I have read through all the messages under the Dunscombe Family Origins heading. My great grandmother was Mary Ann Dunscombe, born around 1820, and married in 1840 to George Parrish in Bromley, Kent. Her father's name on the marriage certificate is Samuel Dunscombe, but no occupation is mentioned. I have so far failed to find more about Samuel, except for a death of a Samuel in 1852 in Shoreditch, London. Another Samuel who fits the bill could be the Samuel married to Eleanor in Dalwood, Devon, on the 1851 and 1861 censuses. There is also another clue: a marriage on the same page as Mary Ann's, names Elizabeth Dunscombe and Charles Miller (I have sent up for this cert.) and these two are the witnesses at Mary Ann and George's marriage. Can anyone help me here please?

My husband is a descendant of Daniel Dunscomb who "came from Bermuda in the early years of the province", i.e., New York. I have researched the family for a number of years and would love to know more about the Donkey Sanctuary in Devon. There is a plantation called Dunscomb in the central part of the island of Barbadoes. The Bermuda Dunscombs descend from Thomas Dunscomb of London who married Hannah Jadwyn. Her father, Thomas Jadwyn, was a member of the Bermuda Company and his shares were bequeathed to Thomas and Hannah in his will probated in 1626 with the stipulation that they occupy the land. I believe that the Duncomb/Duncombe family are basically from Warwickshire and the Dunscomb/Dunscombe family are from Devon. Perhaps very early on they were connected. In the "Domesday Geography of South-West England" edited by H.C.Darby & R. Welldon Finn, Cambridge 1967, pg. 420, in a comparison of Exeter and Exchequer Versions, they list under "Values" Dunscombe (340, 114b) valet 20s. et q.r. tantundem Olin et modo values 30s. I'm not familiar with the Domesday census I don't really know what this means. Would appreciate any info on this. Also would enjoy sharing research with anyone interested in the Dunscomb line.

Jennifer,
Just came across this inquiry. There was a John Dunscomb, son of Daniel and Helena (Swann) Dunscomb born 1709 New York
who was a wine merchant. He placed ads in local newspaper advertising wine, arrack, rum, etc. from his home on Smith St. He was a cooper as well. He died in 1783 and left a will mentioning Elsie, wife of his son John; Daniel, son of his son John; and Daniel's two sisters (unnamed); daughter Elinor; son-in-law Israel Mun/ds husband of daughter Hannah (deceased); and son Dennis. John, wine merchant, is my husband's ancestor. Are you related?

I have just read this post, I am very new to this and am researching my husband's family. My mother-in-law's family are descended from Dunscombe's so far I have only managed to trace them back to the 1841 census in Dalwood Devon. Samuel Dunscombe married to Eleanor were my husband's great, great, great, grandparents. Would love to know if you have had any success in your search and whether you are related to the Samuel Dunscombe's from Dalwood

My Uncle Richard "Rusty" Dunscombe says that Mr. Dunscombe was his grandfather. I'm not sure of the spelling, but Rusty thinks it is Kanley Ladell Dunscombe. According to the history of Gideon, Missouri. Mr. Dunscombe built the second store in town.

SUSANNAH DUNSCOMBE (c1676-1769) - wife of Jonathan Ogden

CharlesAcreeJr — 2006-08-12 17:19:04Z

Seeking the parents of Susannah Dunscombe, who was born c1676, probably in Bermuda, married Jonathan Ogden c1699 in New York, and died there in 1769. She could not have been a daughter of Daniel Dunscombe and Helena Swan, as sometimes alleged, because that couple married in NYC in 1696 and were of the same generation. She was probably a descendent of Thomas Dunscombe and Hannah Jadwyn, the first Dunscombe settlers in Bermuda from England, who inhabited property left to Hannah by her father, Thomas Jadwyn. She may have been a daughter of that couple's son, Samuel, by his first wife, Elizabeth Burgess, or by Abigail (lnu), his second; but Samuel's 1706 will made no mention of a Susannah. The only Susannah Dunscombe known to have been born in Bermuda in the late 17th century was a daughter of Thomas' grandson, Edward Dunscombe; but Edward's 1733 will indicated this daughter was then living unmarried and childless in Bermuda.

Susannah is probably identical with the Susanna Duncomb (sic) who immigrated to Virginia in 1694, perhaps to join Jadwyn cousins there, moving later to New York. Soon after Jonathan's death there c1746, Susannah married Thomas Sutton.

