420 Elbert has always been known to us as "Al". He was always an outgoing boy in school and very active with his friends. He was in Scouts and spent all his summers at Boy Scout Camps, with his father. Al spent a lot of vacations with his grandmother in Mass. He loved spending time with his grandmother Damon "Grammy" and his Uncle Gerald, who was about his same age, running around Williamstown, Mass. He entered the United States Air Force when he was 19 and was trained as a Medic. Al was stationed at Charleston, S.C., but spent a lot of time flying overseas to such places as Brazil, Japan, Vietnam, Surinam and Dominican Republic. These flights were primarily to treat Military personnel in isolated areas. He met his wife Sharon during his second year in the service. They were married one year later and then moved back to York Pa. when he was discharged as a Sgt. Al always took care of the family with medical advice and help to all.
He then went to work at a Ford dealership, as a Credit manager for a number of years. He then went into work as a general contractor, and developed low income housing in the City of York, PA. After a number of years being self employed he has turned his contracting skills into a full time position as General director of housing at an elderly housing project in the City of York, PA where he has become a trusted associate that the elderly all appreciate his presence. Al raised his boys with the same caring attention he put into his medical career and his scouting career, always looking to help others, and set an example for them. He has been a family member that we all look to for advice and leadership. He continued to show his caring attitude by helping his parents as they have retired and needed constant attention.
Al has been the guiding force of this genealogy study of the Damon family. He has a sincere desire to teach his children and their children the true meaning of family and with this the hopes of the future by presenting a history of the past.

422 Elbert was the youngest child of Bradbury and Viola. He moved from Buckfield with his mother when she left with a traveling salesman, Joe Bowles. They moved to Boston where she married Charles W. Reed in 1906. He never moved back to Maine. He moved to North Adams, Mass to become a policeman and there meet Pearl VanArman and had two sons. He later became a 3rd class engineer at Sprauge Electric. At the time of his death he was working as a maintenance man there and during the winter he forgot his insulin and got caught at work during a snow storm and went into insulin shock and never recovered.
As we remember him he was a very happy person who liked to have a drink occasionally and he was very handy around the house. He built a tool shed and would spend a lot of time there. He used the paving stones form the North Adams streets when they pulled them up for the foundation and a retaining wall. He also started building a second larger house which he never completed. This building was to be partially used as a guest house.
At a family reunion in 1996 in Buckfield he was remembered, because he went back several times to visit and was a very friendly person who had a real wild side about him. He took Laura Damon back with him to visit in North Adams once and she rode back in the rumble seat and remembers it as a great trip of her youth. Laura also remembers Pearl and his two sons and the great summer vacation she had with them.
Once he was married, he never went back to visit his mother, however he did make a few trip's to Buckfield to visit friends and relatives there.

In the 1850 census, all of her children were using the name Josey. They were not adopted by him, but apparently used the last name at the time, as it was the last name their mother was using. After the children were older and left home, they began using the last name Holt again. In 1860, David Holt was in Jefferson County and was using Holt again. Thomas and David were also using the last name Holt when they joined the Confederate Army.

437 Excerpt from Pritchard Kin regarding tombstones:
"On 23 August 2004, Jo and I tried to visit Thomas and Mourning Turlington's graves. We were accompanied by Mr. Newman Smith and later joined by Tad Jackson. Both guides grew up nearby and had visited the cemetery many times in their youth. Mr. Smith said he was eighty-three. Tad said he was seventy-three. Tad Jackson said he last visited the cemetery about thirty to forty years ago. Our mother described the cemetery location in her book (Tombstone Inscriptions, p. 51).

Alas, the cemetery has been obliterated. The location is now an irrigated cornfield. It is not far from a tributary to Limestone Creek. (Strick Newsom-February 2005)."

Will:
Dated Dec. 6,1856. No probate date. He bequeathed to his wife Mourning" with whom I have lived 40 years 340 acres of land where I reside for her life, then to Henery T.

439 Exerpt from http://fingalwho.blogspot.com/2010/06/lucy-and-davis-damon.html:

Elijah, Davis Damon's father, married Sally Sears of Scituate in November of 1811. Her parents were Peter Sears and Susanna Collamore. Elijah and Sally's first child was Davis, born July 5, 1812 in Scituate. Sarah came next, in 1814, then Lucy in 1817, Hosea in 1819, and then Davis' youngest sister, Susannah Collamore Damon, born in 1824, making her twelve years younger than Davis. Susan, as she was known, would become a devoted Unitarian missionary, remain unmarried, and serve her family and community in ways that merited much admiration and celebration of her life. She and Davis would grow up in Scituate on the north side of Grove Street in a Cape Cod house that perhaps still stands. "Every Sunday they drove in a chaise to the First Church, in South Scituate Village. Elijah wore his beaver hat from Paris and Sally wore a poke bonnet. The beaver hat was carefully put away in a cardboard box. Sally also wore a black veil. The children sat on a cricket. The family pew was near the front on the broad isle. The children stayed there at noon while the parents went to Mr. Sparrell's for Sunday dinner. The hat and the veil are now the property of the Norwell (once South Scituate) Historical Society. There is a granite monument to Elijah and Sally in the First Parish Cemetery."

