#12738 - James Donald Donham of Bangor, Pennsylvania

NOTE:  There is a very large group of people who descend from Nathaniel Donham of Woodbridge, Middlesex Co. NJ who had 9 sons and 1 daughter.  Nathaniel Donham, whose birth date is about 1733, is first found in Woodbridge and Perth Amboy NJ.  He moved to Greene Co. PA, where his two oldest sons remained, and then went to Clermont Co. OH.  To date there has been no conclusive evidence to link Nathaniel Donham to either the Dunham line from Piscataway (descendants of Deacon John 1 Dunham through his son Benajah 2 Dunham; or the Singletary/alias Dunham line from Richard 1 Singletary through his son Jonathan 2 who used the surname of Dunham.  On 17 October 2003 DNA analysis results for James Donald Donham were received which show a one step mutation from the line of the Singletary/alias Dunham line of Woodbridge New Jersey.

 

  The earliest proven ancestor of this line is Nathaniel 1 Donham, however further research may allow descendants to learn his ancestry.  For the purpose of this study he is given the generation number “1”.
