Note for: Elijah Troxel Dunn, 20 JUN 1840 - 24 AUG 1934 Index

Individual Note:
Elijah T. Dunn, attorney at law, Findlay, was born in Knox County, Ohio, June 20, 1840. His father was a farmer and tobacco grower. In 1844 he removed with his people to Wood County, Ohio, in what was then known as the "Black Swamp," where, around a hickory bark fire, and three terms of winter school, his early education was finished. At the age of thirteen he entered the office of the Herald of Freedom, at Wilmington, and became an expert printer. He taught several terms of school in Clarke and Hancock Counties, pursuing in the meantime the study of law. On the breaking out of the Rebelliion he united with the Union party, while yet a minor, and did service for a short time as a member of the Twenty-first Regiment Ohio Volunteers. Becoming unable to perform duty as a soldier, he continued for a while in a clerkship in the quartermaster department at Nashville, Tenn. Returning to Findlay he completed his law course, and on the 2d of August, 1862, was admitted to the bar. He was then twenty-one years of age. He then settled down in Findlay, and has ever since been creditably identified with the legal profession. Mr. Dunn is a very busy man. Besides a large law practice, he owns and controls a good farm, and

FINDLAY TOWNSHIP AND VILLAGE -- 741
devotes considerable attention to fine cattle. He is a stockholder and director in the Farmer's National Bank, director and secretary of the Findlay Gas Light Co., of the Findlay Oil & Gas Co., and President of the Wood & Hancock Oil & Gas Company. He devotes a great deal of attention to financial matters. He favors public improvements, and on all questions involving public enterprises he takes a leading and aggressive part.
January 12, 1895, he was married to Martha L., daughter of Anthony Strother, of Findlay, and by her has had three sons: Bernard L., John A., and James C. Our subject and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Mr. Dunn of Stoker Post, G. A. R. and Hancock Lodge, I. O. O. F. He is not a politician, but votes with the Democrats. Has held the offices of Justice of the Peace and collector of internal revenue. Of his family, so far back as they are known, it may be said that they have been honest, industrious, intelligent and generous. Never was one convicted of crime. They have not been distinguished, but along the vale of life have kept the even tenor of their way. Yet the "simple annals of the poor" are, to those interested, well worth preserving, because we may all meet again on the morning of a better day.
Indebtedness is due to J. B. Dunn, of Deshler, Ohio, for the folling genealogy of the Dunn family. He has preserved it with great care, and it is believed to be correct.
Genealogy of the Dunn family as given by Jacob B. Dunn, of Deshler, Henry Co., OH: "About the year 1720 one George Dunn, with two brothers, all Protestants, came from North Ireland (near Londonderry), to Long Island. One brother subsequently settled in New Jersey, and George Dunn in Maryland. From these brothers, the Dunns of Hamilton County, Ohio, or Indiana, and part of those of Kentucky, Virginia and Pennsylvania, derive their descent.
The above mentioned George Dunn was a Baptist preacher and carried his 'rather damp' gospel west of the Allegheny Mountains, through what from his name was called 'Dunn's Gap.' The date of his birth, death and marriage, and the name of his wife, are not within the knowledge of the writer, but there lived such a man called George Dunn. His son (also named George) was a farmer, living near Harper's Ferry, in Maryland or Virginia. This second George Dunn had four sons and two daughter: John, George, Jacob and Peter; Catharine Married James Schnebly, and with him settled near Xenia, Ohio; Mary (or Polly) married a man named Elam, and settled in western Ohio. their father (the second George Dunn) died February 22, 1817. Of the sons, Peter died in Kentucky, a few years before the war of the Rebellion, Jacob died in Knox County, Ohio, about 1862, John died in Washigton County, MD., about 1831. George (the second son of the second George Dunn, and the third bearing the name), was born in Washington County, MD, January 8, 1779. He died in Wood County, Ohio, Dec. 13, 1865. The wife of the second George, and mother of the above six children, was named Susanna, maiden name unknown. She died April 27, 1811. The third George Dunn was married near the close of the eighteenth century, to Sarah Mills, who was born 1776 (day not known), and died in 1845.
Their children (all born in Maryland) were as follows: Robert, born Sept. 8, 1798; died Aug. 21, 1872, married to Mary Forsyth; John, born Dec. 1, 1799; died March 9, 1851, married to Elizabeth D. Boolman; Susanna -----; died Aug. 7, 1802; in infancy. Jacob, born July

Lewis March 9, 1871.
The above names (not including the initials in brackets) are the names by which the children of John and Elizabeth D. Dunn were christened, the initials 'B.', 'T.', and 'R.' being afterward chosen by Jacob, Ilijah and John, partly to aid in distinguishing from others having similar first initials, and partly to preserve traces of the old family names of Boolman, Troxel and Rench, though in what way we are related to the Rench family does not appear on any of our records. Our mother was related (through whether through the Boolmans or Troxels does not appear) to the Hagers, after one of whom Hagerstown, Md., was named. A family named Chamers, of Chambersburg, was also in some way connected with our ancestors.

*John and Jacob Dunn were brothers.
