Dameron-Dameron Family Association Page

An unofficial site relating to the Dameron-Damron Family Association

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

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.)


Damron DNA Project

A Damron DNA Project has been initiated at Family Tree DNA.
This includes the name Dameron and Damron as well as various other versions.

DDFA Board Vacancies

The DDFA board has vacancies that must be filled soon. This is a chance to take part in our quarter-century old organization.  Very few have expressed an interest which is unfortunate if DDFA is to continue to function efficiently.

Board members should be able to "attend" a monthly online meeting. (AOL's AIM is used for the meetings.  It is a free IM service permitting the board to open a chat room for online meetings.)  At the moment, this meeting is on the second Wednesday at 8:00 EST each month. However, the time can be adjusted when necessary.

Board members should be able to participate in some manner rather than simply joining the chat room meeting. Essentially, the board is ultimately responsible for the publication of the newsletter, managing the finances, arranging an annual meeting/reunion of the membership, and generally keeping DDFA functioning and moving forward.

DDFA members are interested in the board, please contact a board members directly by clicking a board member's name on the list of board members on the membership page.



Note:  This site is NOT financed by the DDFA!  It is a personal effort that must be accepted as such.   Therefore the DDFA should not carry the responsibility for its contents.   Thanks.--Charles C.Chaney.
