'''351.3. iii ABISHAI-6 DUNHAM''' (John-5 David-4 Gershom-3 Jonathan-2 John-1) b. abt. 1756; died after 15
 
Oct. 1832 when he applied for a Revolutionary War Pension.  He married 20 February 1776
 
Thankful Covell.
 
 
From Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors, 5:38; “Abishai Dunham, Private, Capt. Nathan
 
Smith’s (Seacoast) Co., stationed at Martha’s Vineyard; service between June 1, 1776, and
 
Sept. 1 1776, 1 mo.; also same Co.; service from Sept. 1, 1776 to Nov. 21 1776, 2 mos. 20
 
days.”
 
 
From Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files: “Abishai, S15107, Ma Line & Privateer
 
Srv, appl 15 Oct. 1832 Otsego Cty. NY, aged 79 a res. of Decatur NY, sol enl at Martha’s
 
Vineyard Island in Dukes Cty. Ma. & lived at Tisbury Ma during the war & until 1805 then
 
moved to Florida in Montgomery Cty. NY for l yr, then moved to Otsego Cty NY.”
 
The Pension application file documents definitely the year Abishai moved to New York State. 
 
 
The fact that he spent only one year in Florida, Montgomery County, NY indicates that he
 
probably remained there long enough for one planting and harvesting cycle, raising the funds
 
for his planned move to Decatur, Otsego County, New York. 
 
 
Abishai Dunham appears on the 1790 and 1800 Census in Tisbury, Dukes County, MA. He is
 
probably the A. Dunham on the 1810 census in of Decatur, Otsego County, NY. He appears
 
on the 1820 census in Decatur, Otsego County, NY as Abishai Dunham.  He is probably the
 
male age 70-80 living with Benjamin 7 Dunham on the 1830 census of Decatur.

GENERATION SEVEN
 
 
Benjamin 7 Dunham (Abishai 6 John 5 David 4 Gershom 3 Jonathan 2 John 1) was baptized 17
 
July 1796; died after 1830 when he appeared on the census in Decatur, Otsego County, New
 
York.  Benjamin probably married a woman named Priscilla because there is a headstone in
 
the Decatur Cemetery which shows “Priscilla, wife of Benjamin Dunham d. 14 Dec. 1831.”
 
There is another grave in the Decatur Cemetery for Mary Ann (Woodin) Dunham, daughter of
 
Riley and Valerie Woodin, and wife of John B. D. Dunham.  This Mary Ann (Woodin) Dun
 
ham was b. 13 December 1837; d. 15 June 1858.
 
From the 1830 census of Decatur, Otsego County, New York, Benjamin Dunham:
 
This family would be:
 
2 m. under 5; Henry Clevlin Dunham b. 8 Nov. 1824, so age 5 to 6
 
and probably another son (possibly John B. D. Dunham)
 
1 m. 30-40; Benjamin Dunham age about 34
 
1 m. 70-80; prob. Abishai Dunham age about 74
 
1 f. under 5;
 
1 f. 5-10;
 
1 f. 20-30; Wife of Benjamin Dunham
 
1 f. 70-80; Wife of Abishai Dunham
 
 
 
GENERATION EIGHT
 
 
 
While absolute proof has not yet been found, circumstantial evidence indicates that Henry
 
Clevlin Dunham is the son of Benjamin 7 Dunham, who is son of Abishai 6 Dunham of Deca
 
tur, Otsego County, New York.  Werner Jon Dunham, of Anchorage, Alaska participated in
 
DNA analysis and the results matched the line of Deacon John Dunham of Plymouth.  Oral
 
tradition in the family of Werner Jon Dunham traces him back to Henry Clevlin Dunham.
 
Henry Clevlin 8 Dunham (Benjamin 7 Abishai 6 John 5 David 4 Gershom 3 Jonathan 2 John 1)
 
born in Decatur, Otsego County, New York 8 November 1824; died in Walden, Jackson Coun
 
ty, Colorado in 1889.  He married in St. Louis, Missouri Mary Magdalane Neef.  She was born
 
in Baden, Germany in 1832; died in Grand County, Colorado in 1895 (or 1902)?
