This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Dunn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hlT.2ACEB/3659.1 Message Board Post: We've had a story; but don't know how accurate it is. The story refers to a Marion Joseph Dunn who stowed aboard a ship to America (whether from Ireland or England, it's not for sure). They said he was about 10yrs old at the time. I think that this man is the father of my John Dunn ,b. 1780,VA (no, not the one you have been talking about from Tenn... although, my John Dunn DID live in White Co.Tenn, for about 10yrs or so, and is listed on the 1830 White Co.Tenn census. Mine went to KY,not AR.) But, Marion Joseph, who was b. in the mid 1700's, may not have been the immigrant; but, it may have been his father or gr.father.Time period would be the 1700's. Not for sure if Liverpool would have been the port of departure, or if it was Londonderry or Ballymena, which is where we think they may have been living, after leaving (or being sent out of.) the border lands of Scotland. For the record, our group has lots of the same first names as your group did.
I am interested in your John Dunn b. 1780 VA, that lived in White Co., TN for about 10 yrs. & was listed on the 1830 White Co., TN census. My g-g-g-grandfather (John / James) Allen Dunn, b. abt. 1802 VA, married Katherine Lafever in KY in the 1820's. They had 2 children born in KY before moving to White Co., TN in the late 1820's or early 1830's. I do not know the name of his parents or if he had any siblings. He died sometime between 1850 & 1860, probably here in White Co. as Katherine is still living in White Co. in 1860. If any of this sounds familiar, I would like to exchange info with you.
