Ormond Tomb Marker Volusia Co, FL

The marker reads: ORMOND TOMB --- Near this site lies the tomb of James Ormond II. Ormond and his father, a Scot who immigrated to Florida via the Bahamas about 1804, made Damietta, the family plantation, one of the most productive in the Halifax region. When Florida became a U.S. territory, Ormond became prominent in civil affairs, and during the Seminole War of 1836, commanded a platoon of the Mosquito Roarers at the Battle of Dunlawton. Ormond Beach was named for his family.
