Since I also had an ancestor named Benjamin I became quite interested. This was a different Benjamin than mine but I copied the will anyway. The will was written in Fairfield District, S.C. but was probated there in La Grange, GA. in January 1826. In the will, Benjamin leaves everthing to his wife Mary and his 2 children Eliza Ann and Thomas. The will was witnessed by a Pharoah Dunn and a William Dunn, Jr. This was the first and only time, (until I saw your message)that I had ever come across the name Pharoah Dunn. If this group is part of your line, I would be glad to e-mail you a copy of the will. Brantley Clegg

My husband's ggggrandfather was Hiram Reeves Dunn married to Letitia Greer, sister to Elizabeth Greer Dunn Briscoe named above. Hiram was born in GA in 1800 and was a brother to James (per James' will). James was recorded in census as having been born in GA in 1788.

My John Dunn was b. abt 1780-1785 in Virginia; but by 1790, he's living in Pendleton Dist. SC, with (we think) his father, Joseph Dunn. John's descendants do include a couple of Isaacs & Samuels, as well as Josephs and Williams. John married in Pendleton SC to a woman only known as Mary"Polly". They lived there til abt 1819 or so, then, they moved west to White Co. Tenn. They stayed there a few years, before moving North to Hardin Co.KY. After that, they went to Grayson Co,KY, and finally to Breckinridge Co.KY. My Dad has done the DNA test and we've come really close to the descendants of Jesse Dunn & Joel Dunn from Fairfield,SC. Also close to William (& sons Joseph & Pharoah),also from SC and later NC. John had 3 brothers & 4 sisters, but i have no idea who they were. All I can go by are the names he gave his own children: James,Nancy,Martha A, Azariah,Littleton,Benjamen and Eli.

NC in 1830. I have traced this individual from Wilkes Co., thru Rutherford Co., NC (1840 & 1850) to Henderson Co., NC where he indicates that he was born in South Carolina. He is 70 year old which would give him a birth date of abt 1790. His wife's name is Milly and they had children Catherine, Sarah and Samuel (b. abt 1833). I believe they also had a son named Joseph W. Dunn (b.1826) as well as one older than Joseph. Isaac's age has varied by a year or two through out the years, but I am confident this is one person. In 1830, he is living in close proximity to an Edmund Dunn, who may or may not be related, and in 1820, I have found James Dunn, Isaac Dunn, and Edmund Dunn living in Anson Co., NC. I think that he may be connected to in some way. In 1850,while living in Rutherford co, Isaac indicates that his occupation is "millright" Any information will be appreciated.

John Dunn Last Updated: 1:32am GMT 30/11/2004 John Dunn, the BBC broadcaster who died on Saturday aged 70, embodied the corporation's traditional values, yet created a template to which Radio 2 still adheres; he was the first presenter of the Light Programme's breakfast show, and the creator of "drivetime" - though his deceptively easy style made even that dismal concept palatable. It was also an indication of his appeal that, in a broadcasting career which began in 1956, he regularly topped "Personality of the Year" lists during the 1970s and 1980s; at the Sony Radio Awards in 1998, he won the Drivetime Music Gold Award. Dunn's was, in August 1964, the first voice heard on the Light Programme's new 5.30am broadcast; Breakfast Special went on to be a fixture for many listeners. By the early 1970s, he had moved to "drivetime" - from around 4.30 to 6.30pm - a position he was to occupy for 16 years, with diversions into interviewing (at which he was first-rate) as well as covering royal and other national occasions for Radio 2. The John Dunn Show ran from 1972 to 1988. advertisement John Churchill Dunn was born on March 4 1934 in Glasgow. His father John was an electrical engineer who installed sound systems in cinemas after the advent of the talkies. Scotland having been supplied with such equipment, the family moved south, and young John, who had inherited his father's musical talent, was educated at Christ Church Cathedral School in Oxford, where he was a fine boy treble, and at the King's School, Canterbury. There he was a keen actor, though he was conscious of his gangly frame (when fully grown, he measured 6ft 7in), and aware that "to be on a raked stage playing a juvenile lead opposite a girl of 5ft 2in was obviously ridiculous". But his future career received its impetus when his headmaster, watching him play one of the buffoons in The Tempest, announced: "It's a pity you have to put on a silly voice, because you have a very good one." Dunn remembered the endorsement, though after school he drifted into a series of jobs, including stints with the Bristol Aeroplane Company and making cigarettes at Wills, washing Daimlers for a hire firm, and working as a porter at Euston station, when he would sleep on friends' floors in London. He had a certificate of competence to operate Gaggia coffee machines. Dunn had his first experience of radio while doing his National Service in Germany, but when he applied to Forces' Broadcasting, he was told he lacked experience and should try the BBC instead. They took him on as a studio manager, and he "drifted" from announcing on the Overseas Service into presenting Breakfast Special. Always a fair, courteous and interesting interviewer, he tackled subjects as diverse as Lady Thatcher, the Duchess of York and Ludovic Kennedy. But Dunn was just as happy to talk around the music his audience preferred, and to compere quizzes such as the "Mystery Voice", which acquired a cult following - with Dunn regularly being pressed over the dinner table for the celebrity's name. "As a broadcaster, you have to remember that you are company for people," he said. He was courted by other broadcasters and, at various times, spoken of as a replacement for Roy Plomley, Michael Parkinson and others, but stuck to his established roles - though as a freelance. "I'm fairly lazy," he once conceded. Away from the microphone, Dunn's hobbies were skiing, sailing and wine. His wife Margaret, whom he married in 1958, was a fellow studio manager. They had two daughters.

I am looking for information on the first wife of William Dunn 1774-17/09/1839 who came from London or somewhere in Scotland to South Africa.

The children from the first marriage were: John Gambold Dunn 1808 Sarah Frances Dunn 1810 Mary Emma Dunn 1812 George Barkley Dunn 1814 I need all available information on his first wife and their whereabouts in Scotland/ London before they came to South Africa.

I am new to the list - just joined. My reason for joining is to see if anyone out there has any information on the family of Elizabeth Dunn, my who was born in Virginia on 31 May 1796 - probably in Lunenburg County. She married John Poindexter Neal in Lunenburg Co., VA on 23 May 1811. They moved on to Ohio and Gibson Co., IN. She died in Menard Co., IN on 17 Aug 1868. I suspect her father may be either Richard Dunn or Billington Dunn - both showing up in census records for Lunenburg Co., VA in 1810. Elizabeth named one of her sons Billington and another Richard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Garland Edgell

I have for years been trying to track down the origins of my grandfather, Charles William Dunn. He allegedly spent some time in Victoria before arriving on the scene in New Zealand in 1896. I have discovered that a Charles Dunn sailed from London to Melbourne in 1892. I have no further information than this. Can anybody supply any information so that I can either pursue this further, or let it go as another red herring. Ross Dunn New Zealand
