I am posting my transcription of a Power of Attorney/Revocation document I found in the Monroe County Courthouse from John Dunham Singletary to Dunham Singletary. Previous to this document the original Power of Attorney was filed in Bibb Co where John was living previous to moving to Monroe Co Alabama. He owned a Plantation in Bibb Co so I believe he gave the POA to Dunham to disolve his debts and assets there in Bibb. Dunham was living in Monroe Co, GA in 1840 (1840 census although he later moved to Lafayette Co, MS. I would appreciate any and all further information about either Dunham or John his father if anyone has anything. According to the proof of this document, John was still living in 1842 although Ancestry, Rootsweb, etc. say he died in 1840.
