What is the dates for your John Dunn & when did he move to White Co., TN? My g-g-grandfather, James/John Allen Dunn, born about 1802 VA, apparently moved to KY and married Katherine Lafever. Their first two children, Mary & John Riley was born in KY before they moved to White Co., TN & the other seven children were born in White Co. They arrived in White Co. sometime in the 1830's after Katherine's parents, Andrew Lafever & Nancy Ard, moved to White Co., TN (from KY) in the 1820's. Allen died between 1850 & 1860 & Katherine died after 1870 in the White or Putnam Co., TN area. I don't know anything about Allen's parents. Hoping that your John Dunn might connect to my Allen Dunn.
