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.

199. Joseph 5 Dunham (Daniel 4,3 Joseph 2 John 1) born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1761; died in Oneida County, NY 8 February 1840. The name of his wife has not been found on any records. She is referred to however in the following Lenox, Massachusetts Church record which states "Joseph Dunham and wife dismissed 18 September 1808 to Rome, 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, Berkshire County, Massachusetts help to identify and follow his children.

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

At Richmond Town, RI, 6 or 8 surviving children rec’d final payment on 21 Sept. 1842 & were paid to 8 Feb. 1840.”

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.
