In 1866 Dampier married the actress Katherine Alice Russell (c. 1848 – 8 March 1915), who continued using that name professionally. She was author of a play,
The Phantom Ship. She died from a stroke in
Reading, Pennsylvania while touring America with her daughter Rose and son Fred. They had two daughters and one son. • Alfred Julian "Fred" Dampier was also an actor, but never as successful as his father, sisters or brother in law. Fred had a secret marriage to one Vera (born c. 1885), also an actor, in 1905. They never lived together and she was granted a divorce in 1914. ==Select writing credits==
