Dave- There's a Dunham Avenue back there, too! The nearest large cemetery from the 1800s is Fairview in Westfield. There are books cataloging many of the old stones in Fairview at the Westfield Library. The next nearest old large cemetery, and the nearest opened before the 1860s or so, would be the Colonial Cemetery (a/k/a Revolutionary Cemetery) in Westfield. That cemetery has stones, all in the same row, for Moses Dunham, son of Joseph, d. Apr. 25, 1862 aged 75 years; his wife Sarah Baker Dunham, d. Oct. 7, 1852 aged 65 years; Enoch Dunham, d. Jan. 2, 1848 aged 34y 7m 21d; William E. Dunham, son of David and Elizabeth, d. Oct. 26, 1843; Hannah Dunham, daughter of Joseph and Mary, d. Nov. 29, 1790; Joseph, d. Dec. 27, 1776 aged 40 years; wife Hannah, d. Nov. 20, 1781 aged 43 years; John, son of David and Freelove, d. Nov. 23, 1796 aged 20 years; Nancy, dtr of David and Nancy, d. Aug. 30, 1803. There are a few other Dunhams scattered around the cemetery. There are a couple of small cemeteries quite close to the old Dunham property. One is the Miller-Roll Cemetery, in Westfield near the Springfield border. There are no Dunham stones there. The other is the French-Richards Cemetery, in Springfield behind a Rt. 22 industrial park. I don't have the listing of that cemetery handy. There is also a DeCamp-Dunham Cemetery, but it's way over on the south side of Scotch Plains, on the Westfield border, near Tamaques Park and the Westfield conservation center. I don't have that listing handy either. Good luck!

My ancestors Joseph and Sarah DUNHAM their son David M. DUNHAM lived on the DUNHAM farm, off of what is now Orange Avenue in Cranford. They are all listed on that farm in 1850 in what was then called Union Township. Any ideas or suggestions on how I might find them or any documentation of them would be of great help.
