Is there a book on Guardianships between 1860 and 1870 in Washington County? I see there
is one for 1820-1859 available. I am trying to find out what happened to John J. Dunn and
his wife Mary. Family stories states that they were moving by wagon from Bullitt County,
Kentucky. The story says that both parents died and the children were divided up among
families in the area at the grave site. Children of John and Mary Dunn are twins, William
Thomas and Charles H. born 1848, F. Dunn born abt 1821, and son John J. born 1853. I am
not sure when they died but the children were found in different homes in the 1870
Washington County census. The obituary of John Jefferson Dunn, Jr., at the age of 8 years
of age, he was taken into the home of Martin and Emeline Souder and raised as one of the
family. All help will be appreciated.
