Mendenhall who was dismissed from the Friends church in 1824 for marrying out of unity. This would mean his wife was not a Quaker, and could be your George C. and Eliza Dunn. However, I can't imagine that a Quaker man in this period would marry someone who owned slaves. So either George C. was a very strange Quaker (and he married a second time to another Quaker, so I doubt he left the church entirely), or his wife didn't own any slaves.
