Background
This is a study dedicated to studying the origins and distribution of the Lunn family and it's descendants. The earliest known Lunns in our family group migrated from North Carolina to Tennessee. Before that, we do not know their origins.
These are:
- William Lunn, (b. 1802) who married Esther Graham
- John Lunn, (b. 1798) who married Eleanor Graham
- Eli Lunn, (born 1806) who married Elizabeth Glasscock (a daughter of Elizabeth Graham)
We believe these 3 are brothers, sons of John Lunn of North Carolina. There are some issues with the children of these men. There is a John A. Lunn we cannot figure out. Hopefully by putting it all together here, we will be able to work through it.
The curious case of John A. Lunn
There are 3 men named John A Lunn in Middle Tennessee, at the same time.
- John A. Lunn (5 Jan 1838 to 14 Nov 1926): married 1862 to Mary E. White (1843-?)
- John A. Lunn (Jan 1842 to 14 Nov 1926); married 1880 to Callie Sparkman (1858-1919)
- John A. Lunn (24 Aug 1842 to 27 Sep 1882); married 26 Dec 1860 to Mary A.M. Bradley (1846-1917) (All census records in Williamson County for this couple, and for them as children) - this John was son of William Lunn - birthdates match, as do locations and census records - I am confident this was son of William.
Theory
Binkley-335 20:31, 14 September 2016 (EDT) I think John A Lunn-182 and John A Lunn-448 are the same person. Look at the dates. Too similar! And the death dates are the same. That can't be a coincidence. Perhaps he was married to Mary White first, then to Callie Sparkman? The 1890 census is gone, so we can't see where he was from 1880-1900. That's a BIG gap.
Evidence
Lunn-182
Lunn-182 - This John A Lunn married Mary White in 1862, Marshall County. There are census records for 1870 and 1880 (shown below) then there are no records of him at all until the 1920 census when he shows up as living with his daughter Martha and her family.
