Wm. Pomfret, March 26, 1675, "out of love and affection to his grandson, Wm. Damme," then about twenty years of age, son of Jan Damme, Sr., conveyed all the upland and meadow granted said Wm. Pomfret, 5th, 10 Missouri., 1652, "lying and being from ye mouth of Fresh Creek, on ye western side, towards Cochecho (River), that is to say, it runs up from Cochecho River by said creek's side from ye mouth thereof, the creek being the bounds thereof of ye eastern side. And from the mouth of Fresh creek it runs up the river, which is ye bound on ye south and be west side." These bounds were renewed, at the request of Pomfrett Damme (son of William), Jun 9 1724. And that point of land has borne the name of Dame's Point for more than 200 years.5

In a deed date 5 Aug 1702 William Dam and wife Martha gave to their son Pomfret Dam the island commonly known as Goat Island. This island was one of the points to which was connected the old bridge across Great Bay from Fox's Point to Madbury. In 1724 Pomfret Dam also received lands formerly belonging to his grandfather Lt William Pomfret.

There are no records of the names of the children or the dates of their births. Mention of the oldest son is found in "Probate Records of the Province of New Hampshire," vol 2 pp 334-335, where is given the appraisal of Pomfret Dam's real estate by Paul Wentworth, Thomas Wallingford and Robert Evans; and it was "Allowed the last Wednesday in June 1736 and ordered that the oldest son Samuel Dam have two thirds of the estate and pay the other children their shares." The value of the state turned over to Samuel Dam was £698 17s. 8d.2, 92:103
