I have just joined and I am wondering if anyone has any information about a James Dunn (born 1777) married Christianne(?) born 1781 from whom I am descended. I'm not absolutely sure where he was born although he came here from Stirlingshire, Edinburg, Scotland in the early 1820's on a sailing vessel. They were shipwrecked off the Bermuda Islands with their family and spent 6 weeks there waiting for another vessel to bring them to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The family had in their possession a stone carved in the shape of a book which they brought from where they were shipwrecked. On arrival at Saint John, they came up the St. John River to Oak Point and by way of Hamilton Mountain into Jerusalem where they located on farms off the Manor lots. (This is in the area that is the present day Base Gagetown - the largest army training camp in Canada). They had 9 children as follows: George, William, Andrew, John, David, Hugh, Margaret, James, and Walter. George married Frances Stewart and these would be my great, great grandparents. They were Presbyterians. Any information anyone could share with me would be very much appreciated. Margaret (Dunn) Graham Grand bay-Westfield, New Brunswick, Canada

No relation to my Dunns, but what a great story! Good luck on your research!

Margaret - Are you sure about the James Dunn being born 1777 because I have a "Lost" family of Dunns with a James being born 1771. Where I do no know but it could be in Scotland.

Allan, I believe this date of 1777 came from an old Bible but it could certainly be incorrect. Do you have any other information on the James Dunn born in 1771?
