William was born in 1740 in "Enniskillen" Ulster Ireland - and died in April of 1806 in Lycoming Co, PA (a part which later became Clinton Co, PA.) Sallie McKinstry was his first wife, and he married second Margaret (McClelland) Harrison. THIS William Dunn was also referred to as "William Dunn of The Great Island" -- so named because of the 300 acre island which he purchased directly from Chief Newahleeka of the Delaware Indians in 1769. That Island was located in the Susquehanna River at the mouth of Bald Eagle Creek -- just east of the town of Lock Haven. He also purchased land on the northern shore of the river opposite the island where he developed the town of Dunnsburgh or Dunnstown. There is a very good genealogy which was written on him and his descendants by one Bjorn Lamborn -- and published by the Crawford Co, PA Genealogical Society. about 1993. I am sure that if you contact them, they could tell you how to obtain a copy. Check the Crawford Co, PA GenWeb site. There is also quite a lot of info on other rootsweb/genweb sites. This James is NOT my line! I just ran across him while searching for my own Dunn family.

Hi I have information for you but not want you want. I talked with my dad last night, his name is James P. Dunne. He was stationed (Air Force) in Greenwood in 1961 and married my mother on August 21st, 1961 at the Catholic church on base. He assures me that there was NOT another James Dunn(e) at the base at the same time. My dad is just a couple years older. The base is not a big base. They would have heard of another James Dunn(e) specially if they were getting married within weeks of each other. So maybe you have the wrong year or base. Hope this helps Shannon -----Original Message----- From: doucetc@rvh.on.ca <doucetc@rvh.on.ca> To: DUNN-L@rootsweb.com <DUNN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, November 02, 2001 4:13 PM Subject: [DUNN] DUNN - Nova Scotia/Canada > >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Surnames: Dunn/Steeves >Classification: Query > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hlT.2ACEB/1518.1544.1573.1578.1594 .1596 > >Message Board Post: > >Hi, I'm looking for James William Dunn who lived in Greenwood Nova Scotia in the 1960's.

Surnames: DUNN, ALEXANDER, PORTER, PAGE, GATOR, SIMMONS, SMITH Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hlT.2ACEB/2732 Message Board Post: The grave of James DUNN, in every sense the first citizen of the town of Portland in its earliest years, is marked by a headstone and a government marker. He was born in Lycoming Co PA March 17, 1762 and died in Portland, Chautauqua Co NY October 23, 1838. His service in the patriot cause during the Revolution was rendered as a private in the PA militia. He enlisted when he was 15 years old. The title of Captain by which he was addressed may have stemmed from militia service in PA after the war and before coming to Portland. He may have held the rank in the NY militia, or it may have been accorded him in recognition of his leadership in military affairs in Chautauqua Co, before and during the War of 1812. At the age of 30 years James DUNN married to Elizabeth ALEXANDER of Mifflin Co PA, born in South Carolina in 1771 and she died in Portland December 23, 1850, her grave is in the family plot in Portland Evergreen Cemetery . James located first in 1803 on 500 acres in Meadville PA , not happy with this land, he looked northward and entered Chautauqua Co history when on May 31, 1804 he signed his first contract for land, 1,150 acres at $2.50 per acre this tract embracing lots #’s 30-31 and 34, and parts of 25 and 35 all in Twp5, range 13 which turned out to be, when later surveyed, the choicest land in Portland. By 1806 he owned 2, 002 acres. After his purchase in 1804 he returned to Mead Twp in PA and by April 1805 he and his family were settled in their vast wilderness estate. In 1806 he built a substantial log house, on lot # 30, and in 1808 opened it as a tavern, as well as his family dwelling. His log cabin office, separate from his house, became the center of activities in the settlement, He sold off his land to incoming settlers, keeping only 100 acres for himself. The first deed made and executed was by Nathaniel FAY in 1807 for 46 acres. The first school in Portland was in a log structure on his land, the first teacher, Miss Anna EATON, He DONATED the land for the Evergreen Cemetery, in 1807. The first religious meeting was in his house, conducted by Rev. John SPENCER in 1810. The first general muster of the county militia took place in a field east of his house, in 1811 with 400-500 men present, Officers of the county militia met in his house in June. 1812 The town’s historian Horace C. Taylor in his “Historical Sketches of the Town of Portland, “ had this to say; “He was a Revolutionary Soldier, and excellent citizen , and Mrs. DUNN was an excellent specimen of a pioneer’s wife” James and Elizabeth were the parents of 10 children the first 7 born in PA 1.
