    1. [DUNN] William John Dunn - New Member Hoping
    2. Hello everyone on this list, I'm new to your list & am looking for a specific Dunn list subscriber who contacted my niece in 1999 regarding a William John Dunn in his family. At that time she did not followup because it appeared not to be the right time period. However, recently we discovered documents that proved we were off by at least one generation on our William John Dunn. Thus I'm trying to reconnect with that person. What I'm looking for is a connection to anyone for a William John Dunn who married a Native American Indian woman in the area of the reservation near Rulo & Table Rock in southeastern Nebraska, very near the Nebraska/Missouri border. Our lines descend as follows: William John Dunn & "Mary" Little Fawn (born circa early 1800s) to Robert Dunn & Rebecca Dowden (born circa 1840-1850) to Mary Frances Dunn 1870-1946 & William M Brown (Willie) 1867-1889 to William Alvin Brown 1889-1946 & Bertha Ellen Kimes 1892-1982 to Doris Elaine Brown 1923-living & Carl Jens Hansen Eldhardt 1921-1994 to ME - Sharon Elaine Eldhardt 1947-living to my niece (my sister's daughter) - Sandra Jean Carmichael 1958-living Per family folklore handed down to me by my grandmother & aunts, William John met Little Fawn when she was living with a Quaker family near or on the edges of the reservation. There are stories of my grandfather & his stepfather (his bio father died at the age of 22 before his birth) visiting the reservation to see her & her relatives. Her surname may have been Wolf, but we don't know if that is her Native name or the Quaker name. Tribal association probably was either Oto Sioux or Fox. Any help will be appreciated - this is one of our brick walls. Thanx - Sherry Sherman, Colorado
