Surnames: Dunn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hlT.2ACEB/2462.2477 Message Board Post: I have a little on the Monroe County Dunn family. This info is from handwritten notes given to me by an in-law now deceased. There is likely nothing new for you. Madison Thomas Dunn m.__Marshall and settled in Cashmere (now WV) in the early 1800s. Family legend is that his wife was the daughter of Justice John Marshall, but I have been unable to find any verification. Madison T was the son of Irishman Thomas Dunn and Sarah ?? One of Madison Thomas's sons was Madison who married Cynthia Shumate. Another was James Alexander who married Elizabeth Dillon, my in-laws connection. The www.rootsweb.com/~wvmonroe site has links to census and other resources that may help. Monroe County continues to be rural and is still very much like those early families would have known. There are still Dunn families in the county. Good luck.
