--------------0E09568BDD6C9A5A43C42910 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I am trying to find out about my Dunham ancestors. I think that there is a good possibility that they left MA and went to Windsor County, VT after 1776 and before 1790. A Hand written lineage from my grandmothers attic that had names but no places. Since then I have been able to find marriage records that put dates and places with my names. I have the names of Uriah Dunham that married Hannah Paddock in Dartmouth, Bristol County, Mass. in 1776. It indicated in the records that Uriah had come from Edgarstown, (Martha's Vineyard) and everything indicates that the Hannah Paddock that married Uriah was the daughter of Nathaniel Paddock and Eunice Delano. (Eunice is a Mayflower descendant.) I cannot connect my Uriah's ancestry. The only Uriah I can find that fits the time frame is a Uriah Dunham in the Revolutionary War records that served to defend the coast of Martha's Vineyard in 1776 (the served date was just before my Uriah was married in Dartmouth) and a Uriah Dunham in Woodstock, Windsor County, Vermont in the 1790 census. The lineage then has their son, Thomas Dunham that married Margaret Allen. I found that they were married in Westport, Bristol County, Mass in 1811. Those records indicate that Thomas was from VT. I am trying to find out if the Uriah Dunham that is in the 1790 VT census is my Uriah. It looks like there's a possibility that my Uriah that married Hannah in Dartmouth, MA may have left and went to Vermont where the records show their son Thomas was from. Eventually, Margaret ( Allen) Dunham appears to have ended up in Washington County, Ohio in 1850 raising her orphaned grand-daughter (Margaret Dunham). I am sure that Margaret (Allen) Dunham raised her grand-daughter but the 1850 &1860 census lists her as Margaret Bryan. I assume she must have been widowed by Thomas Dunham and then remarried a Bryan and widowed again. Margaret ( Allen) and Thomas's son was Franklin Dunham who married Rebecca Williams. I have not found the record of their marriage but a family bible has 1838. Their children Adelaide and Margaret were born in PA but were orphaned at age 2 & 1 . The dates have Adelaide born before their marriage and Margaret just a few months after their marriage. Family papers say that Frankly died in 1838 in St. Louis, Mo and Rebecca died 3 weeks later in Louisville, Kentucky. If any of these names or places coincide with anyone else's families, I would love to find out what happened to fill in the gaps. By the census records it looks like there were Dunhams in several places in Windsor County including Woodstock and Bethel. Any history of the settlers of Woodstock would also be helpful to connect any surnames that also were found in Dartmouth, MA. Any info would be appreciated. Jeanne H
