Author: DeannaKayKreisel Surnames: Dunbar, Scrafford, French Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.dunbar/1223/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm looking for information about the parents of my gggrandmother, Lodema (or Lodemia) Dunbar Scrafford. Her father, Chester Dunbar, was born in Massachusetts in 1796 and emigrated to Lewis County, New York, some time before 1828. His daughter, Lodem[i]a, was born in New York in 1833, as was her older brother Dexter, and according to the 1850 census the family was living in Greig, New York as of that date. On that same census, Lodema's mother is listed as Roxy Ann (maiden name possibly "French"), also born in Massachusetts in 1804. If anyone has any further information about either Chester Dunbar or Roxy Ann [French], I would greatly appreciate it. It's possible that this is the Chester Dunbar who was born in Pelham, Mass, to Josiah and Martha "Patty" Russell, but I have no proof of that other than the birthdate and the state. Many thanks for any help! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
