Reference:

  9.  A year of birth of 1715 is given in Myers p. 542, which she took from Brunton, p. 23)

I question that date and feel that Daniel was born closer to 1705.

Daniel ⁵ Dunham b. about 1730 in Woodbridge, Middlesex Co. New Jersey ^[12]

            d. before 1821 in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada ^[13]

                        m. Catherine Campbell ^[14]

Reference:

12.  In previous publications four children have been given to Jonathan and Mary (Smith) Dunham who do not belong in the list of their children.  These children are Daniel, Ephraim, Experience b. 8 June 1734, and Joseph b. 4 December 1736.

The evidence in the will of Katherine ⁴ Dunham who leaves “to my brother’s eldest son, Benjamin Dunham, £5”  indicates that Benjamin was the oldest son of Jonathan ⁴ Dunham.  The will of Jonathan ⁴ Dunham written 31 January 1747/8 states that he has six children under 15 years of age but names only his son Benjamin. 

Circumstantial evidence and research I have done places Daniel, Ephraim, Experience and Joseph as the children of Daniel ⁴ Dunham.
