8. JOSEPH 3 DUNHAM (Joseph 2 Joseph 1 Dunham) born about 1749; died in Rhea County, Tennessee in 1815. He married ELENOR (unknown).
Joseph Dunham, Sr. and Joseph Dunham, Jr. both appear on “a list of taxables between Richland Creek and Clear Creek, Rhea County, Tennessee” in 1808. In about 1809-1810 Joseph Dunham was appointed a member of a committee to let the contract for a jail.
Based on the above list of taxables from 1808 there must have been a son, Joseph Dunham, Jr. An entry on FamilySearch.com states that a Joseph Dunham is buried in Harrison Cemetery, Sinkcreek, Bedford County, Tennessee. There are no Dunhams on the 1820 or 1830 census in Rhea County, Tennessee, and I believe that this Joseph Dunham, Jr. moved to Bedford County, Tennessee.
For the purpose of further research I show Joseph 4 Dunham as a son of Joseph 3 and Elenor (unknown) Dunham:
30. i. JOSEPH 4 DUNHAM, b. before 1775 in North Carolina
