Your information about Dunhams interested me because I believe I am a descendent of a Job Dunham whom I traced to the area where you are searching.It may be coincidence, but some of the names you listed were names I have encountered.Names are often carried through several generations in families.I have not been able to find the parents of this Job Dunham, but I am a rather casual searcher.
Some time ago I found a record of marriages at the following web page.
http://www.tbaytel.net/bmartin/mcdowall.htmhttp://www.tbaytel.net/bmartin/mcdowall.htm
This information was originally published by:
ONTARIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Papers and Records
Volume 1, Published in Toronto in 1899
Reprinted in 1930.
Pages 70-108.
REV. ROBERT McDOWALL'S REGISTER
The regi9ster is quite long so I will show only those of interest.
Cornelius Van Alstine, Rachel Dunham, Adolphustown,29 Dec., 1801
Nicholas Peterson, Adolphus.; Mary DunhamFred.,16 Oct, 1805
Job Dunham, Elizabeth JacobsFredericksburgh,1O May, 1810
The names of Mary and Rachel appear in your message.The web address given is no longer accessible to me but I have a copy of the complete register.
I found another web page as follows:

Pages 109-112.
MARRIAGE REGISTER OF STEPHEN CONGER, J.P.,
HALLOWELL.
It includes:
16.Benjamin Dunham and Betsy White"Oct. 17, 1809
A Benjamin is also mentioned in your message.That?s three out of six-not bad.
I also have a copy of that register.I understand the B. Martin who made this information available had to stop because of ill health.
There is also:
From the book 'Lunenburgh, or the Old Eastern District'
By J. F. Pringle, Judge County Court.Published in 1890.
APPENDIX C.
List of officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the 84th Regiment,
the King's Royal Regiment of New York, the Loyal Rangers (Major Jessup's corps),
Butler's Rangers, etc., who settled in the eastern part of Upper Canada.
Copied by permission of Messrs. Hunter, Rose & Co., from "The Centennial
of the Settlement of Upper Canada," published in 1885.
R. R. N. Y.- King's Royal Regiment of New York (Sir John Johnson's Corps.)
L. R.- Loyal Rangers (Jessup's Corps.)
K. R.- King's Rangers.
O. R.- Orange Rangers.
E.R. Butler's Rangers.
The following entries appear:
Dunham, DanielE. DistrictL. R., Sergeant
Dunham, JohndoR. R. N. Y.
Dunham, Jamesdodo
Note the name John which also appears in your message.
The Dunham line I am following apparently were Loyalists who fled New York and settled in that part of Canada.You may know about their history and the early settlement of the Loyalists inthe Adolphustown area.
