James Dunham, b. Connecticut 1786; son Morton, perhaps Martin as well
I suspect that James Dunham, born in Connecticut in 1786 and living with son Morton Dunham in Erie County, New York in 1850 & 1860 is brother to my William Dunham, born in New York around 1790.Parents must have moved to NY between those years.(William Dunham married Lurency Sawtell whose parents made the move shortly after 1790.)James might also be the father of Martin Dunham who is also in the area.Martin married Elizabeth, born in NH, and had a daughter Beattie who was born in Kentucky around 1836.(Might be Elizabeth's daughter from a first marriage.)Morton also married an Elizabeth and had two sons, James and Marion, and a daughter Mary.
If I can find James' origins, perhaps I can find my William.I place William in Cayuga County, New York as he married Lurency there in 1814.
Any help appreciated.Thank you.
