James Diamond came out from Devonshire, England. He was married in England to a Proctor and they had some children before they came out. His sister, Rebecca Diamond, married Hugh Cudmore. They both settled on the Winsloe Road of PEI.
This brother and sister are ancestors of the Diamond and Cudmore families on PEI. James was reportedly the oldest in his family.
The next year, three more brothers came out. Humphrey went to live in the Northam area of PEI and they spelled their name DYMENT. The other two brothers, Robert and Charles, went to Ontario and they spelled their name DYMOND.
