If anyone sees a Sarah Pomfret/Pomphrett who possibly was the d/o John William Fermer Pomfret and Sarah Aylett. I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you Ann

I may be able to help you. I have relatives from Dover, NH and I have names of Pomphret and Pomfret, Sarah, Thomas, Samuel, Mary in my family. I am a descendant of the Dam and Dame family. Our family kept pretty good records and I also thought I remembered the name Nute. I remembered it because I know someone by that last name. Our Dams ended up in Northern Calif.

This is not Carol but her sister Tina. We share this site. We are desendants of the Dam/Dame. Infact our grandmother was a Dame from Somersworth, NH. I have the line from 1611. If I can help e-mail me at

I have records regarding John Dam Dame Damme -born Cheshire, England, died Dover, NH. Married Elizabeth Pomfret. These records are from my uncle William H Dame done around 1975(?). It appears that most of our Dame's ended up in the south.
