------------------------------------------------------------------ What an encouragement that you found your man. Our brick wall is Malonna/Lona/Loney Dunn of Moore County NC. We know she had 4 children by different fathers, and the youngest was my great grandfather, James Harrison (Jim) Dunn who married Elizabeth Kennedy in Moore County. She had a sister in the same area, with whom she lived several years. She also lived with Jim Dunn's family near Star, and was buried on their farm. What we cannot find is any record of her birth or parentage. Some say she was Indian. There are several Malona Dunns of that era in that area, but this one never married; her children carry her maiden name. Jim Dunn had 12 children, some of whom migrated with the tar industry to North Florida, Southern Alabama, and Louisiana. We've found over 1000 descendents of Jim Dunn and Elizabeth Kennedy, and can trace Elizabeth's ancestry. But Malona continues to be a mystery. Any ideas of where else to look? Many of the county records were burned in a county courthouse fire. --------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Message: 1 >Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 10:39:57 -0800 (PST) >From: Elizabeth Freeman <[email protected]> >Subject: [Dunn] DUNN< Malendeth - Finally found him!!! >For all those out there who have seen my many posts about Malendeth Dunn, just wanted to let you know - HE has been found. > > A word of appreciation to Historical Societies. Often in doing research over the years I would send a donation with a request to historical/genealogical society. Needless to say there are some tireless volunteers out there. I have always received good informatoin -not once did I not get what I was seeking. > > Well, I tried this route with Malendeth. I had found his married daughter in Delta County, Colorado on the 1930 census (he and two of his sons were in WA). It only made sense that the daughter would have married where her mother lived. > > Low and behold, after only two weeks I got a wonderful response from Delta County. Both Malendeth and Mable died in Colorado and were buried in Delta County. > > What a relief! I was to the point that they would be lost forever.
