My father is Richard Scammon from Portsmouth N.H. He is a descendant of Richard the emigrant.Please remember that the name Scammon was also written as Scamon,Scammond and especially out here in New Hampshire and Maine it is spelt Scamman. Elizabeth, wife of John Saffin used this form in her will in speaking of her brothers according to G.Frank Scammon Jr.geneology. Samuel Scammon born in Saco,Maine in 1689 signs his name Samuel Scamon while his son, Samuel JR,in his will signs his name as Samuel Scamman & John, brother of Samuel, Jr, in his will, signs his name as John Scammon.To my knowledge this is when the names changed but they are all related.President Bush visited the Scamman family farm here in Stratham N.H to visit W.Douglas Scamman SR.. He served seven terms in the House of Representatives and was speaker of the House in 1957-1958.
