| 3 | 1885-1957, American author, b. Kennebunk Maine, grad. Cornell, 1908. Well known as staff correspondent for the Saturday Evening Post and as an author of travel books, Roberts retired in 1928 to write the Chronicles of Arundel, a series of American historical novels; the series eventually included Arundel (1930), The Lively Lady (1931), Rabble in Arms (1933), and Captain Caution (1934). All Roberts's novels are colorful, exciting, and historically accurate. His later novels include Northwest Passage (1937), Oliver Wiswell (1940), Lydia Bailey (1946), and Boon Island (1956). ----- Roberts worked as a journalist until 1917, when he began service as a captain in the Intelligence Section of the U.S. Army's Siberian Expeditionary Force. He was staff correspondent of the Saturday Evening Post from 1919 until 1928, when he devoted himself to writing fiction. Believing that the past is only poorly understood through historical accounts, Roberts published Arundel (1930), a fictional treatment of the Revolutionary War.

| 14 | Capt John TUTTLE, son of John' and Dorothy Tuttle, was a man of distinction in civil and military life. He filled, successively, every public office within the gift of the citizens of Dover; and was, by appointment in 1695, Judge of Their Majesties' Court of Common Pleas under the administration of Lt. Gov. Usher. He was Selectman of Dover in 1686-87-88: Town Clerk from 1694 to 1717: Town Treasurer in 1705, and other years following: member of the Provincial Assembly in 1698-99, 1705-6-7. He was one of the six Commissioners sent from Dover to the Convention of 1689, to "meet with the Commissioners of ye other towns of ye Province, to confer about and resolve upon a method of Government within this Province." Dover Rec. The Convention met at Portsmouth, and resolved to put the Province, as it had been before, under Massachusetts, and it was done accordingly. In 1705, Col. Richard Waldron and Judge Tuttle were the "two principal men" of Dover, chosen, "to joyn with the Representatives of said Province, and them invested with full power to hear, debate, and determine matters relating to Mr. Allen's Claim." Dover Rec. Besides acting in the public capacities here named, he appears to have been, during all this time, chairman of the board of public surveyors of land. He was one of the leading members of the Church of Dover. While a member of the General Assembly in 1698, he and the other members subscribed a declaration, declaring, "That in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, there is not any transubstantiation of the Elements of Consecration thereof by any person whatsoever. And that the Invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other Saint, and the Sacrifice of the Masse, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are Superstitious and Idolatrous." The town records show a large number of special public trusts confided to him by his fellow citizens. ——- Judge Tuttle died in June, 1720, leaving a large estate which he disposed of by will among his children and grandchildren. His wife Mary survived him, and was Executrix of his will. Her family name is not known. Lieut. Tristram HEARD and Capt. Francis Mathews were named in the will as trustees of his grandchildren. | TUTTLE, Capt John (I46808)

| 24 | d/o James NEWTE (sent by Mason to Dover 1631 d. 1671. Selectman.) —— In the little Nute burying ground on the old Nute farm (next to John Damme's 20 acre lot on Back River) on the west side of the river, there are only three headstones with inscriptions. These are the graves of James Nute, founder of the Nute family in this country, and of Martha Damme and her husband, the upper part of the stone bearing his Christian name having been broken off and apparently lost. There are other graves but none marked to indicate to whom they belong. The mere fact that Martha Dam was buried by the side of James Nute is pretty good evidence that she was a pretty close relative. She was born in 1653, and it is quite evident that she must have been a daughter, and was was born apparently in 1620 or 1621. p267. | NUTE, Martha (I32)

