Betty Ann Dunkin (Duncan)-Texas

TanyaOgden — 2012-05-13 23:48:42Z

I'm trying to find info on Betty. Her last name may have been spelled Dunkin when she was born. I'm told she changed it to Duncan. She was born about 1896. Died in 1994, in Texas. She was married to Benjamin Rash. I have only found her in a 1930 census, showing her father born in Louisiana and mother born in Texas. I'm trying to find her parents and siblings.

I'm also related to Dunkins in Iowa. Actually they lived in Lucas Co. (from 1856-7) which is just a few miles south in Wayne Co. and therefore I am interested in this conversation. My great grandmother was Hannah (Dunkin) Canfield, wife of Orsemus Canfield. Hannah & Orsemus met and married in Centreville, St. Joseph Co., Michigan in 1851. I haven't yet figured out which Dunkins were her parents (Dunkins/Duncans abound as you know) but I do know she states in Census that she was born in PA in 1832. Do you have any thoughts about this?

I have Dunkins in Arkansas on my husband's side. I haven't done a lot of work on the Arkansas Dunkins so I am not sure if there is a connection. Would you mind scanning and attaching the pages to rootsweb or send them to my e-mail: casadcl@charter.net

I'm just starting this adventure....I believe my great grandmother (Effie Mae Dunkin) was your great-grandfather's older sister. I have a family bible that she wrote in and it says she was born in Tuckerman (Mintern? it's hard to read her writing). The birthdate she wrote in the Bible was May 20,1890, but a census report I found says 1891. She was also married there to Natherin O Caperton on Aug 23 1906. She had 8 children born in the same town. I'm trying to find records of her birth, parents names and births. I've always been told that she was 1/2 Cherokee do you know anything about this?

SOURCE: Virginia Northern Neck Grants No. 3, 1703-1710, p. 158, Reel 288.
NOTE: It appears this ELIZABETH WHARTON husband of HENRY WHARTON is the daughter of JOHN DUNCAN. After HENRY WHARTON’S death ELIZABETH very likely remarried but a second marriage hasn’t been determined to date. This HENRY WHARTON is probably the HENRY WHARTON who appears in the Estate Record of THOMAS HAUKINS of Poppler Island filed 30 March 1656. HENRY WHARTON is listed in the Estate Record as having one and a half years to serve. Before going to Poppler Island, THOMAS HAWKINS owned land adjoining PETER DUNKAN and close to where HENRY AND JOHN DUNKAN LATER OWNED LAND. It appears that HENRY WHARTON is considerably older than his wife ELIZABETH.

My Dunkin brick wall.

xLockx — 2011-07-29 05:34:04Z

My great great grandmother was Irene Dunkin. She was born 18 Jul 1869 in New York. She married Andrew J. Braswell, 15 Dec 1885 in Escambia County, Florida.

Looking at the census record for the family, in 1900 Escambia County, Florida it lists her born in New York, Father born Ireland, Mother born Louisiana.

In 1910 Escambia County, Florida it lists that she and her parents were all born in New York.

In 1930 she lists New York for herself and Unknown for her parents.

This is a huge brickwall in my research and I would appreciate any help in figuring this out.

Thanks,

Re: John Dunkin Probates the Will of his Father, 1679, Westmoreland Co, VA

CindyMcC — 2011-06-09 21:10:10Z

Here are comments by Don Wilson of the Relic Library in Prince William Co, VA, concerning this mention of John Dunkin Probating his father's will:

John DUNKIN is appointed "administrator with will annexed" which means that Peter's will did not name an executor. It appears that Robert BLETZO [sic] and Hannah CLAYTON were witnesses to the will, but not clear why John has to pay them for for proving the will. Patrick SPENCE and Matthew STEELE are John's securities. I'm reading 400,000 lbs. of tobacco as the amount of the bond.
