LINE OF DEACON JOHN DUNHAM OF PLYMOUTH

FIFTH GENERATION IN AMERICA

352. John-5 Dunham (David-4 Gershom-3 Jonathan-2 John-1) born say 1729; died 17 July 1784. He married JANE BUTLER, daughter of David Butler and Anna Hatch. She was b. 10 May 1728; died in Tisbury, MA 16 Dec. 1791, in her 65th year.

John Dunham served in French and Indian War in 1748. David Butler, his father-in-law was Captain of an Indian Company during the French and Indian War in 1762.
The will of John-5 Dunham, dated 1784 (Dukes County Will, Vol. &:80-81) states:
“I give to my 3 younger sons, namely Abishai Dunham, Lawson Dunham, Clifford Dunham, all my real estate ‘that they maintain their mother honorable during her natural life’… I give to my loving daughter Jane Merry, wife of Peter Merry… best bed…”


Children of John-5 Dunham and Jane Butler:[1]
352.1. i. JOHN-6 DUNHAM b. 1750; d. 1778 at sea. Served in Sea Coast Defense in 1776
ii. David-Dunham b. April 1751; d. 13 Feb. 1819 in Vineyard Haven, Tisbury, MA, 13 Feb. 1819; married Deborah Luce. Served in Seacoast Defense
352.3. iii ABISHAI-6 DUNHAM b. 1753-1756. (This Line Continues Below)
iv. Jane-6 Dunham b.; m. Peter Merry
v. Lawson-6 Dunham b. abt. 1762; drowned at sea 20 July 1788
vi. Clifford-6 Dunham b. 1767, m. Abigail Tilton

SIXTH GENERATION IN AMERICA


352.3. iii ABISHAI-6 DUNHAM (John-5 David-4 Gershom-3 Jonathan-2 John-1) b. abt. 1756; died after 15 Oct. 1832 when he applied for a Revolutionary War Pension. He married 20 February 1776 Thankful Covell.

From Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors, 5:38;
“Abishai Dunham, Private, Capt. Nathan Smith’s (Seacoast) Co., stationed at Martha’s Vineyard; service between June 1, 1776, and Sept. 1 1776, 1 mo.; also same Co.; service from Sept. 1, 1776 to Nov. 21 1776, 2 mos. 20 days.”
From Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files:
“Abishai, S15107, Ma Line & Privateer Srv, appl 15 Oct. 1832 Otsego Cty. NY, aged 79 a res. of Decatur NY, sol enl at Martha’s Vineyard Island in Dukes Cty. Ma. & lived at Tisbury Ma during the war & until 1805 then moved to Florida in Montgomery Cty. NY for l yr, then moved to Otsego Cty NY.” The Pension application file documents definitely the year Abishai moved to New York State.
The fact that he spent only one year in Florida, Montgomery County, NY indicates that he probably remained there long enough for one planting and harvesting cycle, raising the funds for his planned move to Decatur, Otsego County, New York.
Abishai Dunham appears on the 1790 and 1800 Census in Tisbury, Dukes County, MA. He is probably the A. Dunham on the 1810 census in of Decatur, Otsego County, NY. He appears on the 1820 census in Decatur, Otsego County, NY as Abishai Dunham. He is probably the male age 70-80 living with Benjamin 7 Dunham on the 1830 census of Decatur.


Children of Abishai-6 Dunham and Thankful Covell:[1]
i. Mary-7 Dunham b. 1777
ii. Sarah-7 Dunham b. abt. 1779
iii. John-7 Dunham b. 20 Feb. 1781
iv. Abishai-7 Dunham b. 11 June 1783
v. Elizabeth-7 Dunham bp. 14 Aug. 1785
vi. Watson-7 Dunham b. 7 Nov. 1787
vii. William-7 Dunham bp. 8 Aug. 1790
viii. Love-7 Dunham bp.10 Nov. 1793
352.3.10 ix. Benjamin-7 Dunham bp. 17 July 1796, probable birth date 30 May 1796 (This Line Continues Below)
x. Grace-7 Dunham b. 18 July 1802

SEVENTH GENERATION IN AMERICA


352.3.10. BENJAMIN-7 DUNHAM (Abishai-6 John-5 David-4 Gershom-3 Jonathan-2 John-1) was baptized 17 July 1796; died after 1830 when he appeared on the census in Decatur, Otsego County, New York. Benjamin probably married a woman named Priscilla because there is a headstone in the Decatur Cemetery which shows “Priscilla, wife of Benjamin Dunham d. 14 Dec. 1831.”

There is another grave in the Decatur Cemetery for Mary Ann (Woodin) Dunham, daughter of Riley and Valerie Woodin, and wife of John B. D. Dunham. This Mary Ann (Woodin) Dunham was b. 13 December 1837; d. 15 June 1858.
From the 1830 census of Decatur, Otsego County, New York, Benjamin Dunham: This family would be:
2 m. under 5; Henry Clevlin Dunham b. 8 Nov. 1824, so age 5 to 6 and probably another son (possibly John B. D. Dunham)
1 m. 30-40; Benjamin Dunham age about 34
1 m. 70-80; prob. Abishai Dunham age about 74
1 f. under 5;
1 f. 5-10;
1 f. 20-30; Wife of Benjamin Dunham
1 f. 70-80; Wife of Abishai Dunham


EIGHT GENERATION IN AMERICA


HENRY CLEVLIN-8 DUNHAM (Benjamin-7, Abishai-6 John-5 David-4 Gershom-3 Jonathan-2 John-1), born in Decatur, 8 November 1824; died in Walden, Jackson Co, CO. in 1889. He married in St. Louis, Missouri, Mary Magdalane Neef. She was born in Baden, Germany in 1832; died in Grand Co., CO. in 1895 (or 1902)?.

While absolute proof has not yet been found, circumstantial evidence indicates that Henry Clevlin Dunham is the son of Benjamin-7 Dunham, who is son of Abishai-6 Dunham of Decatur, Otsego Co., NY.
Werner Jon Dunham, of Anchorage, Alaska participated in DNA analysis and the results matched the line of Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth. Oral tradition in the family of Werner Jon Dunham traces him back to Henry Clevlin Dunham.
