4. Land Records provide circumstantial evidence that this was the Stephen <br />
<br />
Dunham who moved first to Hunterdon Co. NJ, and about 1790 moved to Fayette Co. <br />
<br />
PA. Records from that period in western Pennsylvania are either very poor or <br />
<br />
non-existent. Edward Lee <sup>12</sup> Dunham participated in DNA analysis which showed his <br />
<br />
line to be from Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth. Members of the Singletary/alias <br />
<br />
Dunham line were also living in both Fayette and Greene Counties in western <br />
<br />
Pennsylvania and separation of the descendents of these two lines has been very <br />
<br />
difficult.</p><br />

analysis. The 12 marker test matched those of the descendants of Deacon John <br />
