ArchivesRe: origin of last name Deramus
in reply to a message by Rodger D. DeRamus
I am a direct descendent of Joseph DeRamus and Ann Phund. Thank you for the information on the name. My grandmother (whose mother was a DeRamus) always told us she was Black Dutch. The history you provided now explains that terminology, I think.

I am 5 lineages down a descendent of Jospeh Fundeburk Deramus. My Great Grandfather Lewis Deramus (Autagua AL, Panola TX) was owned by Jacob Deramus (S. Carolina, Autagua AL - Prattsville AL) through Inheritance of George Joseph Deramus (S. Carolina, Autagua AL), son of John Paul Deramus (S. Carolina), son of Joseph Funderburk Deramus (Switzerland, S. Carolina).
I would like to know more about your family of this old time. Do you have any photos?

Ms. Payne, I'm not sure if you are still on thus site. I hope you are.
There is a man named Jimmie DeRamus, who was on Cajun Pawn Stars on History Channel. He seems to know more about our shared surname than anyone I've seen. He says we ARE Dutch in origin, so your Grandmother was right, I'm not familiar with the term 'Black Dutch' though.
Good luck. Oh yeah, Jimmie commented above. Scroll up to find his post.

Hi Chaplain,
I'm from Tuscaloosa, Alabama and one of my aunts is of Black Dutch origin. I'm not sure what her maiden name is.
