Cuz Gene,
Pauline Pierce had someone look up Jeremiah Dungan who married Mary or
Rebecca Hendry. Below is verbatim of the response she received:
"Ancestry of Jeremy Clarke of Rhode Island and Dungan Genealogy complied by
Alfred Rudulph Justice (Franklin Printing Company, Philadelphia c. 1917)
includes only one HENDRY entry. On page 485 is lists a Margaret HENDRIE b.
14 Jul 1898 who married an Albert R. WORTHINGTON.
On page 160 we find: [bracket notations are of Stacy Wood who did the look up]
"120. Jeremiah Dungan, 34 [# assigned to father], son of Clement and Eleanor
(Craven) Dungan, b. circa 1740, d. 1809. m. by license dated Nov. 24, 1762,
Mary Whitton b. 1740, d. July 21, 1793. (Tombstone at Southampton) daughter
of Thomas and Mary ( ) Whitton.
Nov. 9, 1766 Jeremiah Dungan, Jr. was baptized, and Sept. 6, 1766 his wife
Mary was baptized. (27) [Southampton, Pa., Baptist Church]
The Will of Jeremiah Dungan, of Northampton, Bucks County, Pa., dated Dec. 8
1808, pr. Nov. 15, 1809, "advanced in years," mentions son Joshua, daughters:
Elizabeth Dyer, Eleanor Marpole, Mary Kirk and Nancy Dungan; granddaughter
Nancy Cummings; Edward Dyer to be her guardian during minority. Executors:
sons-in-law Cornelius Dungan, Edward Dyer and Abel Marple. [sic]
Issue: (227-279) Joshua, Mary, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Ann or Nancy, Agnes and
Esther."
>From this I have to consider that this Jeremiah is not our Jeremiah (parents
are different). If this is so then our Jeremiah did not marry twice and all
the children of our Jeremiah had the same mother, Mary/Rebecca Hendry. What
seems odd to me is the wide range of birth dates between the last three
children but then there could have been problems with the Civil War and/or
increasing ages of the parents. Anyones guess.
Pauline was thorough in providing documentation on our Jeremiah and his
parents. Reference William and Mary Quarterly Series II, Vol. II, pge
325-329 and on page 327 is stated that Deborah Borden, died 1799, m. George
Hendry, died 1782. Their sixth child Rebecca Hendry (date of birth unknown
but evidently born in Frederick Co., Va.) m. Jeremiah Dungan, son of George
and Mary (Hellings) Dungan.
Also, the childrens names are different from what we have for "our" Jeremiah
further confirming there were two Jeremiahs.
As to the date of our Jeremiah's birth 1730 versus 1738 I don't know where I
got my date. Probably just an error on my behalf. I do not have a source
documented.
As to the marriage of a Jeremiah Dungan (b. 1721) to an Ann Whitton on Jan
22 1746/47 this is the first I've heard of this. Are there now three
Jeremiahs? I do not have a full line of data on the Whittons so cannot
compare notes.
Okay? We need more research on all this. Let me know what you think. I've
sent a copy of this to Pauline for her records.
Cuz Gene
