This http://www.virginiadot.org/vtrc/main/online_reports/pdf/75-r72.pdf lists road orders in Albemarle County from 1744-1748 and lists Lazarus Dameron several places – here’s one:
9 April 1747 O.S., p. 268
Road./.
Ordered Lazarus Dameron with his Three Sons Thomas Tindall Benjamin Tindall John Clark
Charles Bond & his Tithables Richard Hall John Hall Thomas McDaniel and his hands do clear
the Road from the Court House Shepards Ford Lazarus Dameron Overseer. & c
There are more reports for other counties here

“I understand that there was a lot of intermarrying from the Pocohantas Powhowtan tribe and the Cherokees.”
Hmmmm…..Very doubtful…Highly Unlikely. The Powhatan were/are Algonquin and the Cherokee were/are Iroquoian. Two seperate languages and people entirely. Usually in opposition of one another historically. Plus there were no Cherokee lving in the area of the Powhatan when Pocahontas was alive. Just another misconception that people believe as fact-based over time.
Also quite a few Damron, Kyser, etc. families living in Wayne Co. W.V. Kysers married into the Blue family that traces back to Shawnee. I suspect the Damrons may trace to Shawnee ties as well from both Wayne Co. W.V. and Floyd Co. Kentucky, but I haven’t got the family completely sorted through yet…just appears as so.
In response to Steve O:
STeve darling, I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say about intermarrying. I meant that Cherokees and Powhowtans intermarried sometimes with the white Europeans. Pocahantas herself, married John Wolfe from England. I love to study history!! I am just like you sweetie, I am trying to figure out the puzzle pieces! How did I and my Grandmother end up originally in Wise Co. Va. from Prince Edward Co. Va (which was not far from the Powhowtan Tribe) at the time when this terrtory was laid out differently. Who are my ancestors, and who married who? How did we get to where we are now.
Damron Brothers:
Barbara thank you so much for the helpful information. I will try to research that. Have a wonderful day.
Greydove/indian genealogy site:
Thank you so much for the site address. I was able to locate information on my Day and Mullins ancestors which was very useful.
Sandra, you are welcome! I have been going back to that site alot myself, there is alot to take in. Blessings~^!Greydove
Hey Barbara,
I could not find a road record either but i did find a land record with a James Owl he made is mark with a X in the same area and same time as Moses Damron. I have given up on Aggy Owl i hope they find out who she was for sure someday.
After watching The National Geographic show on DNA, i have my doubts on that for know.
As for the Damron’s what i have found is some of them have native bloodlines and some of them do not, i know there is quite a few of them buried in White Oak OK, were my mother was born most there with cherokee blood connections.
There is Tara Rene Damron Miss Osage 2003 i think was the year in the Osage Nation OK who comes out of the Moses Damron line but of course this came through marriage.
Thanks for looking and posting the link i doubt if there is a road record but not for sure.
Could this be an Owl?

Ephraim Osborn/Bolling/Pocohantas Connection:
Hey Bill
I appreciated your clip about indian territory relatives. It is my understanding that these wonderful ancestors were direct descendents of Pocahantas (Powhowtans). There is a list I will try to find out for you how the Osborn’s or (Osbourne’s) related to her and the Powhowtans:
Ephraim Osborn (credits: this list is part of Bill Child’s list above)
Stephen Osborn
Jonathan Osborn
Robert Osborn
Enoch Osborn 2
Timothy Rourk
I did some research and found the Pocahontas connection. It is Ephraim Osborn ( or some spell it Osbourne today):
Letter to Mr. Powell by Ms. Lopez below:
Mr. Powell,
I just recently found out that I am a decsendant of Pocahontas though my 7th great- grandfather Ephriam Osborn. I am wanting to learn all I can about Pocahontas and any other info on her family and her ties to the Osborn and Bolling lines. Also any history on her tribe and father and mother. If you can help me in any way please email me and let me know. If you would snail mail me the info I would gladly pay you for the postage. My private email is slopez@blomand.net
I am trying to conect my self to Pocahontas though my 7th great-grandfather Ephrimas Osborn. His son Solomon Osaborn married Hannah Bolling, and so on. If anyone has any info that can help me please email me at my private email: slopez@blomand.net Any help will be greatly appericated.
Thanks in advance

Powhowtans/Pocohantas/Osborns:
This was very interesting concerning the Bolling’s and Osborn’s. I found this research from Genealogy.com forum and clip directed under Shirley Lopez.
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/5049/indian.html (simply glue and paste). This site breaks down a little more specifically how Thomas Rolfe (One half powhowtan) married Jane Polythress, then on to Jane Rolfe (Pocahontas’s grandbaby) married a Colonal Bolling, then on down to Hannah Bolling marrying Solomon Osborn, then on to our Osborn (Osbourne) relatives in Va. now. It is really interesting reading. This research that was found at site: Geocities.com by Author of My Native American Ancestors.
Blevins/Osborn:
Hey Steve O,
Well God Bless her, then she may be a possible descendent of Pocahontas?? That would be awesome!! Well, I am researching on, but really, that is wonderful!! Any help with the lines would be great. She might have some ideas and information that I have no clue on!! The information above is really interesting, I tell ya!!! It really enlightened me. If you have lines from Prince Edward Co, VA or Albemarle Co., Va, then more likely than not the Powhowtan tribe is going to fit in there somewhere. Even though I was raised in the south, my people are all from SW Virginia. Blessings to you and her and have a wonderful week.
Just a note, it looks as though your grgrandsire was the one my granpaw was named after, he was born in Wise County and they named him after the man who fetched the doctor when he was being born. His name is Elijah Creech Minor. The Minors married into the Creeches on one line, but am not directly related to Creeches. Tari:D
