John Dunaway 1798-1885 was the son of William Dunaway. I have him married to Sarah Colbert. William Dunaway moved to Georgia from Va. He was awarded land for fighting in the revolutionary war. William Dunaway was born 1751. Try Wilkes County Georgia for more information. William is my 4th great-grandfather. Hope this helps.