According to twice-widowed Susannah (Dunscombe Ogden) Sutton's 1765 will (proved in 1769), her six children were:

1. John Ogden (c1699-bef. 1765), who married Sarah Theale
2. Jonathan Ogden (c1700-1753), who married Wilmot
3. Susannah Ogden (c1702-1777), who married Samuel Wilson
4. Michael Ogden (c1703-1790), who married Jane Bloomer
5. Rachel Ogden (c1705-1770), who married Thomas Purdy
6. William Ogden (c1706-1783), who married Martha

DDunscombe2289 — 2004-11-29 22:44:49Z

Yes there is a Dunscombe Manor next to the National Donkey sanctuary and nearby are Dunscombe Cliffs, close to Sidmouth. There is also a tiny hamlet called Dunscomber near to Credition in Devon. There is no island called Dunscombe in the Caribbean but there was a settlement in Bermuda of migrants from England of that name. Note that Bames are often misspelt by those who report and tjhose who actually records evenst like births/ marriages/ deaths.My great great greanfather's name is spelt Dunscombe, Dunscomb and Duncomb in different records but they are all the same person. You might find the 1901 census useful. Regards

DDunscombe2289 — 2004-11-29 22:24:13Z

I cannot help you with the Bermuda connection but the following may be of interest. I am English and the Dunscombe name originates in Devon. I have listed all the Dunscombe births In England and Wales since 1841 from the Registry Office. William is a frequent name in the Dunscombe generations.

DDunscombe2289 — 2004-11-29 22:24:13Z

yes, Dunscombe is clearly an English name - it is a place name in Devon and all with the name who live outside england will have some ancestors here

more info

DDunscombe2289 — 2004-11-29 22:24:13Z

a place name is like say "Washington" the USA president washington's family came orginally from Washington, a village in Durham, England. Dunscombe is a tiny village in Devon, Soth West England. It used to be common in the middle ages for people to be named after where they came from. Dunsconmbe is sometime spelt with or without the final e. fifefrences in spelling does not mean that people may not be related. The person who wrote down the name when the birth/ amrriage death was registered my have mis-heard or may have been bad at spelling. My great great grandfather had his name recorded without the "e" best wishes Dave

Re: Dunscombe Family Origins

I have a copy of a will written by one John Dunscombe in 1586 which sites his family living in Dunscombe, near Crediton, which is near Exeter, in Devonshire. I have information that John had a brother named Edward who moved to Ireland about 1600. I also note that a Dunscombe was listed in the Domesday survey, I believe in Devonshire.
Glad to correspond with a fellow Dunscombe! My line left England for Bermuda about 1620.

Patsy, I see that most of these messages are somewhat dated. Too bad I didn't find them earlier. I know of the Garritt Dunscombe connection from Kalo, Iowa. I also have a geneology of the Burmuda Dunscombes. I, too, believe our people came from England originally.

David, is it possible to get a copy of the list of Dunscombe names you have compiled? I am once again working on the family Geneology but am hung up on George H. Dunscombe who farmed in Iowa in the mid-1800s. I am sure he was from England. I would surely appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

Dunscombe Family Origins

2003-09-15 21:35:51Z

Hello my name is Dunscombe & I live in Wales. I am new to this & would like to trace back the origins of the Dunscombe family name .
Over the years I have heard the following rumours :- The Dunscombe family originate in Devon in the village of Dunscombe - (I have been there as a young child - all that now exists ithere is a donkey sanctuary !) . The rumours I have heard that the Dunscombe family name split into two several hundred years ago due a to a famiy fued into two parts - Dunscombe & Duncombe. The reason apparently due to part of the family being involved in smuggling along the Devon & Cornwall coast. Apparently some of the family gave up relatives to the hands of the law & the smugglers were hanged. I also know that a some of the Dunscombe clan were on the first few ships to emmigrate to North America .
The name 'Duns' 'combe' is old celtic language and means 'brown' 'valley' and the family sheild is 3 dalmation-like dogs on a shield.
There is apparently an island in the carribean named Dunscombe which the Dunscombe family ran a plantation from.
If anyone else has heard any of this information & can substantiate any of it I would be grateful to hear from you.

Dunscobes of Bermuda

JadwinB — 2002-12-19 03:50:18Z

Because the Hannah Jadwin who married Thomas Dunscombe was half-sister to the John Jadwin of Virginia and Talbot Co., MD, who founded Jadwin line in America, I did some work on the Dunscombe line in Bermuda. I have this couple's children as Phillip, Thomas, Samuel and Elizabeth. My records run from about 1640 to 1680 for Jadwin-Dunscombe. If this is of interest, I will dig up my records and post a brief.

Hello Dolly, I am tracing the family of John Dunscombe, Ships Captain. The only thing I know is his daughter was Mary Anne Dunscombe, she married William May and migrated to Australia. Mary Anne was born in 1836, she was supposed to have been born in America and when her mother died went to England and married. I sent for certificate of the birth of her son, it only stated her father was Ships Captain. As you can see there is not much to go on only the link with the sea.
