- !NOTES:Marty Grant's 6th Great Grand Uncle, by marriage;
!NOTES:I haven't yet seen any direct proof that Simeon/Simon Dunn was the husband of widow Phoebe Dunn, but it seems likely;
!NOTES:No Deeds for Simeon or Phoebe (or any) Dunn in Buncombe County;
!NOTES:Gary Carson noted that there was a Simon / Simeon Dunn in Guilford Co., NC ca 1780 who was a neighbor of his ancestor Robert Carson (father of David Carson). A Nicholas Dunn was also a neighbor. This may very well be the same person, but certain evidence suggests not.
That one "Simon Dunn" married Nancy Paul on 3 Oct 1772 in Guilford. If same man, then he married Phoebe Patterson later on.
The Simon/Simeon of Guilford was one of the "regulators" and died 10 Jun 1823 aged 73 years in Lincoln Co., NC, buried at Long Creek Memorial Baptist Church.
That puts him born ca 1750.
That Simon Dunn married Mary Biggers Wedington in 1795. That seems to preclude him from being our Simeon Dunn.
