From: "Trace Dunn" Subject: [DUNN] Issiah and Josiah Dunn (Virginia) Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 This was certainly Issiah Ferdinand Dunn who was born (probably Franklin County, actual Virginia) on February 15, 1851. Issiah-Josiah..... such an easy mistake to make! For while I was under the illusion that this was the John F. B. Dunn that I had been looking for. But how to explain that your extract of the 1860 Floyd County Census shows someone who I know to have been born in April 1861? Dated : August 23, 2000 Trace, Thanks for sending the latest on Issiah/Josiah Dunn. The entries are still correct, since the 1860 Floyd census says that. What should be done is to say that Josiah is probably Issaid Ferdinand Dunn, s/o Nancy Gaulding. How do you get that Alexander Dunn is the father? Dated : August 23, 2000 Hello G Alexander Dunn's name appears on the death certificates of John Fleming Beauregard Dunn as "father of the deceased", and idem on Issiah's death certificate. (This is said from recollection, since I don't have them at hand...But I do have them somewhere, having ordered them many years ago. Will confirm when I run across them again if you wish....) John and Issiah being brothers. Georgia Dunn, John F.B. Dunn's daughter, told me before she died that her grandfather was Walter Alexander Dunn. Judging from the names of the other siblings, I would tend to go with Alexander Walter... What I would very much like to find is something placing this person alongside Matthew W. Dunn Jr. (b. 1824), Betsy Jackson, and Matthew Dunn Sr. (1786-1852) etc. He doesn't seem to appear in any census either...mystery. However the young John, born April 1861 and orphaned according to family tradition, appears in the 1870 Mercer Census Index (which lists only heads of households) (His parent? Alexander Dunn died - according to family - in the Civil War, Nancy Ann Gaulding of illness at about the same time) The 1870 Mercer Census Index (lists only heads of households) John Dunn 9 wm b. VA (page 582) Mileard J. Dunn b. VA (Mildred obviously went by Millard) 51 wf (page 584) Andrew "Andy" J. Gaulding (died 1842, his wife a few years later) was also thought to have been living nearby. Maybe John was living in his father's farmhouse, or in that of his grandfather Gaulding.
