ELISHA DUNBAR Dec 1818 Pittsylvania Co. She diad June 1830, leaving only one child, my gggrandmother REBECCA ANN DUNBAR b. Sept 22,1822, who was taken to Jackson Co Alabama by her aunt Louisa Dunbar GILES (wife of John). Rebecca m. Preston Brown 1840. RACHEL PARSONS witnessed the will of WILLIAM PARSONS in Feb. 1818, with Dolley Farthing and Will Leftwich. Elisha m. a second time (need her name) and went to Lynchburg. Children: John; Dudley; Mary; Letitia. Again, he left his children to someone else to raise and went to Nelson Co (census 1860-70). He served in the CW in spite of his age, which he consistently lied about.He was son of Daniel. The Dunbars came to Pittsylvania in the early 1800's from Loudoun Co VA. Would appreciate any leads, especially to Rachel's parents. Thanks very much. Fay
