Descendants of Robert Dunlap (1748-1834) by Roger Ralph Connelly [email protected] I descend from Robert Dunlap (1748 - 1834) as follows: 1. Robert Dunlap (1748 - 1834) + Rebecca Jones (1767 - 1838) ..... 2. Robert Dunlap (1799 - 1843) .........+ Zeruha Mitchell (1801 - 1847) .................. 3. James Hamilton Dunlap (1822 - 1892) ..................... + Nancy Lucinda Chamberlin (1828 - 1856) ............................... 4. Melinda Katherine 'Linnie' Dunlap (1853 - 1910) .................................. + Pet er Leslie Connelly (1845 - 1916) ............................................ 5. R obert James Connelly (1879 - 1943) ............................................... + Anna (Druhl) Block (1884 - 1946) ......................................................... 6. Ralph Robert Connelly (1906 - 1981) ............................................................ + Evelyn Margaret Barr (1907 - 1980) ........................................................................ 7. Roger Ralph Connelly (1936 - ) ............................................................................ + Shirley Anne Edson (1936 - ) My descent from 2. above, Robert Dunlap (1799 - 1843), is well documented, but the fact that he was a child of 1. above is less well documented. To complicate matters, several family members, in DAR papers, contend that 2. above was a child of another Robert Dunlap (1760 - 1817), who served in the Revolutionary War. But in 3 decades of research, I have not confirmed that relationship, and in my opinion the preponderance of evidence is that 2. above was a son of 1. above. In this report, I show what I know about all the descendants of Robert Dunlap (1748 - 1834) and his wife Rebecca (Jones) Dunlap (1767 - 1838) down to their great-great-great-great- grandchildren. Most of what I know about the descendants of their daughter Sarah Dunlap, who married Joshua Sanks, comes from the work of John Laird and Steve Vollstedt. Notes found in my genealogy report that are labeled SanksSarah.FTW were not written by me, they come from WFT Vol 4 , Tree 3265, submitted to Genealogy.com by Steve Vollstedt. Much of my research is based on census records. I try to find every person in every census after they left their parent's home. You can tell that I found a person in a particular census (1850, 1860, ..., 1930) if a place (city or township, county, and state) is mentioned for their residence in a census year. If I calculate year of birth based on the age given in a census, I simply subtract age from the census year and show it as "ca year", eg, for a person age 10 in 1880 I give 1880 - 10 = ca 1870. Of course he could have been born in 1869. Exceptions include the 1900 census where the year of birth is given and the 1920 census where I use 1920 - age - 1 and drop the "ca". None of my census findings are given a specific reference. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a question.

Dunlap born April 13 1824 This may be the person who made all of the entries. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The above transcription was made by me from a scanned image sent to me by Sue Kleveno in 1999. The above names and dates were written in longhand using what appears to be pen and ink. They are on one page that was probably separated from someone's family Bible. A copy of the original page was sent to Sue Kleveno ([email protected]) from the Pickaway County Historical and Genealogical Library, P.O. Box 85, Circleville, OH 43113. No one at the Library knows where it came from, who brought it in, or when. The writing is easy to read near the top of the page but very hard to read near the bottom. Each ? represents a character or number that was impossible for me to read. For ease in reading, I have (1) inserted spacing 3 between names, (2) removed the name and birth date for one person who was not in chronological order and placed it in an endnote, and (3) slightly rearranged the death information for Samuel. I believe these are all children of Robert & Rebecca Dunlap but that is based on rather circumstantial evidence and remains unproven. _________________________________________________________________ More About ROBERT DUNLAP: Burial: Unknown, Western Methodist Church Cem., Chillicothe, Ross Co., OH (removed to Grandview?)
