my grandfather was a son oof Francis Marion. His name was cornelius or Neal as some called him. Francis parents were David and Eleanor. Would you like to communicate since we must be related for sure. My email is mommoham@msn.com
I have the line bact to Deacon John

David married Eleanor Heasley in 1831 and Francis was born in 1834. I am on the prowl for more info. I know that 2 of his brothers married two sisters of his wife. However there are 2 older children in his home. I do feel sure that Eleanor was his mother. David also married an Ann Yale in 1851 and had more children

No, I think this is a different William Bell Dunham. My Dunham family would be in Pushmataha Co. He was my fathers brother and probably born around 1910-12. He was the son of Thomas Jefferson Dunham and Emma Elizabeth (Sutton)Dunham. William Bell, if I remember correctly was married to a lady named "Oretha".

Hello, Elizabeth,

I still cannot locate your William Bell DUNHAM, b. ca. 1910. I found Thomas J. DUNHAM in 1920, Kiamichie Twp., Pushmataha, OK:
Thomas J., 37, TX MO AL, & wf. Emma, 34, TX AR LA
Ch. b. TX: Grace, 16; Inez, 14; Earl, 12; Edgar J., 10; Herschell, 7
Ch.b. OK: Lawrence {?}, 5, & Gladys, 1 y, 9 mos.

Social Security Death Index doesn't have any William born in 1910 or any Oretha DUNHAM.

In Dallas, Dallas, TX, there is a death cert. for Wm. B. DUNHAM (27 Feb. 1928, Rattan, OK - 29 Mar. 1972, VA Hospital, Dallas)l, res. Leonard, Fannin, TX; body to Antlers, OK; parents unknown.
