(From Snow Book) The original Farm of Lazarus Damron was in Porter's Precinct, Albemarle County. It was near the land which Peter Jefferson, Father of President Thomas Jefferson, bought of Noble Ladd, on the James River -- then called the Fluvanna, above where the Hardware River flows in it.
- ** Lazarus was the First to sell his Ancestral Acres, and Pioneer into Frontier Regions, as his descendants continued to do, until the Frontier was pushed to the Pacific Ocean. In 1725, he Deeded his Land, and went to Prince William, and King George Counties, and on to Albemarle County, Virginia, where he died in 1749. Albemarle was then a Frontier, it became the Cradle of Jeffersonian Democracy, which was to become a Fundamental American Tradition after the Revolution.
Note: Part of this revolution which was centered in Albemarle, and in Patrick Henry's Region nearby, was against the Established Church, a Movement led by Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson, of Albemarle. The Damerons appear to have been active in this tradition, for many of them became strong Baptists and Methodists, especially the Families of the Revolutionary Soldiers who pushed back the Frontier. This Movement in the South was similar to the Puritan Revolution in England 1642-1650, which established a Commonwealth, until 1660, but the Restoration brought back part of the old regime. However, the Puritan churches still controlled New England, chiefly Congregational, but also Presbyterian.

From Jim French:
Lazarus3 DAMERON (George2, Lawrence1) was born in Northumberland Co., Va. ca 1689. Lazarus died ca 1749 in Albemarle Co., Va. He married Elizabeth SMITH ca 1707. Elizabeth was born 1695 ca. Elizabeth was the daughter of Richard SMITH. Elizabeth died 1735 ca. in King George Co., at 40 years of age. This death date is a supposition. We do know she predeceased Lazarus as he gave away his wife's belongings in his Will when he died in 1749. Lazarus owned land in many counties. On Oct. 18, 1726 he was granted 838 acres in King George County (which later became Prince William County). He sold that and bought 178 acres in Pr. Wm. Co. and 400 acres in Goochland Co. He also had 212 acres in Albemarle Co. He had servants and "Negros" to work his tobacco fields. Lazarus and his wife left Northumberland Co. in 1728 for King George Co., Virginia. He left King George Co. after his wife died for Goochland County on the Fluvanna River (now called the James River). He owned property north and south of the Fluvanna River (now James River) in the area opposite where the Hardeware River flows into the James. He also owned property on the Hardeware River.
Lazarus may have been a shoemaker. On May 13, 1748 the Church Wardens of St. Annes Parish bound out to Lazarus a man
