Illinois 1835 marriage book These early records were copied by a relative of mine in the 1970s from original records. Connie McKenzie - Johnson Co. Illinois DNA Project administrator at Family Tree DNA I descend from JAMES BARNEY DUNN from Henderson Co. TN. His family went to Johnson Co. IL during the Civil War. Several descendants have taken the DNA test and are a match to Dunns from other areas. The Dunn DNA is shown at the Johnson Co. IL DNA Project at Family Tree DNA. The best way to establish a family connection is through DNA testing. I don't know if there is a family connection between ABSALOM DUNN and JAMES BARNEY DUNN. Are there any direct male descendants that could take a DNA test?
