A home built by James C. Dunn still stands at the S0uthwest corner of West 5th Avenue and Jacksboro Street. James M. Dunn was born in this home as well as another architect by the name of Albert Baumann. The home prior to this which was occupiied by the James C. Dunn family has now the Lawson McGhee Library standing upon its foundations. James C. Dunn also built a warehouse in Decatur, Alabama. The timbers used were cut around Knoxville, sawed and pressed here, then shipped by flat boats to Decatur.
In the records of his grandfather, Dr. Fouche (?), Mr. W.B. Brownlow,realtor, recently found memorandum of a gift of $50.00 to James C.Dunn for "faithful service" in connection with the building of the Fouche home, which was erected upon the sitte of Marvis (?) Mortuary.James C. Dunn also built the old 2-story brick building at the northwest corner of Gay and Union (Miller's Store) which was occupied many years by a book store and print shop owned by WS.J. Ramage. When the demolition of the structure began, Mr. James M. Dunn purchased the brackets around the cornice work and used them to decorate his own home at 1424 Armstrong Ave.

Not sure at this time where this cemetery fits in with OUR DUNN line:
This small cemetery, indicated on the U.S.G.S. Bearden quadrangle, islocated in a yard off Nubbin Ridge Road. There probably were under adozen graves here. Only one very eroded stone remains, and it isalmost unreadable. There may have been a low stone wall around thiscemetery at one time. The cemetery was visited March 24, 1989.

I have been unable to locate James C. Dunn in an 1850 and 1860 census,so I was wondering if he might have removed to a different state for a period. I'll dash out and find the 1860 reference today. Still no1850. In 1870, that would be

By the way, Knox Co. TN Chancery Ct Docket #2076 shows the two oldestchildren were William C. Dunn and Thomas A. Dunn. I think William wasborn in the 1847 period, while around 1849 should turn out to be closefor Thomas. --Carl

Genearations:
William Dunn md. Catherine Walters
Thomas Dunn md. Ellen Chambers
James C. Dunn md. Mildred A. Malone
Harriet Ann Dunn md. Masten Tate Hill
This is the story about my grandfather;
Masten Tate Hill {My Grandfather} md. 1st to Harriet Ann Dunn and they had seven children, then later on Harriet had a sister Eliza Jane Dunn who lived with her mother Mildred Dunn. Mildred was struck by lightning and killed and Eliza didn't havave no one to take car of hereafter their mother died, so Masten and Harriet let Eliza moved in with them,Eliza was about 14 years old.After she moved in Eliza and my grandfather Masten, he and Eliza had five children together, but they never did get married and then later Harriet divorced Masten. Then my grandfather went to Jefferson Co., Tn and married my grandmother who was also a Hill they had five children, which my father was born.
Later on Eliza married one of my husband;s ancestors, Thomas A. Kesterson. He was in the Spanish American War.
I sent to get Thomas' records and learned from them that Eliza had been married prior to all the other happenings. Eliza was married to william Pruett in Knox Co.,Tn.They lived together for two months and her husband had her charged with adultery with my grandfather, Masten. Eliza and William got a divorced. William and Eliza had no children.
William Dunn was in the Revolutionary War.
William came to the United States from Bristol, England in a vessel named "Woods" in the capacity of a cabin boy. William settled in Virginia. For sometime he operated a stage coach between Washington and Richmond.
He enlisted in Captain Firfax's{?} Virginia Company for the duration of the Rev. War. Captured by the British, he was given the option of serving with the British Troops
in this country, or taken on one of the British Prison Ships at Charleston, S.C.
He served with the British Troops until the opportunity cane to escape and rejoin his old command. He was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorkstown, following which he was in charge of a large number of British Prisoners who were sent over Congress{?}.
Later William Dunn became a builder. James C.Dunn was also a builder. james built a beautiful home in Knoxville, Tn. that is still standing today. the Dunn family learned the carpenters trade. I have James C.Dunn married on 26 Dec. 1844 in Knoox C., Tn. to Mildred A. Malone. I have a folder that has Dunn information. I did the Dunn research,because my grandfather was married to Harriet and had 7 children and Eliza whom my grandfather didn't marry, but had 5 children. I wanted to know my kinship to these families, which I learned in my research and found all these the cousins whom I have met and talk with and I was so glad to find them after searching all these years.
This is why I have done the Dunn Family research. I want to know all my kin folks.
Is there anything you can share on the dunn families? Any information will be appreciated.

Wonderful story!! I am descended from two different groups of Dunns who intermarried.
William Dunn (the Rev. soldier) had a daughter Mary who married Thomas Rowland. Their daughter Eliza Jane Rowland married my 2nd great-grandfather Elijah Dunn, himself a descendant of a completely different (and much earlier) William Dunn of the Northern Neck of VA.--Carl

Well, at least part of the story has problems. Mildred A. (Malone)Dunn died in 1866, so Eliza Ann Dunn could not have been her daughter. However, Harriet A. Dunn's father James C. Dunn appears to have remarried a sister of Mildred Malone's in 1867, so that may fit into the picture. Any idea why Eliza Ann Dunn would have been living with her mother, as opposed to with her mother and father? James C. Dunn died in 1889. --Carl

James C. Dunn married Sarah Malone,the sister of Mildred Malone after she died.I found the marriage records in Knoxville.They were married April 13,1867 ,and Eliza was born in 1870. So John Dunn and Eliza are the children of Sarah Malone and James C. Dunn
