His grandmother was Marianne Celeste Dragon and his first cousin was George Pandely. He was a member of the prominent New Orleans mixed Greek Creole family known as the Dimitry Family. The family underwent countless hardships of racism throughout the 19th century two major incidents involving the family were documented in court entitled Forstall, f.p.c. v. Dimitry (1833) and Pandelly v. Wiltz (1854). The Creole family was heavily pressured to pass as white because during the Jim Crow era laws became more severe including segregation and eventually the one-drop rule was adopted in Louisiana by 1910.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"17 September 1858","date":"1858-09-17"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126617869#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"New Orleans","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34404"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126617869#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"24 October 1918","date":"1918-10-24"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126617869#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"New Iberia","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q991355"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126617869#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"United States","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126617869#P27"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"mayor (1893–1899)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30185","start":"1893","end":"1899"},{"text":"council member (1891–1893)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q708492","start":"1891","end":"1893"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126617869#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracos_Anthony_Dimitry","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126617869"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Dracos Anthony Dimitry born?","a":"Dracos Anthony Dimitry was born on 17 September 1858 in New Orleans."},{"q":"What positions has Dracos Anthony Dimitry held?","a":"Positions held by Dracos Anthony Dimitry include: mayor (1893–1899); council member (1891–1893)."}],"related":[{"name":"Andrew Johnson","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/andrew-johnson"},{"name":"Ehud Olmert","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ehud-olmert"},{"name":"Hussein Khalidi","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hussein-khalidi"},{"name":"Ekrem İmamoğlu","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ekrem-imamoglu"},{"name":"Nir Barkat","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/nir-barkat"},{"name":"Bill Haslam","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/bill-haslam"},{"name":"Joe Biden","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/joe-biden"},{"name":"Lincoln Chafee","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/lincoln-chafee"},{"name":"Jorge Azcón","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/jorge-azcon"},{"name":"Amandus Augustus Abendroth","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/amandus-augustus-abendroth"},{"name":"Bruno von Warendorp","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/bruno-von-warendorp"},{"name":"Michael Theurer","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/michael-theurer"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/dracos-anthony-dimitry-ef8629afe5.jpg","width":446,"height":700,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Unknown Photographer","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dracos_Anthony_Dimitry.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Dracos Anthony Dimitry","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracos_Anthony_Dimitry","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q126617869","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q126617869","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Dracos Anthony Dimitry.jpg by Unknown Photographer (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dracos_Anthony_Dimitry.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Dracos Anthony Dimitry, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
