Group 5
Robert Glenn Laymon is descended from a family that immigrated from Germany to New York around 1700. The original immigrant was Clement Lehmann. This family moved across the upper mid-west and then to Kansas and Nebraska, often parallelling Stephen Laymon's family and always using the same spelling. There was some reason to believe that a relationship was possible. This however, proved not to be the case. Paul Lamont is the new member of this group - his family came to America from France, but were originally from Scotland.

Group 6
Leon Lemmons' and John Edward Lamons' line is descended from Isaac F. Lamons who lived in Washington Co., TN in the early 1800s. There has been some speculation that Isaac was the descendent of David and Caty Lamon who settled in Washington Co., TN in the 1780's after living in Shennandoah Co., VA and York Co., PA. This is not be the case. The family has lore that they were French Huguenots. The DNA testing shows them to be a separate line than the other Laymons of any spelling tested to date.
