Julia Dunn was born sept 1886 and had a twin sister, Roxie Viola Dunn.Julia married John Frederick Price oct 17, 1906.She died Jan 7, 1919 and is buried in Smyers Cemetary in Perryville, Perry county, AR.There was an older sister Lula Etta b. Oct 23, 1878 and a brother Charles W. Dunn (he was called Tommy).Their parents were William Wylie Dunn b. 1854 Alabama and Mary Elizabeth Cooper bo 1859 ala.The married ?William Wylie died Oct 23, 1888 and is buried at Carter Cemetary in Faulker County Ark next to his father William Lewis Dunn.Mary Elizabeth Dunn remarried July 27, 1889 to John Kilmer and had another child.She died Dec 8 1893 and is buried I think in Carter Cemetary also, only have family lore.I have a 96 year old cousin that told me where William Lewis Dunn (his grandfather) was buried and said that William Lewis's oldest son was buried there and there was a third grave, but not sure whose it was. After Mary Elizabeth died , their oldest daughter Lula Etta Dunn married Nicholas Franklin Saylors June 3, 1894 and I was told she took the twin girls to live with her, they would have been 8 years old.Charles (Tommy) was about 15 and was farmed out literally as a farm hand.
William Wylie Dunn's father was william Lewis Dunn b. 1828 died Oct 6, 1895 and is buried in Carter Cemetary in Faulkner county AR and we have put up a headstone for him.I do not know his mother as I found William L. Dunn in Jefferson county, AL in 1850 unmarried and in 1860 he is in Marshall county, AL with 3 children and no wife and married Nov 1860 to Arrilla Angeline Jennings (West), a widow with 5 childen and they left for arkansas sometime before 1870 because they are in Prentiss county MS on 1870 census and their last child was born in MISS 1871.On 1880 census they are in Faulkner county, AR.I have lots of info on this family.I used to correspond with Mildred Beasley in Calif who was a daughter of John Fredrick and Julia Dunn Price.Please let me know if I can fill in any of your blanks. Mr GGrandfather was the first child of William Lewis and Arrilla Jennings and is a half brother to William Wylie Dunn. Jo Dunn Sheppard
