Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical the Earliest History and Genealogy, Covering Nearly Three Hundred Years, From About 1600 to 1891, of the Dinsmoor-Dinsmore Family of Scotland, Ireland, and America: With That of Many of Their Descendants, and Additional Facts Relating to the Sixteen First Settlers and Their Families of Londonderry, New Hampshire, Who Emigrated to America in 1719; Also, Statistics Concerning the McKean and Bell Families; With a Poem This family of historic fame is of Scotch blood, and in the earliest account of any of this race their home is found upon Scottish soil. Origin of the Name. The name Dinsmoor is rarely found in Scotland, although Dunsmore is frequently seen, and Dinsmuir and Dinsmore are occasionally observed. In Ireland, the patronvmic is borne by many persons in the vicinity of Ballymoney, County Antrim, and they are presuraably descendants of John Dinsmoor, the emigrant to Ulster from Scotland. Dinsmoor appears as the original method of spelling, and was generally followed till about 1800. Since then it became the fashion for some to spell their name Dinsmorc, and it is frequently seen as Dunsmoor, Dun more, Dunsmore, Densmoro, Densmoor, but generally the orthography is Dinsmoor and Dinsmore, the latter methods frequently appearing in the same family, and often each has been adopted by the same individual at different periods of life. The family is not an ancient one, nor, on the whole, very numerous; and upon the other side of the water the name has never been borne, to my knowledge, by the gentry or nobility. The Dinsraoors were commoners. Rev. John W. Dinsmore, D. D., of Bloomington, III., gives this as the probable origin of this patronymic: - "I have no doubt but that the original ancestor wrote, if he could write, Dunsemoor (dtmse, a little hill, and moor, heath). He probably lived on, or by, a little bill at the edge of the heath, or moor." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
