--------------------------------

"GEORGE, son of above Lawrence, who married Elizabeth Dennis, widow of John Dennis, in 1679 or 1680. He inherited the manor at Guarding Point in Wicomico Parish, which was kept by his descendants until 1819 when land was deeded by Robert J. Dameron to John Hopkins Harding and William Harding, brothers. Robert made deeds to both Hardings and Jennie Harding Cornelius says: 'All William's brothers inherited much property and money from him and it is likely this property was bought by William Harding and given to his brother J. Hopkins or his children.' The old Dameron house was torn down about 1819 . George Dameron died 1698 and his brother Bartholomew administered the estate April 15, 1702. The children of George Dameron were Elizabeth, Thomas, George and Lazarus."

Notes

From https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/44489327

Lazarus Dameron probably was born Wicomico Parish. His parents George Dameron & Elizabeth Bunbury/Bumbury/Bunberry. More proof needs to be found to confirm Elizabeth's maiden name. She did marry a John Dennis before George Dameron.

• Name: GEORGE DAMERON 1
• Sex: M
• Birth: 1649 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England 2
• Death: 1698 in Heathsville, Northumberland Co., Va

Note:

• George, born 164_, married Elizabeth, widow of John Dennis, 1679 or 1680. At the time of her marriage, Elizabeth had an infant daughter Sarah, described as "daughter and heir of John Dennis", who married Philip Tignor in 1699, as a later record shows.

The brothers Bartholomew and George Dameron were prominent in county and church affairs and in organizing and shaping the life of this early community. The Dameron family, through its long history, though seldom holding political office, always maintained its prominence and distinction in social, civic and church life in this historic center of old Virginia.

George Dameron died intestate early in 1698. On 19 MAY of that year, Bartholomew was appointed administrator of the estate of his brother, and, as no mention is made of his wife Elizabeth either at that time or later, her death doubtless occurred before that of her husband.

George inherited his father's plantation "Guarding Point" on the Chesapeake Bay in Northumberland Co., VA. The direct male descendants of George Dameron remained in possession of the original land bequeathed to him by his father, Lawrence, until the death of Robert J. Dameron in 1849. A court record shows that the "Manor House" of George Dameron was used by Gov. Berkeley at some time during his exile at the time of Bacon's Rebellion.

Thomas Dameron, a grandson of Lawrence, the immigrant, erected early in 1700 a beautiful brick residence near the original home site which is yet known in Northumberland County as the "Brick Walls."

George's children were Elizabeth, Col. Thomas, George and Lazarus.

The home sets on land purchased by Lawrence Dameron in 1655 and held in the Dameron family for over 200 years. The property was also known as Garden Point and Dameron Marsh. A home known as Gascony borders the property and is said to have been burnt by the British during the Revolution, it also came into the possession of the Harding family and was rebuilt in 1848. Dameron Marsh is now a 316 acre Natural Area Preserve
