Author: JohnKlingel Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.cumberland/5436.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My ancestor is Sarah Dunbar born 1740 to 1750. She married John Christy b 1744 in Ulster and who arrived in America in 1762. They lived in Westmoreland Co but I don't know where they married. John Christy had a sister Ann who married John Campbell and a brother James who married Mary Campbell, the sister of John. The Campbell's and Christy's appear to have come from Cumberland Co. Hence, the query I posted. I have no knowledge of Sarah's relationship but the house of Dunbar is very interesting. The Ancient House of Dunbar included the following: Crinan 975 to 1045 married Belhoc daughter of Malcolm II, King of Scotland. Duncan I, King of Scotland 1034 to 1040. murdered by MacBeth. Maldred, King of Cumbria b 1005 d 1045 married Algatha, grand Daughter of Ethelred, king of England. Gospatric, The Lord Gospatric, Earl of Northumberland, the first to hold Dunbar and an heir to the thrones of England and Scotland 1040 to 1115.
