2Ibid. Text From Source: Notes for ROBERT DUNHAM:

Even though Robert Dunham is not listed in the Parish Register of St Thomas and St Denis with the other children of John and Hannah Dunham, or on the Will of John Dunham written about 1725, I believe him to be a Son. He was born about 1726 according to the Davis History. Also the Davis History describes him as a brother of Ebenezer Dunham a son of John and Hannah who was included in the Will. Also Robert and his son Robert Commander Dunnam worked with John and Ebenezer Dunnam in gathering and selling supplies to General Francis Marion during the American Revolution like kin folk delivering and collecting for each other.

The fact that Robert Dunham and Susan Burn named one of their sons, Robert Commander Dunnam probably indicates another connection, since Ebenezer Dunham, his brother, and a son of John and Hannah married Frances Commander.

For these reasons and the fact they all spelled their name DUNNAM, I am placing Robert Dunham who married Susan Burne a son of John and Hannah Dunham.

Robert Dunham also had a plantation on the Great Pee Dee River near Snow Island where General Frances Marion would spend the Winter with his troops. A place there is presently known as Dunham's Bluff.

Also descendants of Both Robert and John migrated to South Alabama around 1808-20. Robert's descendants stayed in South Alabama and John's moved just across the line into Mississippi.
