Tonight I found a letter written to my grandfather in 1897 from his uncle D. Dunlap. The Dunlaps originated in Stewart Co. with James and Malissa Clark Dunlap. James was born in Pittsburg Pennsylvania and Malissa in Wheeling WV. After the Civil War they appear in Stewart Co. I hace yet to figure out why. The family basically scattered, as near as I can tell, one sister winding up in Oklahoma, rumors of a brother in Memphis...all I can find staying in Stewart Co. is Ben Dunlap who ran a store in the Tharpe area, but then disappeared himself as an older man (my aunt says he moved to "west Tenn"???). Others seem simply to have boarded the nearest UFO. This letter I found tonight indicates that David Dunlap was in Talladega Alabama in the late 1800's. I have no clue what he might have been doing there. Has anyone else a family that followed a migration pattern from this area of Tennessee into that area of Alabama? thanks, jan
