Surnames: Dunn, Sophranis, Barnett, Barnes of South Carolina Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hlT.2ACEB/4085.1 Message Board Post: Census records in 1850 list 12 children born to William & Temperance "Tempy" Dunn of Sumpter County. Later census records for the family are somewhat confusing as there were errors made in recording last names of people, apparently. Edy A Dunn, oldest daughter of William & Temperance apparently married someone named Sophranis as that names appears as her last name in one record where she is living with her mother. Many of the Dunn family members were listed under the last name of Sophranis rather than the correct name of Dunn. Tempy Dunn is shown as head of household in that record. Susan Dunn, another daughter shows up in the 1870 census records under the name of Susan Barnett (with three children named Simon, Elizabeth and Henry W Barnett). No husband is noted. The 1880 records lists her as Susan Barnes and her children are also listed under the Barnes name. She is living with her brother Peter Dunn in 1880.
