    3. Hi Jessie, I can give you all the MUNN graves in Bladen but from the checking that I have done it seems that the Munn family of Bladen was the Daniel Munn line and his descendents. There is a Munn farm in Bladen but, again, it was originally owned by Daniel Munn. I cannot find the first name James in the census, Wills, Heritage book, Bibles or cemeteries. I also checked all the books on the Scots that I have and once again they all pertain the Daniel. From # 17 634 THE MUNN FAMILY (in part) Daniel Munn I was born in Scotland in 1775. He was the son of Angus Munn. They came to Cumberland County in the late 1700s. He moved to Bladen County and purchased 340 acres of land, three miles west of Tar Heel in 1800, from John and Thomas Robeson. He and his uncle built a schoolhouse (perhaps this unnamed uncle is James) which was called Munn Institute . . . Note: He had eight children by two wives - no James's. I will be glad to give you the burial information if you think it will help you in any way. Just let me know. Dee .
