#2136 - Carl Edward Dunham of Leon West Virginia
Line from Richard Singletary through his son Jonathan Singletary/alias Dunham:
Richard 1 Singletary; Jonathan 2 Singletary/alias Dunham; David 3 Dunham; Joseph 4 Dunham; Moses 5 Dunham; Elisha 6 Dunham; Allen 7 Dunham; Jessie Bailey 8 Dunham, Alexander Leckey Crow 9 Dunham, Insull Carl 10 Dunham, Carl Edward 11 Dunham
NOTE: The first three generations are the same as # 2138 (Lloyd Eugene Dunham). Descent from Moses 5 to Elisha 6 Dunham has not been proven yet and this line is therefore based on circumstantial evidence and research done by Carl Edward 11 Dunham and his wife Ruth (Boswell) Dunham.
Joseph 4 Dunham b. 7 October 1700 in Woodbridge, Middlesex Co. New Jersey [1]
d. December 1771 in Woodbridge NJ [2]
m. poss. Elizabeth (unknown) [3]
Reference:
1. Woodbridge and Vicinity p. 327; Op. Cit. Myers p. 542.
2. NJ Archives 34:147; Also given in Myers p. 542.
3. She was mentioned in will, but called ‘my wife’ and not named.
Moses 5 Dunham b. say 1730 in New Jersey [4]
d. unknown, but after 1771 [5]
Reference:
4. Moses was named in the will of his father.
5. Moses was witness to will of his brother Elisha 5 Dunham NJ Archives 35:126, dated 21 August 1771
Probably (but still unproven) Elisha 6 Dunham b. say 1755 in New Jersey [6]
d. prob. between 1790 and 1800 in Fayette Co. PA [7]
m. prob. Elizabeth Anderson [8]
Reference:
6. Approximate age; probably named for his father’s brother Elisha 5
7. Elisha does not appear on the 1800 census in Fayette Co. PA, however there is an Elizabeth Dunham on the 1800 census p. 594 in Springhill Twp. who is over 45 and has 3 males under 10 and 1 female under 10.
8. Name given by a descendant (Claire Foster), but without proof.
Allen 7 Dunham b. about 1790 in New Jersey but date is given 23 February 1788 by
Carl Edward 11 and Ruth (Boswell) Dunham [9]
d. 12 February 1864 in Springhill Township, Fayette Co. PA [10]
m. Catherine Crow [11]
Reference:
9. Allen Dunham and family appear on the 1850 census of Springhill Twp. Fayette Co. PA, p. 93; Allen Dunham age 60; Catherine Dunham age 49
So Allen Dunham b. 1790, which is consistent with a child of Elizabeth Dunham under 10 in the 1800 census of Springhill Twp. Fayette Co. PA
10. Information from descendant Carl Edward 11 and wife Ruth (Boswell) Dunham. Allen Dunham and family appear on the 1860 census in Springhill Twp., but not in the 1870 census.
