Dunaway-1030 and Dunnaway-34 appear to represent the same person because: Her father was using Dunnaway for 1830 census so I think she was born as Dunnaway. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XHPZ-KV3 same find a grave on both profiles. exact same spouse on both profiles. mother in process of merge.
