Do you know of Dement ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Dement. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Dement.<1>

Our sources for Dement (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Dement other than they indicate that Dement would be found somewhere in Granville County, North Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1902 and closed  in 1905.
