There was a William Dunn dec'd 1724 in Elizabeth City County VA. He was mentioned as a son in law of Katherine Forgeson/Fergeson in her 1713 will. This William Dunn connects with surnames Williams, Avera/Avery and Davis, and seems to be related to a John Dunn and Joel Dunn later in the same county. William Dunn's children's names match closely with the William and Ann Dunn in Richmond Co VA 1711-1720.

Does anybody know about the Elizabeth City Co VA Dunn line and how it connects with the Dunn lines in counties just north of there?
Thanks,
Gary
