This information has been prepared by Gratia Dunham Mahony. Her original document has been sub-divided to fit more easily onto our web site. [PCD]
LINES FROM DEACON JOHN 1 DUNHAM’S SON BENAJAH 2 DUNHAM (b. 1637)
#10458 - Edward Lee Dunham of Ohio
Line from Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth:
John 1 Benajah 2 Edmund 3 Edmund 4
probably Stephen 5 (circumstantial evidence) Mordecai 6
Mordecai 7 Jeremiah 8 Alva M. 9 Thomas Dewey
10 Donald Lee 11 Edward Lee 12 Dunham
NOTE: THE FIRST THREE GENERATIONS ARE THE SAME AS #1785 (GEORGE DUNHAM), #5791 (RUSSELL H DUNHAM, III), AND #3012 (JOHN LAURENCE DUNHAM). Continuing with generation four:
Edmund 4 Dunham b. 15 January 1691 in Piscataway, Middlesex Co. NJ [1]
d. between 4 June and 13 July 1749 in Piscataway, NJ [2]

Five Generations, Edward Fuller family, Published by General Society of
Mayflower Descendants 1990, Volume 4:34

Stephen 5 Dunham b. 1 October 1737 in Piscataway, Middlesex Co. NJ [3]
d. probably in Fayette Co. PA [4]

4. Land Records provide circumstantial evidence that this was the Stephen
Dunham who moved first to Hunterdon Co. NJ, and about 1790 moved to Fayette Co.
PA. Records from that period in western Pennsylvania are either very poor or
non-existent. Edward Lee 12 Dunham participated in DNA analysis which showed his
line to be from Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth. Members of the Singletary/alias
Dunham line were also living in both Fayette and Greene Counties in western
Pennsylvania and separation of the descendents of these two lines has been very
difficult.
Mordecai 6 Dunham b. about 1762 in New Jersey [5]
d. about April 1850 in Milton Twp. Jackson Co. OH [6]

Still living.
Reference:
17. Ibid. NOTE: This is the Dunham descendant who participated in DNA
analysis. The 12 marker test matched those of the descendants of Deacon John
Dunham with a single-step mutation at the 4th Locus (DYS 391). The
result of the 25 marker analysis showed an additional mutation at Locus 13 (DYS
458). However, it is still believed the relationship with Deacon John Dunham
exists.
