William Nunn bc 1770 either in Craven or Dobbs was the proven son of Francis Nunn III and his wife Isabella Holloway. He married Margaret - no hard proof - who was born 1775 and died 15 January 1854 in Pearl, Montgomery Cou, Miss where she moved with her son William Francis Nunn. THe Nunns were SS of the river. I have no clue who Margaret was but have a hunch she might have been a Jones of some sort. One of her daughters, Matilda, married Lewis Jones son of Aretus Jones, and there were several other marriages between these families in later generations. It is my understanding this particular Jones family was out of Jones County. There was a Margaret Jones on the 1780 Dobbs Co Tax List. Does anyone know who she was or have any Margaret Jones in their files? William and Margaret appear to have had only had two sons who lived to adulthood - William Francis and Redding D. who was my direct ancestor. THere were several daughters other than Matilda that I know nothing about. Redding D. Nunn had three wives - Elizabeth Noble by whom he probably had one son William F. Nunn but I can't prove that either - Zelota surname unknown by whom he probably had the rest of his children - James F., Mary, Benjamin F., and the youngest Martha Ann who was my g grandmother. Redding then married Nancy Cauley who was his cousin. I don't think they had any children but not sure. Does anyone have a family SS of the river where the name Zelota appears? She was born in 1801 according to her tombstone at Maplewood. Redding moved around a lot - he appears to have lived in Duplin Co on the 1830 Census so it is possible Zelota was from Duplin Co. Redding sold his land in Duplin Co in 1833 so assume that is when he moved back. In 1840 Redding was back in Lenoir County, where he lived in various places - Woodington, NS of the river, Kinston, and then the Trent Township. I have a picture of Redding and Zelota. Any help on possible surnames of the two wives would be appreciated. Martha
