This profile is connected to the wrong parents. John Dunn and Ann Hickson’s children were all born in England. These are christening records but none for Hugh. They were never in New Jersey. John and Ann were married 22 Aug 1648.

It was extremely rare for people born in the 1600's to have middle names. Is there some record or source that provides evidence for his middle initial?

Dunn-4647 and Dunn-139 appear to represent the same person because: Birth info needs to be resolved, but parents, wife, kids, and death info are all consistent.

Profile gives conflicting birth information: 1642 in Ireland vs 1648 in New Jersey. Which is correct? Thank you.
