William Gunn Jr. (1757 -1795 VA) did marry Susannah Clanton.Their children are mention in William Sr.'s will as orphans.
Their children are:
Samuel 1783
Dudley G. 1785
Mary, 1787
Tabitha 1791
Dorothy 1793
Susannah 1794
John c. 1794
It is unlikely that John R. Gunn and those who settled in Indiana are from William Jr.They are probably from the same family though.
John and Ishmael were definitely in Vigo Co. before 1930.I have copies of Property Tax records for John R. and Ishmael in Prarie Creek for 1928.
I don't know if this helps, but I think we need more information on William Jr. and Wm.Sr.
I have a personally taken a picture of a tombstone in Vigo Co at Second Prarie Creek Baptist Cemetary for a William Gunn that died there in 1811.He was 57 Years of age.This may very well be John R. and his brother's father.If it is (I haven't confirmed that yet) it would explain why these brothers left Shelby Co. Kentucy and made a very long trip to Vigo Co. Indiana with their families.Another issue is that if it is John's father, it couldn't be William Jr.It is documented that he died in VA in 1795.
If anyone has information that could help us please respond. Thanks.
