12. In previous publications four children have been given to Jonathan and Mary (Smith) Dunham who do not belong in the list of their children. These children are Daniel, Ephraim, Experience b. 8 June 1734, and Joseph b. 4 December 1736.
The evidence in the will of Katherine 4 Dunham who leaves “to my brother’s eldest son, Benjamin Dunham, £5” indicates that Benjamin was the oldest son of Jonathan 4 Dunham. The will of Jonathan 4 Dunham written 31 January 1747/8 states that he has six children under 15 years of age but names only his son Benjamin.
Circumstantial evidence and research I have done places Daniel, Ephraim, Experience and Joseph as the children of Daniel 4 Dunham.

NOTE: The first three generations are the same as # 2138 (Lloyd Eugene Dunham). Descent from Moses 5 to Elisha 6 Dunham has not been proven yet and this line is therefore based on circumstantial evidence and research done by Carl Edward 11 Dunham and his wife Ruth (Boswell) Dunham.
Joseph 4 Dunham b. 7 October 1700 in Woodbridge, Middlesex Co. New Jersey [1]
d. December 1771 in Woodbridge NJ [2]

m. prob. Elizabeth Anderson [8]
Reference:
6. Approximate age; probably named for his father’s brother Elisha 5
7. Elisha does not appear on the 1800 census in Fayette Co. PA, however there is an Elizabeth Dunham on the 1800 census p. 594 in Springhill Twp. who is over 45 and has 3 males under 10 and 1 female under 10.
8. Name given by a descendant (Claire Foster), but without proof.

m. Catherine Crow [11]

9. Allen Dunham and family appear on the 1850 census of Springhill Twp. Fayette Co. PA, p. 93; Allen Dunham age 60; Catherine Dunham age 49

Still living. Participated in DNA analysis. His results showed that he matched the descendants of the Singletary/alias Dunham line. This proved that both the Piscataway New Jersey descendants of Deacon John Dunham and the descendants of Jonathan 2 Singletary/alias Dunham of Woodbridge NJ were living in Fayette Co. PA.
#12738 - James Donald Donham of Pennsylvania
NOTE: There is a very large group of people who descend from Nathaniel Donham of Woodbridge, Middlesex Co. NJ who had 9 sons and 1 daughter. Nathaniel Donham, whose birth date is about 1733, is first found in Woodbridge and Perth Amboy NJ. He moved to Greene Co. PA, where his two oldest sons remained, and then went to Clermont Co. OH. To date there has been no conclusive evidence to link Nathaniel Donham to either the Dunham line from Piscataway (descendants of Deacon John 1 Dunham through his son Benajah 2 Dunham; or the Singletary/alias Dunham line from Richard 1 Singletary through his son Jonathan 2 who used the surname of Dunham. On 17 October 2003 DNA analysis results for James Donald Donham were received which show a one step mutation from the line of the Singletary/alias Dunham line of Woodbridge New Jersey.
The earliest proven ancestor of this line is Nathaniel 1 Donham, however further research may allow descendants to learn his ancestry. For the purpose of this study he is given the generation number “1”.
