New York Dunns Make Contact On Facebook
A woman in America has contacted me via Facebook telling me she is the great grand daughter of Simon Dunn's half brother, Charles Jacob Dunn. For many of us Simon Dunn was either our Grandfather or Great Grandfather.
Erin Dunn-Franklin, originally of Austin, Texas, now living in Boston Massachusetts, got in touch on Friday, leaving a message on the page of the Facebook group, 'Descendants of Emanuel Don', " I found this page through your blog - Charles J Dunn was my great-grandfather".
Charles married Rose Batchker, and the couple had just one child, Arnold, pictured below who married Patrica. Erin's father is Thomas Edward Dunn, and she has a brother, Charles Edward Dunn.

She has sent over a few photo's of her great grandfather, and his brother Harry, as well as of her dad Thomas with Charles as an old man. He lived to be 99.
Her father has two brothers, Robert (Bob) and James (Jimmy).
Her family are still in touch with the family of Charles and Simon's other brother, Harry E Dunn, who also came to New York at the turn of the 20th Century.
There was another brother, David, who had three sons and a daughter, These were Lou, Wolfe and Morry, and Debbie.
There was also another sister, in addition to Rose who we already know about. Ada Dunn. She married Alfred Epstein, they had two children, Florence and Milton (Melton). These are listed on the Will of Rose Dunn, from 1956. They lived in the Bronx and New Jersey.
