THE DAMERELL (DAMRELL) LETTER COLLECTION


                         November 1994


	compiled by Rose L. Dukelow













The original copies of these wonderful letters are still in 
possession of my mother, Pearla Rozell Peine Palmer, who received 
them from her mother, Thenia Ann Munson (Long) Peine who must 
have received them from her mother, Martha Ellen Beall Munson 
Long or perhaps she received them from her grandmother, Thenia 
Ann Damarell Beall.  Elizabeth Dearing Damerell, who for the most 
part, the letters were written to, was living with her daughter 
Thenia Ann when she passed away.  They have been organized into a 
notebook and are also available on computer disc.  An index of 
the names appearing in the letters is available as well as a KEY 
to use with the index if the letters are read via computer 
screen.

My purpose and desire in making this public are that all can 
enjoy them.  Hopefully the ancestors of those mentioned in the 
letters will have the opportunity to read them.  Perhaps it will 
help with family research for some.   I ask that you share with 
me any information you have or know of that would help identify 
Elizabeth Dearing's parents (John Dearing and Ruhamah Davis), her 
husband, Augusta/Augustine/Augustin/ Damerell/Damrell and his 
parents and siblings.  Feel free to copy and to share with one 
and all.  If you do it for a profit (money making opportunity), I 
ask that you share it with me.  It will help to cover my research 
expense.
