<p class="MsoNormal"><u><font SIZE="3"><b>This information has been prepared by <br />

<p class="MsoNormal"><u>#12738 - <font color="#0000FF">James Donald Donham</font> <br />
of Bangor, Pennsylvania</u></p><br />
<p class="MsoNormal">NOTE:&nbsp; There is a very large group of people who descend <br />
from Nathaniel Donham of Woodbridge, Middlesex Co. NJ who had 9 sons and 1 <br />
daughter.&nbsp; Nathaniel Donham, whose birth date is about 1733, is first found in <br />
Woodbridge and Perth Amboy NJ.&nbsp; He moved to Greene Co. PA, where his two oldest <br />
sons remained, and then went to Clermont Co. OH.&nbsp; To date there has been no <br />
conclusive evidence to link Nathaniel Donham to either the Dunham line from <br />
Piscataway (descendants of Deacon John <sup>1</sup> Dunham through his son <br />
Benajah <sup>2</sup> Dunham; or the Singletary/alias Dunham line from Richard<br />
<sup>1</sup> Singletary through his son Jonathan <sup>2</sup> who used the <br />
surname of Dunham.&nbsp; On 17 October 2003 DNA analysis results for James Donald <br />
Donham were received which show a one step mutation from the line of the <br />
Singletary/alias Dunham line of Woodbridge New Jersey. </p><br />
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p><br />
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp; The earliest proven ancestor of this line is Nathaniel<br />
<sup>1</sup> Donham, however further research may allow descendants to learn his <br />
ancestry.&nbsp; For the purpose of this study he is given the generation number “1”.<br />
