One was John Benefield Dunn son of Lewis & Dorcas Graham Dunn. The other John B Dunn was the son of Edwin & Tabitha Baugh Dunn. We think this 2nd John B Dunn's middle name might have been Baugh, no proof on this. This 2nd John B Dunn was a minister. There is a little info on him in "A History of Kentucky Baptist, from 1769-1885" by J H Spencer 1886-reprinted by Church History and Archives, 1976, Lafayette, TN, Gasper River Assn. Logan Co-this info can be found on RootsWeb under Logan Co KY. Some have this 2nd John B Dunn's wife as Eliza Jones, who might have been the dau of Phillip Jones. This John B Dunn signed the Rev War Pension Paper for Phillip Jones, making us think his wife was a daughter of Phillip Jones. Others researchers think his wife's name was Eliza Imes. Anyway this 2nd John B Dunn moved to Gentry Co MO in 1858 & where he died in 1884. His death was published in the Russellville KY paper since his son M I/J Dunn was the coroner there. It was also listed in Gentry MO Deaths 1868-1910, pg 29. Rev. John B. Dunn, b 21! Jan 1803 Stokes Co NC, d 3 Oct 1884, apoplexy; lived Logan Co KY, to MO in 1858, mar 1823-10 children. Bur not listed. I just don't know where researchers got the first name of Ida for Prudence. If that had been her first name she would have been christened that. Yes the Dunn Bible states that John Dunn's mother was a Benefield. I have seen his middle name as Edmond, Edward & Benefield. He signed his will as John Dunn. I have a copy of part of Lilly Starks' The Drury Dunn Descendants. My 3rd cousin L Laird of KS sent it to me. She pointed out some mistakes in this. I will have to hunt this letter out. L Laird also has spent many years researching her line which is also the same as yours. Her line comes down thru John B & Mary Ann's daughter, Amanda Dunn Sears. I am a direct descendant of Charles B Duncan (brother of Mary Ann Duncan Dunn) & his 2nd wife Louisa A Howell. Also a direct descendant of Prudence Freeman & her 2nd husband, James Barham. Prudence Freeman & John Dunn's daughter, Lavinia mar Rev. Daniel Barham, a cousin of James Barham.
