Text From Source: Like most Dunham famiIies this one is very confusing. Esther (Crane) Dunham names son James Dunham in her will, but he is not mentioned in the will of her husband, David. Littell, pp. 146-7 says James was half-brother of John who m. Keziah Marsh, and half-brother of David, Joseph, Abby and Polly [Mary]. He further says they were children of two mothers. 1771, April 30. Dunham, David, of Elizabethtown, Essex Co., will of. Wife, Esther, all personal estate and use of the real. Son, Joseph, the remainder of the house and land I bought of Abraham Meeker, lying on the west sIde of Raway River, and contains 30 acres. Sons, John, Joseph and David, the remainder of my salt meadow, lying in Raway Meadows, which I bought of Joseph Ogden, Benjamin Williams and Samuel Williams, of 12 acres. Son, David, the remainder of the homestead where I lIve, when he is 21. Executors -- wife, Esther, and my son, John. Witnesses -- John Blanchard, Richard Stiles, John Dehart. Proved 1 Sept 1772.

Text From Source: Widow Sarah Hedges had a daughter Sarah Hedges, who died 7 Dec 1820, age 63 yrs., unm. James Dunham lived at Littell's Bridge in Morris County, and owned a farm there of upwards of 60 acres. He had a son James, who died 5 May 1790 age 25 years, unm., and a daughter, Hannah, who d. 9 July 1817, age 54, unm. (Littel, p. 146-7). The will of Hannah.Dunham [d/o James Dunham] of Chatham Twsp. Morris Co., made 7 July 1817, proved 12 July 1817 mentions "sister Sarah Hedges, all real and personal estate to dispose of as she thinks proper." Executors -- said sister, Sarah, and friend Joseph Tompkins. (N.J. Arch., 42:139.) NOTE: Littel says "he [James] had brothers John, David and Joseph, and sisters Abby and Polly. They were children of two mothers. . . . John Dunham was a half-brother of James, he m. Keziah Marsh." It may be that James Dunham was a half-brother of Joseph, John and David Dunham, but he had a different father. Perhaps James was s/o Esther by a previous husband and was adopted by David. This is pure conjecture, but note that Esther (Crane) Dunham names her son James, but he is not mentioned in the will of her husband, David Dunham. |
