Hi Joan, I have no direct corroboration to your posted question, but had to right. REDDEN and DUNEGAN are families that interweave with mine as we are also from Bon Aqua. Two Redden sisters, Willie Mathes Redden and Fannie Redden married two BELL brothers (William Paris Bell and Homer Alexander Bell, respectively ca. 1911-1913) More about the Reddens I don't know, but do these two sisters tie in with yours? I have no Nancy Jane Dunegan but Have a lot of Dunnegans in my line though my BAKER connections. Wold love to correspond further on any possible connections.
