LINE OF JONATHAN DUNHAM OF WOODBRIDGE, NEW JERSEY

FORTH GENERATION IN AMERICA

21. DAVID 4 DUNHAM, Jr. (David 3, Jonathan 2 Dunham Alias Singletary, Richard 1 Singletary) b. Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., NJ about 1705;[1] died 13 May 1758 aged 53 years.[2] He married first an unknown wife.[3] He married second in Woodbridge, New Jersey MARY FREEMAN,[4] daughter of Henry 2 and Elizabeth (Benue) Freeman.[5] She was born in Woodbridge 5 June 1702, died in Woodbridge in 1784.[6]

The gravestone of “David Donham Juner” was seen by me (Gratia Dunham Mahony) in June 1998. It is located near the marker for the Pike family which leads me to think that the first wife of David Dunham, Jr. may have been a member of the Pike family. Possibly this first wife was Elizabeth Pike b. in Woodbridge in 1695, d. in Woodbridge 20 Nov. 1732 and buried in the Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Woodbridge; Find A Grave Memorial# 16994757.
