Biography
William Y. Dulin was born ca. 1804, the son of John Dulin.[1]
He lived in Fairfax county, Virginia.[2][3]
During the Civil War William was involved in an incident which caused him to be taken into custody by the Union forces and jailed in Washington, D.C.[4]
Abraham Lincoln wrote a pass for Dulin to return to his home in Fairfax:
"Pass for William Y. Dulin
Allow this gentleman to pass to Fairfax Co. Virginia.
Dec. 16, 1864 A. LINCOLN"[5]
William donated land in 1867 for a church to be built in Falls Church:
"Dulin [United Methodist Church] is now located on a site given in 1867, by Mr. William Y. Dulin. Following the suspension of services at Fairfax Chapel and the end of the Civil War, the first sanctuary was built at 513 E. Broad Street in 1869. Since that time the church has undergone three major additions and changed its name to Dulin United Methodist Church."[6]
William is found with his brother Dr. Alexander Dulin, in Baltimore, Maryland, on the 1870 census.
He passed away before 1880.[7]
