Dunn Genealogy

Ancestors of Clara Elvira Dunn

Note: One of the perks to using computer software to compile genealogical data is the hidden relationships it can find. When I went to print this out I was surprised to note that my Dunn and Purinton lines merged when Peter Dunn married Susanna Lombard daughter of Rev. Solomon Lombard my 5th GG Father and Sarah Purrington daughter of my 6th G Grandfather Hezekiah Puddington. It would be far too complicated to try to separate them. and yes, all those spellings of Purinton are correct.

Aunt Ella a "Spinster Lady" cared for kids. Rays father Henry said "In return she had a home the rest of her life"

The Purington-Purinton Gen, by Rev. Charles N.

On 6 Oct 1668, having been unable to make contract good, they surrendered their lands on Merriconeag Neck &their shallop (boat).

Pete,

Yes, I am speaking of John Puddington and his son Hezekiah; however, only John is in the book that I have. It is titled the History of Kennebunkport from It's First Discovery by Bartholomew Gosnold, May 14, 1602 to 1837.

"...Hath given, granted and confirmed and by these presents doth fully, clearly and absolutely give, grant and confirm unto the above mentioned John Barrett, sen. John Purrington and John Batson, trustees as above expressed, all that tract or parcel of land within the township of Cape Porpus, in said province, according to the bounds and limits of the sd. township, to them formerly granted by Sir Ferdinando Gorges, Knight, or by any of his agents...." pages 44-45

"January 24th, 1688-9. Ten chosen five selectmen and a constable, at a legal town meeting, legally warned by Order, for selectmen and other officers. For selectmen, Lieu. John Purington, John Downing, John Miller, John Davis, Richard Randall. For constable Immanuel Haynes. For Town clerk, Lieu. John Purinton. For lott layers, and surveyors, Lieu. Purinton, Richard Randall, John Sanders, John Miller. William Barton, Jacob Wormwood." pages 48-49

"The frequent changes of government and the fear of the Indians, greatly retarded the growth of Maine. The inhabitants chose Concils of safety for their own protection...War was declared between France and England December 7th, 1689, which increased the expenses of the colonists to such a degree that Massachusetts issued bills of credit, which was the origin of paper money.

The year that war was declared Mr. Bussy, and Mr. Barrow with their families had been taken prisoners and carried to Teconnet. Six hundred troops were stationed at the different settlements in Maine for their protection. Of this number, 'a company of men under the command of Lieut. Puddington, were stationed at the fort at Kennebunk.'" pages 49-50

"The fort was on Stage Island, at Cape Porpoise, and was commanded by John Purinton, one of the selectmen and the town clerk of the town." page 50

"In consequence of the active measures of the colonists, the Indians were induced to make a treaty of peace, which however was soon after violated by them. Another truce was agreed upon, in 1695, and the inhabitants of Cape Porpoise began to make preparations for returning to their homes.

Search was made for the town records without success. It being understood that they were amongst the effects of Lieut. Purinton, who was not dead, application was made to the county court for an order to have them returned. The court in compliance with this request, passed the following order. 'Whereas the Record or town books of Cape Porpus are not to be found, for want whereof, several of the proprietors of land there are very like to come to damage. The Court being advised that they are in the hands of the administrators of John Puddington late of Cape Porpus, hereby order his son James to send them to the next court.'

This order produced no effect, as the records were never found. The attempt to conclude a peace with the Indians proving unavailing, the inhabitants did not return till 1699." page 52

"Humphrey Scamman (who was probably the son of the Richard Scamman that was admitted freeman at Portsmouth in 1642) removed from Portsmouth to Kittery Point and afterwards to this town. He was chosen constable of the town in 1678. He went to Saco June 12th, 1680 and kept the ferry over Saco river. In 1693, he and his family were taken prisoner and carried to Canada. He died 1st January 1727. The name of his wife was Elizabeth. His children were Humphrey, Elizabeth, Mary, Hannah and Rebecca. Mary married Lieut. Purinton; and Hannah, Allison Brown. Scamman's descendants are very numerous in Saco." page 88