This newspaper clipping to the right (from old family archives) (see Media Tab) shows the Church in Hingham, Massachusetts, where the Damons were members for more than two hundred years. The Church, built in 1681 when Cohasset and Hingham were one community, is the oldest meeting house and the oldest wooden church in the US. It is known as the Old Ship's Church. Written on the clipping is this amazing story: "The Church where Elijah Damon took Abe Lincoln in 1851, then drove him home to Sunday dinner at South Scituate. Abe was just an unknown lawyer. He always remembered S. J. May, and used him during the War as a Chaplain in the Senate." Pretty cool.

FENSTERMACHER FAMILY
From: History Of Lehigh County, Vol 1,2,& 3.
Transcribed by: Sandra Hart

Philip Fenstermacher, the youngest son of Mathias, was born Feb. 27, 1713, and was also a member of the Longswamp Reformed church. At an early date he acquired valuable land on which in later years iron ore was found in large quantities. Some of this land is still in possession of his descendants. In 1767 the proprietary return shows him to have been the owner of 150 acres, and in, 1779, 250 acres. He was also the owner of land in Lynn township, this county. He died June 15, 179o, and his WILL, dated July 1, 1789, was probated at the Berks court-house, on July 9, 1790. In the will provision was made for his wife, Elizabeth and after her death for his eight sons and one daughter: (1) John and (2) Christian, who, with his wife, were the executors, were given his dwelling and plantation of 249 acres and 6o perches (3) Peter was given another plantation of 103 acres and 140 perches, whereon he then resided; (4) Jacob was given (pounds)300; (5) Abraham, (pounds)350; (6) Magdalena (wife of Christopher Eylert), (pounds)300; the remaining sons (7) Philip, (8) Michael, and (9) Daniel, were evidently provided for during the lifetime of their father. Paul Grosscup and John.Borger were the witnesses to the WILL. Elizabeth Fenstermacher, the widow of Philip, died Oct. 1, 1791, aged 65 years and 11 months. They are both buried in the old graveyard adjoining the Longswamp church, of which they had for many years been faithful members.

FENSTERMACHER FAMILY
From: History Of Lehigh County, Vol 1,2,& 3.
Transcribed by: Sandra Hart

The name Fenstermacher, was all students of German well know, is derived from a like word in that language signifying "windowmaker." By many members of the family it is spelled "Fenstermaker," and the writer of this sketch has heard of at least one instance where the still more anglicized form "Glazier" was adopted. In one of the early Berks county tax lists, the clerk who copied the record, perhaps in a spirit of humor, wrote the name "Windowmaker."

The Fenstermacher family with which we are most familiar, and whose representatives are quite numerous in this and nearby counties, has its origin in Mathias Fenstermacher, a native of the German Palatinate, who crossed the sea on the good ship "Glasgow" which landed at Philadelphia, Sept. 9, 1738. On the original list of passengers his age is given as sixty years, and he was therefore born about 1678. He was accompanied to America by his two sons, Jacob, then twenty-nine years of age, and Wilhelm, twenty-five years of age. These three were preceded to the new world by a third son, Philip, who was removed to Alburtis and there carried on a general store business until he died in 1909. Altogether he followed the life of an enterprising, successful merchant for upwards of forty years. a passenger on the good ship, Samuel, and qualified at Philadelphia, Aug. 30, 1737. He was then twenty-four years of age.

There is a tradition that the family first settled in Oley township, Berks county. The first positive record we have, however, is in the Berks county tax list of 1753, where Longswamp township is given as the residence of the father and of his two sons, Jacob and Philip. Concerning the other son, Wilhelm, who accompanied his father to the new world, nothing further is known at this time. The name of Mathias Fenstermacher appears in the early tax lists as late as 1761, at which time he probably died, being then eighty-three years old.

Jacob Fenstermacher, the eldest son of Mathias, was one of the founders of the Longswamp Reformed church. The proprietary return of 1767 shows that he was the owner of one hundred acres of land in that township, and his name appears in the federal census of 1790, indicating that he was then still living. We have no record as to the date of his death and he had no WILL. He was twice married, his second wife being the Widow Koehler, and we know of at least seven children: (1) William; (2) Anna Maria, b. May 16, 1740 (?), d. May 10, 1801 (wife of Michael Bieber, b. Feb. 11, 1740, d. Oct. 26, 1832); (3) Christian; (4) Joseph; (5) Jacob; (6) Anna Barbara; And (7) Johannes.
