E-mail, George R. Price - George Price [[email protected]], Sampson Dunbar died August 15, 1804, and was listed as"black" in the death record (FHL microfilm #0932776, "Stoughton births, marriages, and deaths, 1717-1860", item 3, page 14). Inmost records Sampson was referred to as a "mulatto", and sometimes no racial designation was given, which was usually the case for"white" persons. It was not at all unusual for persons of mixed race to be referred to by different racial labels for the same person ondifferent records. Indians or mixed Afro-Indians were often referred to as "mulattoes", "negroes", and even as "blacks" in earlyMassachusetts records. Frequent intermarriage between Afro-Americans and American Indians in the 17th through 19th centuries inMassachusetts was due largely to what historian Daniel Mandell called a "complimentary gender imbalance"- a surplus of Afro malescomplemented by a surplus of Indian women due to more male Africans being enslaved than females, and Indian males being killed,captured and sold into Caribbean slavery during the colonial era Indian wars. (See, Mandell, Daniel R. “Shifting Boundaries of Raceand Ethnicity: Indian-Black Intermarriage in Southern New England, 1760-1880”, Journal of American History, September, 1998).An excellent book that deals with the topic of racial labelling of mixed black, Indian, and white people in the colonial era is Forbes,Jack D. Africans and Native Americans: The Language of Race and the Evolution of Red-Black Peoples (Chicago, University ofIllinois Press, 1993).5.

He seved under George Washington as a fortificationsengineer. IN 1780 he left his Wampanaoagneighbors, seeking opportunitiesof capitalism that citizens had always enjoyed but from which indigenouspeople had beencustomarily and legislatively excluded. He settled in NorthBridgewater (now Brockton, Massachusetts), a town with very fewresidents ofcolor, married in 1783, and took up the skilled craft of ironworking as hisprofession. James Easton's wife, Sarah, was thedaughter of Sampson Dunbar,a respected citizen of Braintree and later of Stoughton, Massachusetts. Inmost civil records SampsonDunbar is referred to as a "mulatto" but inothers he receives no racial designation, suggesting that some local clerkspossibly regardedhim as "white". James and Sarah Easton had seven childrenbetween the years of 1786 and 1799; five sons and two daughters.

E-mail, Dunkley, Diane [[email protected]], Dear Mr. Fleck:The current museum exhibit is based on a book produced by theNSDAR library and genealogy departments, listing minority patriots state by state. The Massachusetts listing includes JoshuaDunbar, black; and Samuel Dunbar, mulatto. Both names are referenced to Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the RevolutionaryWar, published in Boston 1896-1906 (17 vols.) Joshua was noted as being from Bridgewater & Hingham, and Samuel fromBraintree. Both names are included in our exhibition in a section that lists all the names from the DAR book. Unfortunately, wedon't have anything else that refers to them. As you can imagine, finding portraits of these patriots was quite difficult, and findingobjects connected to a particular person even tougher.Our exhibition will be up through August. I hope you can come and see it. Ifnot, you can purchase a copy of the DAR book African American and American Indian Patriots of the Revolutionary War throughour museum shop.I am sending a copy of this e-mail, and yours, to Eric Grundset, DAR Library director and the editor and one of theauthors of the book.Diane DunkleyDirector, DAR Museum.79.

"100 Years of Marriages of Trumbull County 1800-1900" The books were just received by the library late in 1999.One of the Volumes had not even had the binding opened yet. Well even though I knew Noah and Rebecca were probably in thereand that I didn't even have to look, I thought that I would take a glance, just to make sure. I couldn't believe my eyes. Right next tothe record of their marriage was Rebecca's father's consent. I couldn't believe it. All this time I always said I would believe if I onlycould find her and her father's name on the same document. Well I believe. "Joel Downs gives consent."** "But if they were in ahurry to leave that may account for why they didn't sell it or sold it for cheap and that would account for why Noah was so poor andwas buried in the "poor shepherds ground."** "Also, I have Rebecca being born in NY and also Samuel being born in NY. Do youknow where in NY they might have been born? Did I tell you that I made contact with Martha Ann's descendants. Martha Ann wasthe youngest daughter of Noah and Rebecca Dunbar. They have Martha Ann's husband's journal and it has written all of the otherchildrens names and birth dates of Noah and Rebecca and als that Rebecca was born in 1803. I dont remember when I made contactwith them, if it was before I called you or after I called you."131. Ruth Naomi (Pummel) Herbig, "Family Group Sheet by RNH."132.

Where could a record be found on that?Sheappears on the census with the family, even when she was in Madison,then later, I can't remember right now how long, but someyears later,her name no longer appeared with the family. Ellen's marriage to Joseph Rawson is recorded in the RichlandCourthousein Richland Center, WI. I have June 13, 1881. Volume D, page326. Her death certificate is there too, Volume D, page 9. Ellenwasborn Nov. 27, 1826 in Kentucky and died May 27, 1893 at Sylvan Township,Richland Co. WI. Ellen was buried at the FeltonCemetery, Richland Co.WI. beside her first husband, Solomon Hall. Solomon was born Jan 14,1822 and died March 3, 1880.Ellenwas the daughter of William B. Owen or Oens and Rachel Poytner.Ellen's parents both were born in Montgomery Co. Kentucky, hein 1805and she in 1802. BothWilliam and Rachel died at the home of JosephRawson at Sylvan. The newspaper spelled the name"Owens" but there is an Oens Cemeteryin Richland Co. so probably Oens is correct. I couldn't find where theywere buried. They hada son named Edwin too.

Suzanne Dunbar [[email protected]]; 3111 South 2000 East, Salt Lake, Utah 84109, "Research of Suzanne D.Dunbar," Source materials noted in manuscript provided.259. E-mail, Bruce Mullendore <[email protected]> to Suzanne Dunbar [[email protected]], About Joseph and MarthaAnn, she went to Madison on June 8, 1875 andwas there until she died Dec 3, 1932. She was there 57 years. We knowJoseph did goto see her. I do not know if they were divorced or not,but I would hope they were. Where could a record be found on that?Sheappears on the census with the family, even when she was in Madison,then later, I can't remember right now how long, but someyears later,her name no longer appeared with the family. Ellen's marriage to Joseph Rawson is recorded in the RichlandCourthousein Richland Center, WI. I have June 13, 1881. Volume D, page326. Her death certificate is there too, Volume D, page 9. Ellenwasborn Nov. 27, 1826 in Kentucky and died May 27, 1893 at Sylvan Township,Richland Co. WI. Ellen was buried at the FeltonCemetery, Richland Co.WI. beside her first husband, Solomon Hall. Solomon was born Jan 14,1822 and died March 3, 1880.Ellenwas the daughter of William B. Owen or Oens and Rachel Poytner.Ellen's parents both were born in Montgomery Co. Kentucky, hein 1805and she in 1802. BothWilliam and Rachel died at the home of JosephRawson at Sylvan. The newspaper spelled the name"Owens" but there is an Oens Cemeteryin Richland Co. so probably Oens is correct. I couldn't find where theywere buried. They hada son named Edwin too. They were strongMethodists. I'm looking forward to hearing about the Grant Cemtery in IL.Virginia.260. 1880 Census, NARA T9-1445, Sylvan, Richland, Wisconsin - Pg. 185A.261. Judge James H.
