"I believe Martha is the mother of my 3rd great-grandfather, Jacob Dunham (see below). The WikiTree for Martha that you manage does not show Jacob as a son. Have you seen any materials the indicate that Jacob is one of her children? Thanks in advance, RICK FERRELL"
"Jacob Dunham B:27 Apr 1779 Mansfield Depot, Tolland, Connecticut, USA D:8 Aug 1863 Catskill, Greene, New York, USA"
According to "Pioneer & Patriot Families of Bradford County PA 1800-1825 Vol. II - Clement F. Heverly - Pages 83-105 PP89-90" Samuel and Martha " had sons, Abraham, Samuel, Henry and Hezekiah."
The Dunham Genealogy by Isacc Watson Dunham also refers to children Abraham, Henry and Hezekiah and two daughters (omitting Samuel, who I am not certain existed). We are somewhat certain that the two daughters were: 1. Elizabeth who married Charles Wright at Orwell, Bradford County, PA in 1808. and 2. Mercy who married Phillip West in Orwell, Bradford County PA in 1810.
Samuel DUNHAM, husband of the Martha Ann WRIGHT who you reference, was born in Sharon, Litchfield, Connecticut. The Jacob DUNHAM who you reference is Findagrave #110405511 who seems to be the man listed at Familysearch as #LRKR-NFR. The record at Familysearch has no sources yet attached. But whoever created that record shows Jacob born at Colchester, Colchester, New London, Connecticut. You say that Jacob was born at "Mansfield Depot, Tolland, Connecticut, USA" The Martha Ann WRIGHT who you say you think was his mother, was born in what became New York State (not Connecticut), and was married to Samuel DUNHAM on 18 February 1783 at Saratoga, Saratoga County, New York. I have NO record of her being married prior to this time, not even to another man named DUNHAM.
I believe you are looking for an entirely different person.
