Message Board Post:
I am trying to trace a woman named Maude Dunn (widow of Walker Dunn of Knoxville, TN).
She was reportedly a descendant of some kind of Samuel Cecil of Wayne Co., KY. I am not
sure if this would be through his son with his first wife, Katherine Peavyhouse, or
through one of his numerous children with second wife, Jane Chrisman. Maude supposedly
had several sisters, one of whom was Alvertine Cecil Parker. Their father was supposed to
be a William Cecil and his wife, Rachel Kennedy. William's mother was named Letitia.
I'm not sure of his father's name. Maude was married and divorced from Samuel
Carr/Karr of Whitley Co., KY. In the 1910 census, Maude and Samuel had a one year old son
named Oscar. Later Oscar seems to have changed his surname to Allen for some reason.
Maude also had a daughter, Minnie Davis (b abt 1898) whose father may have been Fred
Davis. Is anyone aware of a son or grandson of Samuel Cecil's who married a Letitia
and had a son named William? Or !
might Letitia herself be a daughter or granddaughter? Any help sorting out this tangled
web would be most appreciated!
