Editors Note: In the DSFC Newsleter, Vol. 6 Issue 3, 15 July, 2009, p. 6-14, I wrote an article outlining part of the Newport, Rhode Island Dunham Family. This interesting family has been hard to trace past the fifth generation in the line of Joseph 5 Dunham (Daniel 4,3 Joseph 2 John 1), Gratia Dunham Mahony Editor.

In the article cited above Joseph 5 Dunham was given the number 199. I will continue to use that number on this page, and will give his children numbers beginning with 200.

She is referred to however in the following Lenox, Berkshire Co., MA Church record, which states "Joseph Dunham and wife dismissed 18 September 1808 to Rome, (Oneida,) New York".

Joseph served in the Revolutionary War. The fact that he has a pension application record has helped greatly in tracing his movements and the places where he lived. Work with the church records of Lenox, help to identify and follow his children.

From Abstracts of Rev. War Pension Files; “Joseph S12831, RI Line, appl. 12 December 1832 Oneida Co., NY, aged 71, sol. Lived at Brooklyn, CT. at enl. And after the Rev. War sol.

Joseph 5 Dunham was “of Lenox” in a 1792 land deed, and he was admitted to the church in Lenox, 17 August 1794. Shortly after his admission to the church in Lenox he had his first five children baptized on 2 November 1794. Joseph Dunham and wife were dismissed from the Lenox Church on 18 September 1808 to Rome, NY.
