Dear Mr. Riley and Bertie-l subscribers, This solves a mystery that several of us Dunlow researchers have been puzzled by for a long time. Henry was in Bertie in 1787, living with a woman perhaps his wife. By the 1790 census he was single in Halifax County. Then he disappears off our radar screens. This explains why. His only heir as of 1803 was Sarah Hosea in Perquimans County. This presumably is the Sarah Dundelow who married Solomon Sparkman in Bertie in 1797. We don't know whether Hugh, who died in military service in 1783, was Henry's brother or son, but he was the father of John through whom all the later Bertie County Dunlows are descended. Henry was administrator of Hugh's estate, but within a few years Henry faced financial ruin and Hugh's son John was apprenticed-- as was Charney, whose parentage remains unknown. Then, in the late 1780s, Henry went to Halifax County. There are four descendants of Hugh who have been collecting family history information for some time, much of it involving Henry. What sort of information would be useful to you at this time? Sincerely, Paul Johnson PS-- There are at least a dozen spellings we have documented for the same family. Dunlo, Dunelo, Dundelow, Dundalow, Dunalo, Dunlow, Dondalout, Donally, Dundellow, Dunderlow, Dundalo, Dundlo. Often three spellings on one document referring to the same person! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
