Dunn's AL>TX mid/late 1800's
I am looking for information on parents/siblings/childrenof James (D.?) DUNN, b. 1838 AL who married Mary HOWELL, b. 1845 AL.James' parents were born in AL, Mary's parents in GA.In 1880 they are listed on the census in Comanche Co., TX.

Leona Patience DUNN is my ancestor, b. Feb 20, 1878 Comanche Co., TX.She married Zachariah BURROW, Jr., b. April 02, 1874 Floresville, Wilson Co., Texas.
From the age of James, and the ages of the children, it looks like he may have been married prior to Mary, or there are some children from this marriage unaccounted for.
I did find in the 1880 census an Allen DUNN, age 22 (1858) b. AR, with parents b. AL, living a few houses down from James Dunn.He was living with J.R. (44yrs) & S.A. (42yrs) HILL, listed as a SSon, which I take to mean a step son.J.R. Hill was born in TX, so that leaves him out as his father.S.A. Hill (mother) was born in AL, so he could fit as the son of the above James DUNN and this S.A.Hill.Just speculation.
Anybody have a J., or J.D. Dunn, James (D.?)Dunn born about this date (1838) in AL?Would appreciate any kind of leads or information on ALABAMA Dunn's. (especially those that went to TX)Thank you :)
