, Virginia, in 1652. Lawrence and his wife, Dorothy, along with their children, were the first documented Damerons to come from England to settle in Virginia. Lawrence (1615-1657) married Dorothy (?) (????-c1691) before 1644.
Children: Bartholomew, George, Thomas, Lawrence, Dorothy
(Note: Most Dameron-Damron families in the United States descend from Lawrence who apparently came from Suffolk County, England. There are some Dammerons who came from Germany.)
