After years of trying to find my Dunham connection, it appears I am from the Jonathan Singletary. I remain mystified by that surname because it seems to just appear in Surfleet Lincs no earlier than mid 1500s. I researched in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Lincolnshire and other counties. I was somewhat skeptical of the Richard Dunham poulter offered by Reed but DNA seems to support that, provided the lineage used was correct. This confusion is similar to the new revelations of the ancestry of Richard Lee, immigrant.
