Marilyn, Evidently Justice left the two oldest children with his previous in laws and took Elizabeth with him to Iowa. She is living with Robert and Mary Ferguson, but they were his new in laws and lived nearby.
He had James in 1846 and Elizabeth was born in 1843 so there is a gap of at least 2 1/2 years or so between marriages.
Mary's parents are Robert and Mary Ferguson. Her maiden name is unknown. I have not tried to find them before Iowa. Robert was a carpenter as was Justice so maybe they worked together.
Did you ever find anything on what happened to Almeda? I was able to track her so if you need that info. just let me know.
By the way, I got some of the dates of the early Dunham's from their tombstones. I did a family tree for a Dunham decendent who is a cousin and she in turn took a round trip to see all of the areas and gravesyards where the Dunham's were. She took pictures and I recieved copies and was able to decipher some of the oldest dates in this way.