"John Purinton,-sometimes called Purrington and sometimes Puddington, was the son of George Purinton, one of the first aldermen of the city of Gorgeana, (York) which was incorporated in 1641. Mary, the wife of George, had to make a confession of her 'light carriage', and ask her husband's pardon, on her knees, in open court. After her husband's death (by his will he lift his wife a flock bed) in 1647 she married Capt. John Davis of Gorgeana. George Purinton left five children, John, Elias, Mary, Frances and Rebecca. John married Mary Scamman and removed to this town. He was on the grand jury in 1663; and town clerk and one of the selectmen until the town was deserted. In 1691, he had a grant of land from this town, to be laid out 'as convenient to his now dwelling house as it may be had (he lived at the turn of Kennebunk River above intervale point-Town Records).

Lieut. Purinton wrote a very good hand and was a man of good education and he took a very active part in the affairs of the town...In 1688 he was a Lieutenant and commanded a company of men stationed at the fort on Stage Island...He left the town when it was deserted in 1690 and died two or three years afterwards. He left three sons, John, James and Joshua and perhaps other children. John was a house carpenter and removed to Salisbury. James administered upon his father's estate; and was required by the court to produce the records of the town, which had been in the possession of the family. Joshua, who married a daughter of Philip Durrell, was a shoe maker and resided in Hampton in 1720. He had a grant of 100 acres of land, in 1732 and was made a proprietor of the town for producing Danforth's deed when the town was threatened with a lawsuit." page 89

In 1666 he lived in Cape Porpus
He wa spart owner of all the land between the carrying places upon the Merriconeag, Beginning at the head of the west branch of the Widegon Cove to West Bay. He also owned all the tract of land upon Grand Island and Jabeage Island. They were driven from this land by the Indian Wars of 1676. He took the "Oathe Of Allegiance" at Cape Porpus Plantation on 30 March, 1680.
On the Grand Jury 30th of June and on Jury Inquest August 1685. Town Clerk and Selectman until 1690 and died two years later.

WHY DID THE PUDDINGTONS COME TO MAINE? -- By Olive Butler

Because of a man called Sir Ferdinando Gorges who, in spite of his name was an English gentleman. He was born in 1566 and died in 1647 and. according to Webster's Biographical Dictionary, was a soldier, mariner and proprietor in America. In 1605, when he was the Governor of Plymouth Castle in Devon, a sailor named George Weymouth landed on the coast of Maine, planted the cross of St. George near the present town of Thomaston, and kidnapped five Abenaki
Indians whom he brought hack to England. Three of them, Manida, Sketwarroes and TIsquantum, were taken under Gorges' protection; the other two were cared for by Sir John Popham, the Lord Chief Justice.

Merchants from many English cities became interested and settlements were established under a patent dated 10 May 1622, the district becoming so well populated that in 1629 the territory was divided and the Laconia Company was formed with John Mason moving across the Piscatagua River thus becoming a founder of New Hampshire.

Sir Ferdinando spent much time with these Indians, teaching them English and learning much about the climate, topography, and general conditions in Maine, and they played a great part in the colonization of the northern portion of New Enqland. Gorges himself wrote: "This was an accident which must be acknowledged the means under God of putting on foot and giving life to all our plantations."

It seems that emigrants from Devon were fewer in number than from the eastern counties of England, but the Puddington's are mentioned as follows:

Tiverton: PUDDINGTON, George. Before 1640. Inn keeper. son of Robert Puddington, clothier, who owned mill- at Tiverton Married Mary Pooke at Tiverton 5 Feb 1630.

Until this time the whole territory of the New World had been under the jurisdiction of the Virginia Company, but it was divided into Northern and Southern Virginia and on the 10th'of April 1606, King James granted two charters to two companies for the control of two separate districts Sir Ferinando Gorges was one of the charter members of the Northern (or Plymouth) Company. He had heard much of the New-found-Iand from returning fishermen and was soon actively engaged in furthering the colonization of this northern territory, especially that now known as the State of Maine.