| 40 | History of Clinch Co, Georgia" pp 164—167. https://archive.org/details/historyofclinchc00huxf/page/164/mode/2up The family came from Cheshire, England, where they have been freeholders since the reign of Edward IV, a period of about five hundred years. Where they formerly lived is now known as the parish of “Leighton-Cain Minshal Vernon", in the town of Nautwick in Cheshire. One of the most interesting stories of the English family was about Thomas Dame (or Damme, as it was sometimes spelled), who lived to a very great age. He was born in the year 1494, died 1648, age 154 years old. He was buried in the church-yard of the Parish of Church Minshal, near Middlewick in Cheshire (the place was famous for its old people). The register of his death is still in existence, and is marked around with ink to call attention to the remarkable age: “Thomas Damme of Leiggton, buried ye 20th of ffebbruarie being of the age of seven score and fourteen. 1648.” His wife is also buried in Church Minshal. He is said to have danced a hornpipe at the celebration of the opening of the present bridge over the river Weaver, at Church Minshal, he being then 104 years old." As nearly as could be found out, most of the family emigrated during the Puritan troubles in England in the seventeenth century, part going to Holland, where they are said to have established the Van Dam family, some to France, establishing the Daime family, one becoming a French General, and part to America. The first settlers of the name in America were John Dame, who settled in Dover, New Hampshire, in 1633, and became the ancestor of the Dame family in the New England States, and John Dame who settled in Virginia in 1638. John Dame, a lineal descendant of the original settler in Virginia, was an officer in the Continental army in the Revolutionary War, and commanded the Maryland Flying Corps.1 The Dame family in Georgia is descended from George Dame and Mary Greene, his wife, who lived in Christ Church parish, Middlesex County, Virginia. Their children were Mary, who married John Jarvis, and George, born March 9th, 1784, and John Dame. George and John Dame were soldiers of the War of 1812, with England. George was private, first in Cape. John Waller’s company of the 9th Regiment of Virginia Militia, and later in Capt. Tom Faulkner’s company of the 9th Regiment, and later served int eh 61st Regiment. John Dame was a private in the 21st Regiment of Virginia Militia, Gloucester County. After the War of 1812, they moved to Georgia, john settling in Jones County, and George in Montgomery County. The latter married Catherine Carter, a daughter of Elmore Carter and his wife, Delilah West, who were descended from the eminent Virginia families of those names. 1. The Flying camp was to be composed of troops from Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware for the immediate defense of New Jersey while the Main Army focused on the defense of New York. No such numbers were ever realized for this purpose, the total being under 6,000, but Maryland and tiny Delaware seemingly managed to fulfill their quotas. https://www.revwartalk.com/1st-battalion-flying-camp-1776 —— Excerpt from “Nantwich And Crewe Photographic Memories”: The people of this village were so poor that when they needed to rebuild the church, Queen Anne herself provided money for it. The date, 1702, can be seen in different coloured bricks on the tower. They might have been poor, but they must have been healthy - church registers record a John Damme who died in 1649 aged 'seven score and fourteene’... —— The old farm is now called the "Red Hall Farm". A portion of it is known to this day as "Dam's Croft's". —— One Christian, Tobias Dam, became quite eminent in Germany, during the latter half of the eighteenth century, as a theologian, and before that time Jan Dam was known as "a rebellious and troublesome subject" in New Amsterdam (now New York). There is nothing to connect these men with the English family except the name and the tradition (of the removal to Holland) spoken of. | DAMME, Thomas (I4050)

| 46 | In 1866, taxes were assessed against Leader Dam for “Pianoforce”. Pianoforce is a brand of player piano. Presumably, patrons would put money in the piano to hear it play in the days before jukeboxes. Leader and some of his friends invested in this device, and each made a small annual income from it. In 1866, Leader earned $267, of which he had to pay $2 in taxes. | DAME, Leader Nelson (I3905)

The book also mentions Andrew J Dam Sr as a "prominent citizen who had succeeded William Canfield as proprietor of the Sheridan House" (pg 31). In 1864 the Dam's moved to NYC where the elder Dam bought the new Union Square Hotel (pg 34), which the author called an "ambitious hostelry that in uptown march of business bade fair to become a second Astor House". | DAME, Andrew Jackson (I347)

They were absent on 25 Sundays and in addition had committed the offense of entertaining Quakers for four hours in one day. In the "History of Strafford County" it is recorded that it was about 1650 that James Nute bought lots numbers 9 and 10 from the grantees Barthey Smeg and John Ugrove, these lots being south of lot number 11, owned by Deacon John Dam. James is buried in the family plot on the west bank of Back River (Bellamy River Wildlife Management Area) with his daughter, Martha, and her husband, William Dam.
