• Notes

  Daniel & Bathsheba married 12 May 1767, Tisbury, Dukes, Mass...per IGI Daniel Dunham & family apparently arrived in Washington Co OH in 1789. However, there are indications that he/they might have been there a year earlier. Rufus Putnam and the first Marietta settlers from MA and RI took the old road across southern PA to Pittsburg and then came down the Ohio River. Persons fro CT who were going to Ohio's Western Reserve used lakes and rivers to get to Buffalo, NY. They eventually followed the shoreline of Lake Erie to get to northern OH and Cleveland. DEATH: DOD from Belpre, Ohio -- Cemeteries, Rockland & Cedarville FHC #0940911, Item 6, p.2: "In memory of Mr. Daniel Dunham who died Jan. (17) 1791, in the 45th year of his age." Grave in Cedarville Cemetery which may have been moved to Rockland. Cemetery copied about 1935 by people not familiar with this type of thing as there is a note stating they may have mixed up some of the information as to which grave belonged in which cemetery.
