Gratia Mahony Dunham reminds us of "how much harder it must have been to keep records straight without the aid of computers. It was also more difficult to travel to places where vital records were kept, such as town halls and court houses and churches." "Isaac Watson Dunham worked for years corresponding with living Dunham descendants whom he know, and these people are credited in his book. When you read his book, (the numbering system is very hard to follow), you can almost see where information was given to him by family members, and I feel that these parts of his book are fairly accurate." "Unfortunately, IWD died (as quite an old man) BEFORE his work was finished. His family (who apparently did not have his love for or knowledge of genealogy) hurridly put the material together and got it printed. I think that is why there are so many typographical errors in the book." "There are no source citations in the book at all, and that is a major problem. There are some lines that he has done accurately (as they have been proven by vital records and other documents). Then there ARE WHOLE LINES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT UNDER THE WRONG ANCESTOR. The whole line of Jonathan Singletary/alias Dunham has been put under Deacon John Dunham's son Thomas." "I have used IWD's book as a clue; but only to have a reference point with which to look for the vital records of a certain line. His book was printed in 1907 and since then there have been numerous articles in periodicals which have straightened out different parts of the work. My own work on compiling a new Dunham genealogy has started from scratch with all lines; and sources are cited for every fact of birth, marriage and death. Another reason that deed research is so important is because sometimes that is the only way to trace a piece of land and discover the relationships of a family." |

Huttash of Jacksonville, TX (15 Nov 1998): "John Bunyan's second wife was his first cousin Susan Comfort Singletary, the widow of Alexander Black, a Civil War veteran born 22 Mary 1836 and died 15 March 1877. Her tombstone reads "Mrs. C. S. Singletary, 23 Nov 1843-9 Oct 1887". In doing research for DAR papers it was hard to prove Comfort Susan or Susan Comfort or Susannah Comfort was the daughter of Thomas and Peggy Ann Singletary as she is show as Hubbard S., male, on the 1850 census! I finally found a deed of gift that saved the day, so to speak. Her father fared not much better as the family is shown as SINGLETON."
