Subject: [PIATT] all the Elizabeth DUNHAM!!
Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 07:15:18 EDT


Oh, boy, you opened a barrel of Elizabeths!
I once did a printout from the IGI of Elizabeth DUNHAMs and it took
SEVERAL pages. This was in an attempt to help determine the parentage of the
Elizabeth DUNHAM who married Jacob MARTIN, my 5th great grandparents. Hasn't
helped, YET!!
Here are just a few that we have -- from our MARTIN history, compiled by
Louise MARTIN MOHLER:
"Elizabeth DUNHAM, Jacob's wife (yes, s/o Jonathan MARTIN), has been given
various parents and at this point we are not sure just exactly who her
parents were. We do know she is not the dtr. of Edmund DUNHAM and Dinah FITZ
RANDOLPH. She had been previously listed as the dtr. of Edmund DUNHAM and
Mary DUNN and now we find that has never been substantiated. There are a
number of Elizabeth DUNHAMs to choose from which makes it more difficult.
Jacob's father, Jonathan MARTIN married Elizabeth DUNHAM, his uncle Jacob
PIATT/PYATT married Elizabeth DUNHAM and Jacob himself married an Elizabeth
DUNHAM (as written above).
Benajah DUNN married Elizabeth DUNHAM d/o of Edmund and Dinah FITZ
RANDOLPH."
Too bad some of them didn't go by distinctive name, as Big Elizabeth, Red
Elizabeth... men did, why not the gals!? (^.^)
Well that's my two cents worth, if it helps anyone.
Best to all,