Gorges and Popham sent a ship under Capt. Henry Challons with two Abenakis to act as guides in Maine. Unfortunately, the ship was captured by the Spanish fleet. In 1607 two other ships, the "Gift of God" and the "Mary and John" sailed from Plymouth and established the Popham Colony near the mouth of the Kennebec River, but through misfortunes this was abandoned a year later.

Undeterred by failure, Sir Ferdinando continued his efforts and with Sir John Popham's son, Francis, established trading and fishing posts on the coast of Maine. Captain John Mason who had been Governor of Newfoundland in 1615, became the secretary for the "Council for New England" .

(Information from: Devon - Cornwall Notes & Queries, Vol. XVIII from Jan 1934 to October 1935. and Webster's Biographical Dictionary, 1943)

We do not know on which ship the Puddington's left Plymouth except that it was not the "Mayflower" (which may disappoint some of their descendents.) Standish and Gorges, however, left for different reasons - the one for religious freedom, the other for financial advantage.

The times when Gorges was exploring the possibilities of Maine were disastrous ones for Tiverton. There were two catastrophic fires, several severe outbreaks of the plague and a recession in the wool industry (History of Tiverton) so that thought of becoming prosperous in the New World must have appealed to George Puddington. Moreover the Popham settlements were organized very differently from those in Boston, with a town council and aldermen such as the Devon emigrants were accustomed to, and felt at home with.

What we are sure of is that George Puddington chose the Gorges' settlements and that his descendants were in York' Maine until the Indian massacre of 1691.

Ninth Generation (6th Great Grandparents)

256. Nicholas Dun, son of John Dun and Unknown , was born in 1650 in Oyster River, Durham, New Hampshire and died on 18 Jul 1694 in Oyster River, Durham, New Hampshire, at age 44.

General Notes:
Was a tailor and resided in Oyster River (Durham, New Hampshire). He was a member of the local militia and one of the signers of the 2/20/1689 petition to Massachusetts general court pleasding for local self-government. His name is the last records found of him. It is believed that he was killed in the July 18, 1694 Indian attack on Oyster River. 250 Indians attacked at daybreak and his place was located in the path of the attack. Of the 94 people reported killed or captured in the attack, only 69 have been accounted for. It is believed that he is one of the unaccounted.

Tradition reports that his wife heard gunshot. Looking out, she saw Indians running to scalp her husband. She took her child and escaped from the house and hid in a prostrate hollow tree. The savages, after pludnering and firing at the house, passed directly over their hiding place without discovering them. Tradition sometimes interferes with facts, since they had 3 children and two survived the attack. She later remarried to Thomas Allen of Durham.

Descendants claim both Ireland and Scotland to be his birthplace. Maybe America?
The Dun's had 3 children, Nicholas and Elizabeth, and Mary Catherine. Mary Catherine was born abt. 1680. She was taken captive in an Indian raid.

-----Original Message----- From: Thomas Dunn [mailto:tdunn@gofree.indigo.ie] Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 9:46 AM To: DUNN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DUNN] RC: Dun, Nicholas>; > Dunn, Clara Elvira>Aroostook>ME; 1650 - 1968

In response to a request for additions, correction and clarifications I offer the following:

The first three generations of this DUNN family are the ancestors of the twenty nine DUNN's that make up the fifth generation of this family.

1) Nicholas Dun & Elizabeth Roberts
2) Nicholas DUNN & Deborah Grindall
3) Nathaniel DUNN & Deborah Skillings
4) Samuel & Sarah Skillins
4) Josiah & 1st. Sarah Randall, 2nd. Sarah Strout (wid. Cash)
4) Nathaniel & Mercy Dyer

Generation 1) Nicholas Dun was taxed at Oyster River in 1682. How long he had been there and where he may have come from is not clear. Descendants from the 19th century have claimed both Ireland and Scotland to be his birthplace. There is also a possibility that he was born somewhere in America.

