Although Narramores have spread across the US, this research area is about the ones who settled early in the southeast - and their descendants. Most/all Texas Narramores are believed to have migrated from these southest US Narramore families.

WikiTree doesn't currently include conclusive evidence of the earliest members of the Southern Naramore line, or their origination. Did they come from Dover England directly to the South? Or did they initially emigrate to the Northeast Colonies before moving south?

There is also minimal evidence of actual lines of descent, although it seems likely that all (or almost all) of them were related. Which southern Narramores were brothers? Cousins? One of the goals of this research area is to identify additional evidence for various conclusions.

As of Feb 2021, here are a few of the earliest southern Narramores on WikiTree:

William Narramore (abt.1705-). No parents, spouse, birthplace, or death information listed. One son shown.
- Edward Narramore Sr (abt.1735-1794). Solid biography and list of children. Needs more sources if they can be found.
  - - Joseph Naramore (abt.1795-aft.1837) - believed to be a grandson of Edward.
      - Thomas W Nichols (1826-1900) - based on Y-DNA and AncestryDNA testing, we now believe Thomas was a southern Narramore - perhaps a son of Joseph.
