m. Catherine Campbell [14]
Reference:
12. In previous publications four children have been given to Jonathan and Mary (Smith) Dunham who do not belong in the list of their children. These children are Daniel, Ephraim, Experience b. 8 June 1734, and Joseph b. 4 December 1736.
The evidence in the will of Katherine 4 Dunham who leaves “to my brother’s eldest son, Benjamin Dunham, £5” indicates that Benjamin was the oldest son of Jonathan 4 Dunham. The will of Jonathan 4 Dunham written 31 January 1747/8 states that he has six children under 15 years of age but names only his son Benjamin.
Circumstantial evidence and research I have done places Daniel, Ephraim, Experience and Joseph as the children of Daniel 4 Dunham.
