Biography

Richard Dunham was born about 1565 in the south part of England. He passed away about 1624.

Some of the published information on Richard Dunham and his son John Dunham has error. This family is not descended from the landed gentry family with the same name. Richard Dunham's will mentions his son John. John is to receive a legacy when he returns. John was living as an exiled religious dissident at Leiden at the time and later removed to the Pilgrim Colony at Plymouth, which is now in the United States.^[1]

Editing Comments:

Removed Elizabeth Wentworth and Ralph Dunham as parents of Richard Dunham.^[2]

Because these inaccurate parents keep getting reattached, we have project-protected this profile.

Removed Janet Bromily as wife - She seems to be the wife of Thomas Dunham. ^[3]
