Dunham, John and Mose (Dekalb Co., TN)
Searching for info on John Dunham or his Son Mose.
His grandson, Alvin Otis Dunham (my father-in-law,83 years old) is the source of my info. Alvin returned to Mass. for awhile later in his life. He lost track of his relatives in that area after WWII and only knows of his younger brother Ray, who lives in Liberty, (Temperance Hall) DeKalb Co., Tennessee near Center Hill Lake. His older brother Othel Dunham lived near Doyle, White Co., TN (ajoining county). He was an ordained Methodist Minister.
Alvin was born in Near Silver Point (Center Hill Lake), Deklab Co. Tennessee, where John Dunham & Sons had a farm, until the Centerhill Lake dam was built. The dam flooded the ancestral property.
Tobacco was the main farm crop as Alvin and his brothers worked it. He tells of riding the farm mules out into the river when it was natural flow, to wash them up.
Anyone have Dunham info for this area?
