Looking for information on Richard Dunn that was the father of Gatewood Dunn. I beleive this Gatewood is the one that married Betty Rousseau. Would like to exchang info withothers working on the Gatewood Dunn line in Jasper Co

Bob,

Interesting. I have done some research on this family as I am related.
I have Gatewood Jackson Dunn married to a Margaret Rousseau however I have Gatewood J. Dunn's father as Waters Dunn.
Would like to hear your thoughts on this. My Waters is married to Sarah Gatewood

Hi Sandra

I have assembled a lot of info on the Waters Dunn line and looking at his will you will notice he names a son Gatewood Dunn and a son Richard Dunn along with others. We know that his son Gatewood Dunn was in Oglethorpe Co. Ga. In a deed 1804 Richard Dunn Of Columbia Co. gives to his son Gatewood Dunn 300 acres in Columbia Co. and in 1806 Gatewood Dunn shows on married Elizabeth (Betty) Rousseau in Columbia Co. Ga.and shows on Columbia tax list and that the other Gatewood was still in Oglethorpe.

This may be a lost generation that has been over looked. I have been searching for other clues on Richard and have several deeds from him and Waters that mentions Richards children. In a Bio of John R. Jones he tells of his Grandfather Richard and Great Grand father Waters Dunn. I am transcribing and posting a lot of the deeds and wills on the US GEN WEB.

I can be reached at Rellis3357@aol if you would like to exchange info.

What do you think of the Richard Dunn connection. I have discoverd a lot of land records for the Dunns in Columbia Co. if iterested in exchanging info contact me at Rellis3357@aol.com

Bob,

Sorry I did not respond before.
You may be on to something.
I need to go back and look at my Dunn line to see what I have. I plan on doing that this weekend...perfect time for the dead!!! I have been focusing on the Porter line [also in Georgia] as I am also related to that line.
Let me take a day or so to look thru my stuff and I will get back to you on this.

Sandy
