Please check my Web Page at www.knology.net/~sharrison/index.html I received the following email from Jim Rowell who lives in Atlanta. -------------------------------------------- Sam, it was great seeing the old photos and your notes........some of which are below. After checking my own tree a bit closer, I found the paragraph below on Caleb has details from a cousin in Texas stating that Nancy Jane Dunn was the daughter of J. Dunn and Susannah (Unknown last name)..........could this be John Wesley Dunn, Sr. and wife Nancy (For whom she was possibly named?) Nancy Jane Dunn was born in 1833 in Camden......married Caleb in the late 1850s.......had two childern had four children with him there in Wilcox county and another two in Bienville parish, Louisiana where they to in 1860. I feel she died a couple months after "Aunt Kate" was born in 1868. Kate was born in Nov. of 1867. I don't have an exact date of Nancy's death, but feel it was most likely from the result of childbirth. Looking at some of the Dunn women, I can get a feel for what Nancy Jany Dunn might have looked like. Have you ran across a J. Dunn marrying a Susannah? Jim 22.
