According to "The Dunn Family of Kent County, by Christopher Johnston" , published in the Maryland Historical Magazine, 1912 (also published in Maryland Genealogies, Vol 1, p 415), Robert Dunn 1674-1729 had two wives. 1st, Mary Harris. They had 5 children, Robert, William, James, Jane, and Mary. 2nd, Mary [unknown], widow of Robert Park (or Peark). She had two daughters with Robert Park, Elizabeth and Anne; but no children with Robert Dunn.

My interpretation of a particular citation is that Robert Pearke was Mary Harris's second husband, and my reason for believing that his last name was not Park, is because the name Peark is a more reasonable Scottish name. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X1Z1-SV3 and the Pearck family resided in Cecil,MD at that very same time. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F4V7-S5Q. I might be able to locate Robert Pearck, and then I will enter him as Mary's second husband, but I will not change the name to Park.
