[51520] Dennis is son of Rufus Ames (1812-1885) & Mary Jane Runnels (b. i 1814; m. in June, 1840 in Orland, Hancock Co., ME).
Nathaniel r. Cornish, Maine in 1812. A Private in Capt. Briant Morton's Co. (seacoast), enlisted 27 Jan. 1776, served 7 months 4 days; company was stationed at Scarborough and Cape Elizabeth, Maine. {- ref. Mass. Sailors and Soldiers, Vol. 5, p. 59} He came from Gorham after Nov., 1796 and by 1797 to Cornish. His grandson (Col. Joshua Dunn) said the family came from Ireland and settled in the Portsmouth, NH area.
A Nathaniel Dunn, born in 1711 in MA, married in 1730 Deborah Skillin; he died in 1737 in New Hampshire (per Gerald C. Dunn, 368 Terebet Ct., Edgewood, KY 41017, 5/92, who also lists a Nicholas Dunn. born in the 1680s in NH, married in 1710 in Mass. to Deborah Grindle; he d. in 1745 - there is no indication that these are ancestors of Nathaniel of Maine). NSDAR 215834; NSSAR 119888. Tom Dunn posted on GenForum in July, 2003: "The Nathaniel Dunn who married Mercy Dyer was indeed the son of Nathaniel and Deborah (Skillings) Dunn of Kittery and Portsmouth. Nathaniel (the father) was born at Boston on 13 May 1711 and married Deborah Skillings around 1732 at Kittery. He was dead by 1738 when his wife and four children moved to Cape Elizabeth where Deborah's father was a substantial landowner. Now there is a fair amount of confusion over which of the Dunn brothers married Deborah Skillings. Hathaway & Sargent make a solid case that it was Nathaniel. Nathaniel was the son of Nicholas Dunn who married Deborah Grindall on 6 June 1710 at Boston's 2nd Church. Nicholas his wife had five children at Boston, two daughters died very young. Nicholas his wife and three children left Boston in January of 1719/20 to settle at Oyster River, now Durham, NH. While they briefly belonged to the church at Durham where a sixth child was baptized, they soon settled at Kittery where their family continued to increase. By 1733 Nicolas had crossed the river and was residing in Portsmouth. Nicholas, who seemed to have prospered earlier, fell on rough financial times and volunteered to join the Pepperell's forces which were moving against Louisbourg. Nicholas was killed there on 17 June 1745. The Nicholas described above was the son of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Roberts) Dunn of Oyster River. This Nicholas was taxed at Oyster River in 1680/81, therefore he was likely to have been born prior to 1660. He is last recorded at O.R. in Feb. of 1689/90, and was dead by 1699 when his wife sold their land. Family lore tells of Nicholas being killed in an Indian raid. My own research has uncovered one of his daughters living in Canada until her death in 1735 at the age of 55. Having studied the history of O.R., I've concluded that Nicholas was one of the many unnamed who died during the raid in 1694. Sources: History of The Second Church Boston; Robbins, 1852; Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire; Libbey, Noyes et al; Nicholas Dunn Family History; 1983, Hathaway; The Skillin Book; Yates, 1926; The Skillings Family: Sargent; Old Kittery and Her Families; Stackpole, 1903; NEHGR; October,1927, page 441; Records held at the Ma. Archives; Vol. 94, p. 111 & p. 389." [n response to another GenForum query, Tom Dunn offered: "Marie Catherine, most likely a name given to her when she was baptized by the French, was the daughter of Nicholas Dunn and his wife Elizabeth Roberts. The family lived at Oyster River (now Durham, NH). During an Indian raid, she was taken captive and ended up on the south side of the St. Lawrence River. I believe the raid was that of July 1694. She married twice, once to a Dube and once to a Morillon."] "Vital Records of Gorham, Maine" (Camden, ME: Picton Press, 1991) p. 118 lists children of Nathaniel and Mercy: Deborah (b. 6 Feb 1771), Polly (10 Oct 1773), Josiah (22 Feb 1776), Samuel (15 March 1778), Betsy (17 June 1780), Benjamin (no date) and David (no date). See "History of Gorham, Maine," Hugh D. McLellan (Katharine B. Lewis, editor; Portland: Smith & Sale, 1903), p. 471, which states "Nathaniel Dunn came to Gorham from Long Creek, Cape Elizabeth. ...In 1812 he was a resident of Cornish."

