Biography

Cuba Dunn was an Alabamian.

Andrew Dunn was born about 1868 in Alabama to Joseph Dunn and Sarah Hart. In 1870 the Dunns lived in Bridgeport, Alabama, where Andrew's father worked as farm laborer. ^[1] By 1880 the family moved south to town of Oleander, and Andrew went to work on a farm with his father and brothers. ^[2]

In 1900, Andrew was boarding in Kyles, Alabama with his brother William who had married and started a family of his own. Both the Dunn brothers continued their work as farm laborers. ^[3]

Andrew married Margie Day on August 30th, 1903 in Carns, Alabama. They were wed by Justice of Peace A. D. Gist, and Andrew's brother, William, served as surety. ^[4]

Just four years later he married Margie's sister, Eliza, in Carns, and they rented a farm in Kyles Springs by 1910. ^{[5] [6]}

Research Notes

• Birth - Andrew was enumerated as 2 and 13 years old in the 1870 and 1880 Censuses, respectively, suggesting a birth year between 1866 and 1868. His birthdate, however, was listed as November 1875 in the 1900 Census. Andrew D. Dunn was listed as 25 years old when he married Margie Day in August 1903, suggesting a year of birth between 1877 and 1878. Four years later a 35 year-old Andrew Dunn married Margie's sister, Eliza. This record suggests a birth year of 1872.

• Marriage with Margie Day - Andrew is assumed to be the Andrew D. Dunn who married Margie Day in 1903 in Jackson County, Alabama. William D. Dunn, who served as surety, was likely Andrew's brother, but other records suggest that William's middle initial was "T."

• Marriage with Eliza Day - Andrew and Eliza's marriage license stated that he was not previously married. The 1910 Census, however, corroborates that this was his second marriage.

• Name - Andrew was listed as "Cuba A Dunn" in the 1910 Census.
