Mathew & Zilphia Dunn of Jeff Co. IL
I recently discovered a connection to my family line and the Dunn family. Mathew Dunn of Ireland and Zilphia Ann (Loman) Coffman Thompson Dunn born in KY and later moved with her family to Jefferson Co. IL, were married on 11/17/1861. This was the third marriage for Zilphiaall of Zilphia's marriages were in Jefferson Co. They are in the 1870 census with the children David, 10 and Cora, 1. David is believed to be Zilphia’s stepson from her marriage to David Thompson. They are in the 1880 US census at Jefferson Co. IL with the children Cora, 11; Anna, 9; Mary, 6; & Joseph4. I do not know if there were any other children in this marriage.
Cora died at 17, and David Thompson died at 19 and both are buried next to Zilphia in Jefferson Co. IL. The other children were married in Jefferson Co. IL Anna to JM Reynolds 1/3/1891; Mary to Wm. A. Rowe 12/12/1893; Joseph to Cora E. Youngblood 4/28/1898. Anna & JM are buried in Jefferson Co. IL. But have no other information on Mathew, Mary or Joseph.
Zilphia was my g-g-grandfather's, James Cassius Loman, sister and I have other info. on their family if anyone is interested.
