One I was told, went back to Scotland but the other settled there a woman from Jamaica. He settled in St. Mary's Parrish in Jamaica and was successful enough acquire a pretty large plantation there. He named it but I cannot remember the whole name. I think it ended with 'stowe'(not sure of the spelling also) that was the first generation Dunbar in Jamaica. The second generation Dunbar inherited his dad's land, married a lady who was French and Jamaican. But he wanted to go to New York so he left it his land in the hands of an uncle and off he went to the New York City. Where I was told he became a cop for a while. The Third generation dunbar worked in the medical field. What im trying to find out is where in Scotland the two original Dunbar brothers were from. There are provinces in Scotland with the Dunbar name. And, Where did the other original brother go to in Scotland. The timeline has to be 1800s or earlier. I may have the oportunity to travel the and I would like to bave more info on the Dunbars from Jamaica. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