Edmund and Bennet also had Alice (1618), Bennet (by 1622), and Nathaniel (1629). Edmund m. (2) 10 Aug 1632 in Shipley, Sussex, England Elizabeth (Raymer). Jean Mayo-Lakatos (jmayolak@tampabay.rr.com) shared in 2003: Edmund Freeman was born ca. 1590 in Devonshire or Oxford, England. He arrived in Saugus, Lynn, MA on the 'Abigail' with his wife and children in 1635. He established the first English town on Cape Cod on Apr. 3, 1637 along with 9 other men. It was legally incorporated as what is now known as Sandwich in 1639. He was buried on his land in 1682, over looking Cape Cod Bay, and it has become the oldest burying place in Sandwich, MA. When he came to America, he came with his wife, Elizabeth, and his children: Elizabeth(12), Alice(17), Edmund(15), and John(8). He was at Saugus(alias Lynn), in MA in 1635. He was admitted freeman at Plymouth Jan. 2, 1637 and resided a short time in Duxbury, MA. His wife died a few years before him. She died Feb. 14, 1675/6. 2 huge stones mark their burial sites.He was buried on his own land on the hill in the rear of his dwelling. The site, though not greatly elevated, presents an extended view both of the surrounding landscape and bay in Sandwich, MA. Inscriptions have been put on those stones in recent years. They read:
a. 'Elizabeth, wife of Edmond Freeman, born in England in 1600, and died in Sandwich 1675/6.'
b. 'Edmond Freeman, born in England 1590, and died in Sandwich in 1682....A Founder of the town of Sandwich in 1637 and Assistant to Governor Bradford 1640-1647.'
c. These stones are in the woods near the junction of Sandwich Road and Route 6.His wife was said to have been Elizabeth Bennett. Their children were:
Alice: b.England 1618.

John Freeman above, died in Eastham Oct.28,1719. He married in Eastham on Feb.14,1649/50 Mercy Prence, daughter of Governor Thomas Prence and Patience Brewster, daughter of William Brewster. Mercy was born ca.1631 and died in Eastham on Sept.28, 1711. Major John Freeman was one of the early settlers of Eastham and he also fought in the King Philip's War. Edmund and John Freeman were the earliest settlers in Sandwich before John moved on to Eastham. I have another version of the origins of Edmund Freeman, immigrant ancestor. I have that he was born in Pulborough, Essex, England ca. 1594 and died ca. 1686 in Sandwich, MA. He married Elizabeth Gravely on Oct.13,1617 in Herts, England, and this was probably his 2nd marriage. Elizabeth died in Sandwich, MA on Feb.14, 1676. He was Deputy for Plymouth Colony in 1641; Assistant to Governor Prence 1640-1646; a member of the Council of War in 1642; and later served as a judge. His father was also named Edmund Freeman and he was buried on June 6, 1623 in Pulborough, Essex, England. His will was proved on June 8, 1623. He was married to Alice Coles, a sister of George Coles, of Amberly, Essex, England.

Brother to Nancy, George, John, David, Eva, Rachel, Isaac, Mary Ann, Jacob. Obituary: Daniel N. Fulk, died at his home in Scotland County, Mo. on Thursday, August 10, 1899, aged 83 years and 10 months. He was born in Highland County, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1815. On New Year's Day, 1841, he was married to Miss Lillie Mitchell at her home near Blanchester, Ohio. In April 1845, they settled on their homestead in Scotland County, where they lived until his death. (Note: The recorded marriage date is January 12, 1843). In his pioneer days, as of later years, he has taken a great interest in the public schools of our county. During the civil war he took an active part in the home guard service and nobly fought for the union. In his younger days, he united with the Olive Branch Universalist Church at his Ohio home, to which church he has always been loyal, and earnestly advocated the brotherhood of man and the universal fatherhood of God. The family circle, consisting of seven sons and three daughters, mourn the broken link with their aged mother in her seventy-sixth year. The funeral services at Richland church were conducted by the Order of Free Masons, of which order he had been a member since the year 1852. During the last three years he had patiently endured untold suffering, brought on by the excruciating pains of cancer and he welcomed death with calm belief in the final harmony of all souls with God."

[41163] Thomas and his wife and parents are from the unverified information in http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~shopefamily/Tree in 2016 which reports "Thomas was apprentice to Wm. Haskins at about age sixteen . After their marriage, Thomas and Joanna lived in Dover, NH, and were granted 20 acres on Fresh Creek Neck in 1694. In 1701 Thomas sold his father's property, 500 acres at Potts Neck and the island nearby.
