References: In the 15 July, 2009 issue of the DSFC newsletter I wrote an article (p. 6-14) outlining part of the Newport, Rhode Island Dunham Family. This interesting family has been hard to trace past the fifth generation in the line of Joseph 5 Dunham (Daniel 4,3 Joseph 2 John 1). In the article cited above Joseph 5 Dunham was given the number 199. I will continue to use that number in this article, and will give his children numbers beginning with 200.
189. Isaac 5 Dunham (Daniel 4,3 Joseph 2 John 1) born in Newport, Rhode Island say 1743, died in 1833. He married Sarah Spooner, daughter of Ebenezer and Sarah (Robinson) Spooner. She was baptized 22 February 1746 in Rochester, Plymouth Co. MA. Her parents moved to Hardwick, Worcester Co. MA about 1750. Sarah Spooner was b. about Feb. 1745/46, died about 1810 in Dunham, Quebec, Canada. A descendant of Isaac 5 and Sarah (Spooner) Dunham provides the continuation of this line giving the children and some of the grandchildren of Isaac 5 Dunham.

199. Joseph 5 Dunham (Daniel 4,3 Joseph 2 John 1) born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1761; died in Oneida County, New York 8 February 1840. The name of his wife has not been found on any records. She is referred to however in the Lenox, Massachusetts Church record “Joseph Dunham and wife dismissed 18 September 1808 to Rome, New York.” Joseph served in the Revolutionary War. The fact that he has a pension application record has helped greatly in tracing his movements and the places where he lived. Work with the church records of Lenox, Berkshire County, Massachusetts help to identify and follow his children. From Abstracts of Rev. War Pension Files; “Joseph S12831, RI Line, appl. 12 Dec. 1832 Oneida Co., NY, aged 71, sol. Lived at Brooklyn Ct. at enl. And after the Rev. War sol. Lived at Plainfield Ct. for 10 years then moved to Lenox, Berkshire Co., Ma., then moved to Rome in Oneida Co. NY, sol. was b. in 1761 at Newport RI and had also enl. At Richmond Town, RI, 6 or 8 surviving children rec’d final payment on 21 Sept. 1842 & were paid to 8 Feb. 1840.” Joseph 5 Dunham was “of Lenox” in a 1792 land deed, and he was admitted to church in Lenox 17 Aug. 1794. Joseph Dunham and wife were dismissed on 18 Sept. 1808 to Rome, NY. The name of his wife is unknown. Shortly after his admission to the church in Lenox he had his first five children baptized on 2 November 1794.
