Looking for any descendants of Sherrod/Sherod DUNMAN, who is found on the 1830 census for Miller Co AR,age 20-30, and who owned land in several counties in TX,including Cass, Bowie, Grayson,Fannin, Cooke,Llano, and others; many of these properties patented by "the heirs of Sherrod Dunman" in the years following his death ( before 1850 in TX or AR). I need to find this man's will. There is evidence that he left some of this land to his sister's children ( a deed of sale in AR refers to some land sold by three of these children to a fourth child's husband as being land originally granted to Sherrod Dunman).
His sister was Nancy Dunman, b. abt 1794 GA,married abt 1822 in probably Carroll Co GA William Angus MCFARLIN. They migrated to early Red River TX ( actually still Mexico at the time)in January of 1825. I am trying to find the names of all of Nancy's children, and hoping they are mentioned by name in Sherrod's will. I know of 5: John Green, Thomas, Rebecca, Jane, and Martha (Patsy),all born before 1830, but believe there may have been others born later, particularly a William McFarlin/McFarland,b. abt 1839 TX, who paid taxes on land that was part of an original grant to "S. Duncan" in Cass Co, TX ( from transcription of microfilm). I checked the land title abstracts for anyone named Duncan in the county early enough to be this person, but no Duncans are found, however Sherrod Dunman did have a land grant there.
If anyone can help, please contact me. Thanks.
