This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Dun; Dunne; Dunn; Gieger Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hlT.2ACEB/2894 Message Board Post: I seek information on an A.J. Dun or Dunn who was in southern MS around the end of the US Civil War... There is a listing in the Zachariah Gieger Bible for a child that appears to be Mateopolis Clifton Dun (it could be Ma Teopolis William Dun) who was born in 1864 and it says "first Son of A.J. Dun" The handwriting is very hard to read because they used a Quill and the ink smudged... Zachariah Gieger lived in Covington County near Collins. The entry is in a section with other non-family members and we presumed that the entry was for a Slave-girl who was brought by Zachariah's father, Jessie Gieger, when he migrated from GA about 1814. She was supposed to be 10 years old at that time and a nursemaid to Zachariah, however, recently discovered copies of the handwritten pages reveal that the Transcribers miss-read the entry when they sent the transcription to the MS Genealogical Society for publication in "Cemetery and Bible Records" Vol II in 1954...They also left out the "First Son of A.J. Dun" I have checked the "Covington County Cemetery Census" which was published in 2000 but neither A.J. Dun nor Mateopolis Clifton Dun is included... Would like to correspond privately with anyone who can help identify these individuals...
