I decided I could not let the opportunity to post something on a leap-day escape me, so here goes.
I spent a week in New England again this month and had time to do some more Dadmun research. This time we visited some cemeteries in Massachusetts to see gravesites for some of the earlier Dadmuns. We found Betsey Pike Dadmun in the Heart Pond Cemetery in South Chelmsford. Her son, Willard, and his family are buried in the cemetery in Harvard, MA, not to be confused with Harvard, the college in Cambridge. We also found great-great grandfather William H. Dadmun in the Common Street Cemetery in Watertown. Not bad, considering we had only an afternoon to scramble from site to site. We know there are others buried in the Common Street Cemetery, but they do not appear to have been marked. Until an obituary clipping or some other such evidence comes to light, we don’t know where great-great grandmother Charlotte Turner Dadmun is buried. She may also be in the Common Street Cemetery. I hope to find out.
This seems like a good time to build the Dadmun family page here on the site. I will try to get something done about that soon, since I have a wealth of information on them so far, including some notes, observations and clippings put together by a cousin back in the early 1900s, with additions and modifications through the mid-1900s.
My name is Jeffrey Glenn Dadmun I was born on May 7th 1963 My father was Karl Lee Dadmun he was born on August 28th 1941 and he died on Jan 10th 1993 His father was Carl F Dadmun he was born on Feb 24th 1918 died on Dec 4th 1997 his mother was Elizabeth Dadmun I think she was born in 1894 we have her last name of Dadmun because my grandfather Carl never knew who his father was we are from Foxboro Massachusetts and my great grandmother Elizabeth was from Allston or Boston and she lived in Union New Hampshire where she died Just trying to find more family members thank you
I would also like to add that the Dadmun name was orginally Travis from Samuel Travis who left Scotland and came and settled in Framingham Massachusetts I think in 1670 He changed the name to Dadmun because he left Scotland and was not happy with the way it was ruled at the time and wanted to start his life in America So Thank You Samuel Travis for giving all of us Dadmuns a great last name and coming to the best Country in the World
