The DEADMOND line is one on my children's paternal grandfather's side. It is often spelled DEADMAN or DEDMAN in various documents and by the family members themselves. According to the Dictionary of American Family Names on Ancestry
, the origin of the surname is unknown. It is possibly a variant of DEDMAN, itself a variant of DEBNAM. In turn, DEBNAM is a location surname for someone from Debenham in Suffolk, probably derived from the Old English river name "Deope" (deep one) and "ham" (homestead).
The known DEADMOND story begins in Suffolk, England. Several generations emigrated to Maryland, a safe haven for Catholics. While I currently have not researched their religious heritage, I may venture to guess that this was a pull factor for this family.
