The Dunham Family Connection<br />
The Dunham family connects to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r families in this report by way <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> marriage <strong>of</strong> Anna<br />
Dunham to Ira Zedock Hackler.<br />
Before 1850<br />
The account <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dunham family prior to 1850 was taken from www.ancestry.com’s<br />
OneWorldTree <strong>and</strong> from databases found at www.familysearch.com (Mormon Church research<br />
data). In this tree, ancestry.com combines all public trees available into a “best guess” tree. There<br />
is quite a bit <strong>of</strong> contradictory data with this family, so this report will be a best guess. From 1850<br />
on, <strong>the</strong> US census data was used.<br />
