Early Origins of the Demmon familyThe surname Demmon was first found in Dorset where they conjecturally claim descent from the tenant of lands consisting of 55 Lordships, held by William de Moyon of Moion, near St.Lo in Normandy, who was at Hastings a great Norman Baron who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086. 1 Dunster Castle was his principal seat. He is buried in the priory in Bath. They became the Earls of Somerset and Dorset and the Barons of Okehampton. "The family of Moygnes, Moynes, or de Monacho, held Owre Moyne, or Moyne-Ogres, very early after the Conquest. In the reign of Edward I. it was found that Ralph Moyne held this manor of Owers by service of serjeancy of the kitchen, and his ancestors had held it from the time of Henry I., by gift of that king, by said service. " 2 "A branch of this family had Sibton-Moyne, co. Gloucester. Another was seated in Essex in the reign of Henry II. Another in Cambridge and Huntingdonshire, in the reign of Henry III. In Essex they held Eystan (easton) of the King in chief, and in Wiltshire, Maddington. " 2 Early History of the Demmon familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Demmon research.
