Research Notes

Most people consider it VERY unlikely that this person was the actual wife of Jeremiah Dungan (Dungan-66) and the mother of his children. His wife was more likely a Hendricks or Hendrix, though which one is completely unknown. Apparently no reliable primary sources connect them.

There is good proof that Deborah Borden was unmarried when her father Benjamin made his will in 1742. Thus it is not possible that she was grandmother of Margaret Dungan, b 1755, who married James Pierce. The will of George Hendry in 1782 provided for 100 acres in Frederick Co. VA "whereupon Jeremiah Dunkin now lives". Jeremiah Dungan had been living in Washington Co. TN for at least 4 years at that time (per his oath of allegiance there in 1778.). This information from Pauline Pierce in 1999.

Rebecca (Hendry) Dungan is a part of US Black heritage.

Rebecca was born in 1754. She passed away after 1835.
