Yes, we are eighth cousins through our common ancestor Thomas Damon, b. 31 Jan 1658, at Reading Massachusetts. Thomas Damon was married to Lucy Ann Emerson.
Yes, I am related to Thomas Damon, too. Thomas' father, Deacon John Damon, was my 9th great grand father. My father's name was Damon Humphrey Wilman -- all three names were his family's last names.
I might just be. I am 12th generation from John Damon of Scituate, Massachusetts. It was said that the Damon's who settled Reading were brothers of John that came over from England several years later.
I know, that he totally looks like my brother.. but no clue, if we are related.. So weird feeling looking at his movies :D