The common belief that Nicholas and Elizabeth had but two children (son Nicholas and daughter Elizabeth) is incorrect. Mary Catherine (this name may have been given when she was converted by the French) Dunn, a daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth, was born about the year 1680. She was taken captive in an Indian raid, most likely that of 1694 at Oyster River. She was twice married in Canada, residing in both cases on the southern shore of the St.
Lawrence River. Records of her marriages, her death at age 55, and her connection to Nicholas and Elizabeth can be found in the Quebec Archives.

Elizabeth Roberts was the daughter of William Roberts who was killed at the outbreak of King Philip's War. The name of her mother is not known with certainty, GDMNH shows William's widow as Dorothy. Stackpole, in his "History of Durham" suggests Anne. Davis, in "The Ancestry of Lydia Harmon"
states her name is not known.
In a book "Early Irish in New England " published in1909 and very rare five Dunn's are mentioned in one paragraph namely, Nicholas who settled New Hampshire, John in Connetticutt, Joseph in Salem Massachusetts, Richard in Rhode Island and Hugh initially in New Hampshire with Nicholas and after some rift went to New Jersey where he married Elizabeth Drake and had a whole mess of descendants. It is implied , though not said that these were brothers, were indentured servants including Hugh, were from Ireland, etc. In my family is a story that my Dunn's are descendant from five early Dunn brothers who were escaping religious persecution in Ireland ...
My earliest Dunn ancestor is an enigma to me. Is he related to any of these Dunns?

He is JAMES DUNN (b. abt. 1715, d. 19 Apr 1803, age 88 per gravestone, Chelmsford, Middlesex, MA). He first appeared in Chelmsford land records on 16 Jan 1759. His wife, ELIZABETH ____ (b. abt. 14 Nov 1715, d. 18 Jul 1774 age 58 yrs, 8 month, 4 days per gravestone, Chelmsford, MA).

Children (found in transcribed Chelmsford vital records unless otherwise noted...not necessarily born there?)

JOSEPH (b. 8 May 1737; d. 21 Dec 1778) m. MARY PIERCE 29 Jan 1765

JOHN (b. 15 Mar 1739/40; d. 19 Apr 1805) m. HANNAH PIERCE 27 Feb 1772

7 Dec 1775

REBECCA (b. 29 Jun 1748; d. ?: at Rockingham, New Hampshire in 1800) m. PHINEAS UNDERWOOD 10 Jan 1777

JAMES (curious he's not eldest son) (b. 16 May 1751, d. 16 Nov 1820) m.
Rachel Lund 18 Dec 1777 Merrimack New Hampshire (13 children, eldest, JAMES, b. 14 Nov 1777 Merrimack New Hampshire, d. 9 Oct 1858, Hiram, Portage OH)

WILLIAM (b. 21 Sep 1754, d. 12 Jul 1785) m. MARTHA DUNN (dau. **ROBERT DUNN** (1734-1808) & JANE ____ of Dunstable, MA) 22 Nov 1784 Dunstable MA

SARAH (b. 6 Oct 1759, d. 14 Jan 1781) singlewoman

My family lore is that JAMES DUNN (1715-1803) was not Irish, but Scottish. I have found no supporting evidence... Some have wondered if JAMES DUNN was Scottish, via Ireland ("escaping religious persecution"
there because of Scottish/Protestant background???)

Living descendents of BENJAMIN (3rd child) relate that James "was a stowaway on a ship from Ireland when he was discovered -- taken to the captain for prosecution -- a childless couple on board offered to take him, adopt him, as soon as an arrangement could be made in the port of Boston to save him from punishment." Other members of this branch remembers being told that James "was shipwrecked on the Massachusetts (?) coast, and was taken in by a family named Dunn."

Can anyone help with either JAMES DUNN (1715-1803) or with ROBERT DUNN (1734-1808)? Or, any suggestions?

I have extensive (but I'm sure incomplete) info. on all descendents, and would be happy to share this info...

