I was sure that with 21 children, Levi S. must have been father of Eugene, but on further checking, I see that your Levi DUNHAM had Eugene, who married and divorced Etta LIPE, b. ca. 1877; & had Charles M. & Theodore Headley DUNHAM.Were these the sons, per Social Security Death Index?
Charles M. (10 Nov. 1899 - 12 July 1994, Long Beach, LA, CA)
Theodore(8 May 1903 - Oct. 1959, SSN issued CA)? Have you checked for obituaries and death certificates?
Possibly there is still a connection somewhere along the line because the same names were used in certain branches of the family.Does your line go back to Deacon John?
On RootsWeb Family Trees, there's a line from John toLevi S.:
