Message Board Post:
I don't have much more than I've given you -- my line is through Lucy's
brother Louis/Lewis. But I have that his sister, Lucy Call married John Dunton. She was
born 15 Feb 1799. (From LDS file extracted from local birth records. Their marriage is
also in the LDS files - do you use their website? You can find both of these records at
www.familysearch.org. I understand the items entered by individuals may not be completely
reliable but both of these are extracted from local records and should be as accurate as
these old records get.)
That would lead me to suspect that your Lucy Dunton might be their child. The 1850 census
shows a Lucy Dunton (married to a James Dunton but he may have gone by James for all I
know -- and they have a daughter Lucy Dunton born about 1837 -- sounds like the right time
period.) This same family is listed in 1860, 1870 and in 1880 it is just Lucy who is,by
that time, 81.
They repeated names so often in this family (in fact during that time period) that
it's hard to know if you have the right folks but the Frank Leslie Call I have was
born about 1860 and was the son of Francis Call and a Susan (Unknown).
Hope this helps. Good luck!
