Re: origin of last name Deramus
in reply to a message by Debra Payne
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?

We are cousins. I have extensive information. You have deep roots in Switzerland through the Pfund family. John Deramus, J.F.Deramus' son was a private in Capt. Rumph's Partisans during the revolutionary war. It was the first special forces unit in the history of America.
