Where Roots
and Branches Collide
The Dement Family
Anthony
holds his mother's maiden name, Dement.
We have been able to
trace down through the internet and through distant relatives the Dement
family line and have found some rather interesting things. But we have
currently hit a stone wall in Bertie, North Carolina in 1740 where we cannot
trace further at the moment--the records stop there for us. We have seen
stories that the Dements are decedents of the French Huguenots but have been
unable to substantiate these stories with documentation. One online family
tree states lineage of Charles Dement going back to his grand father Charles
Dement of Rochell, France who was the grandson of Pierre Du Gua, Sieur De
Monts who founded and settled in Acadia. After speaking with Gary Dement on
18 May 2006, Anthony's first cousin once removed, he has confirmed the fact
we did descend from the Du Guas, De Monts of France and that we were from
minor royalty. The De Mont was a title in the middle ages and since the
majority of royalty was Roman Catholic, the De Monts had to flee France
because of their Calvinistic practices. They became the French Huguenots.

Descendant Chart follows. I've also included a
genealogy report but left certain things
private for living individuals.
