History: The Delamaters (and e.g. the Delameters) trace their origin to Claude Le Maître, a Huguenot from France, who lived in New Amsterdam in New Netherland (now New York City, NY) by 1652. He is listed in the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors (as Claude Le Maître or Le Maistre or Delameter) and also in the similar register of the Huguenot Society of America (as Claude de la Maistre).
