Dunham, Donham, Dunnam and Denham
The Dunham spelling is used most commonly by descendants of Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth. One branch of this line used the Donham spelling, and one small branch used the Denham spelling. It should be noted that there is a separate Denham family not connected to Deacon John Dunham.
The descendants of Jonathan/alias Singletary used both the Dunham and Donham spelling. Jonathan Dunham alias Singletary of Woodbridge, New Jersey was the son of Richard Singletary. When Jonathan moved to Woodbridge in 1665-70 he began using Dunham as his surname. The reason for this is not known, however all of his descendants used either the Dunham or Donham spelling.
Dunnam is the spelling used by many descendants of the Dunhams of the American South.
