Notes for Deacon *Daniel DUNHAM
Deacon Daniel Dunham put into operation clothing works and an oilmill at the Old Mills near Pompey Center Rd., south of Manlius Village. His son-in-law, William Swain, carded wool at the oil mill as early as May 1809 and by 1811 had a half-share with Asahel Hawley in a carding machine in Manlius Village.

-------------------------------------------------
In the 1810 census for Manlius, Onondaga County, NY there is listed a head of household named Daniel Dunham. There is one male and one female. I don't know the marriage year of the oldest daugh., Nancy, but Since his wife, Anna doesn't die until 1815, I would guess that she would be living in his home. Phylura, next to youngest was married in 1806 to Wm. Swain, and would have been living in the home they shared together. Their youngest, Amelia, would have been living with her first husband of seven years, Robt. Wilson.

There is a notation on the Onondaga/Manlius Rootsweb page of the following for a burial in the Christ Church Cemetery in Manlius: DUNHAM, Mary, widow of Dan'l, d. 4? Mar 1838 ae 82 . I'm simply not sure where she fits in the Dunham family of Manlius.
