Parents unknown. He went to SC at some point in time,married a woman we know only as Mary"Polly"?. They lived in Pendleton Dist.SC in 1810. I think they married about 1807 or so. They had 7 children, 4 of which were b.in SC.They then moved to White Co.Tenn,where the last 3 were born. Their names were:James;Nancy;Azariah;Martha;(these b.in SC);Littleton;Benjamen and Eli. One family member said that an elderly gr.aunt of hers had said once that John Dunn's brother died in Ireland,so,he left and went to America. Our John was b.in Va;so,it could have been his father who was the emigrant. The thing is,that we have a few Samuels in the line of descent from John. We have very few clues on John's father;but,i figure that if his father,and probably siblings,did not go to SC with him,then,some of them may have either stayed in Va,or migrated on. Ours went from Va,to Pendleton Dist.SC,to White Co.Tenn,to Hardin Co! .Ky,Grayson Co.Ky and finally Breckinridge Co.Ky. I'm tracking down any leads and i'm going a lot on the names of the children,as they can be clues to the family. Ours were poor people,not any landowners as far as i've found.Farmers.Did any of your group migrate to KY? I'm following any clues these days. thanks.
