The name of his wife has not been found on any records. She is referred to however in the following Lenox, Berkshire Co., MA Church record, which states "Joseph Dunham and wife dismissed 18 September 1808 to Rome, (Oneida,) 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, help to identify and follow his children. From Abstracts of Rev. War Pension Files; “Joseph S12831, RI Line, appl. 12 December 1832 Oneida Co., NY, aged 71, sol. Lived at Brooklyn, CT. at enl. And after the Rev. War sol.