Richard Byam Dunn, Jr.
(b. 24 Oct 1942, Boston MA)
Los Alamos, New Mexico
I didn't catch the author but the information on the Dunn's was contained in one paragraph
and the book was on ancestry.com. The famous Hugh Dunn has many confused and contradicting things
said about him. Some say he's Irish, some say he's English and I suspect that the actual record
is not known. As for John Dunn that is a hard one to trace. In the present, I have a first cousin
John Dunn and the name is much to common in both mine and your ancestry to trace. What you need
is a descendant named Josephus or Mergatroid Dunn and tracing would be much easier.One other
thing I can tell you about the five Dunn's in the book is my Uncle Marquis Dunn (b. 11/1890 and
died 11/1960) told us many years ago that we are descendant from five Dunn brothers that
immigrated from Ireland to escape religious persecution and that these Dunn's have Descendants
all over the country.I have heard that they were from County Meath or Cork. That would be
Catholic on Protestant persecution which was prevalent in the 17th and 18th century and probably
more from the British Church. It just happens that Nicholas, Hugh, Richard, John and Joseph fit
this description and their are large groups of Dunns descendant from these people who were
evidently Protestant even before the Scots Irish , or lowland Scots, moved into Ireland. I have
no proof and do not present it as such. All I know about my Dunn's is they moved from
Pennsylvania around 1760 to Ulster County ,New York from Pennsylvania and married into the
Huguenot descendants of the area.. There may have been about seven Dunn's that did this ,one of
them being a John Dunn who had to be a brother to my descendant James Dunn since they lived
together for a time. I believe , and do not know, that these Dunns were descendant from New
England Dunn's who moved to Pennsylvania. Hugh Dunn, William of Enfield Conn., and many Dunn's
were doing so and just like my family moved North instead of South like most Dunn's did. In fact,
one of Hugh Dunn's descendants Gershom, son of Benjamin, was living in New Paltz, NY right along
side my relatives after the Revolution.

Purinton
About Casco Bay in the state of Maine, for two centuries and over, men of the same surname have lived, namely, the families of Puringtons
Gt-"<^-+ CL" o o&'" 1-^-4<!
The name Is one taking root since the "Great Crossing" emigration, for the early settlers on the coast of Maine spelled It Purddington, taken undoubtedly from a residence of the family In England. Americanized It has been spelled Purlnton, Purlngton, Purrington, and Purrlton,
Puddlno:ton Is a parish In Witherldge Hundred, archdeacorry of Bernstaple,County of Devon, England; and Is situated sixteen ml. from Exelen It lies west of Tiverton, which is fourteen miles north of Exeter.
Puddlngton was probably the home of the first of the family who came to Exeter,
Legal complications, the visitations of flood 1625, end fire 1598 and 1641, which visited Tiverton, and from which this family suffered severely, are ample reasons why, between 1656 and 1641, members of the family would be attracted by Fernando George's colonization projects, and the two brothers George and Robert Puddlnerton, are found mentioned In New England records in April and May, 1640 (FromYork Kennebunk, Co Vital Statistics)
Probably they were sons of Robert and Anne his wife, of Tiverton he departed- this life in 1631

George Puddington landed from the ship "Pied Cow" at Sandy Beach Piscatiqua and settled at York, Me on his arrival. This town has born the names of .Bristol, Agaminticus, Georgeene . and York.
(Bradford, History of Kennebunk)
William Hooke, of the patentees of November 11,1641, sold to one Sympson, 14th of April 1640, land commonly called "The plain", lately fenced In by the said William Hooke, near the dwelling house of the said Sympson, which Sympson the next day sold to George _Puddington of Agaminticus, for 15 Pounds (George Puddington already owned land here) On the third of March 1641, Sympson sold to Puddington his planting ground lately bounded out, lying between the land of Puddington and land of Raphael Blaisdell, for thirty pounds sterling.
Georges erected Agaminticus Into a borough Apr10, 1641, with special privileges (First city in Maine)
This borough was to have the right of electing a mayor and eight aldermen who formed a court.
