THE JAMES C DUNN FM\lLY BIBLEPart 4 of 5 Parts

Miscellaneous entries about John, James' Brother, and others

by Earl Dunn

There are two entries in the James Dunn Family Bible about his youngerbrother John, the first on page 793 of the Old Testament at the end of theHistorical Index which appears to be in James handwriting:

This is a Record of John Dunn's Death 1864 [year crossed out, illegible]

Who was killed in the Third Vermont Regiment

Com. B on the 5 Thursday tH'-tffl friday or Saturday.

He was killed

This entry is corroborated by the Revised Roster of VT. Volunteers in theWar of Rebellion, Adj. Gen. Office, Montpelier 1892, R973.7443 A2 P:

NAME: John Dunn

RESIDENCE: Substitute

DATE OF ENDST: Aug. 10, 1863

REMARKS: Substitute for Edward Atherton, ESSEX.

Killed in Action May 5, 1864. [Thursday]

(Wonder if that Edward Athenon ever knew that the person who took hisplace was killed?] It was not an uncommon practice for a person tosubstitute for somebody who had been drafted. The substitute was Raid a'bounty', the Muster and Descriptive Roll of a Detachment of Drafted Menand Substitutes, of D Company, 3rd VT Regiment dated Aug 24, 1863shows that John was paid a bounty of $25. The Company Muster Roll ofOld Co. B, 3 Reg't Vermont lnf of May & June 1864 Remarks:

Killed in action May 5/64 at Wilderness, VA Bounty due $95

Within that week, the VermontBr1gade 105t 1,645 out of its 2,800 effectives. TheVermont Brigade had the highest percentage ofcasualties of any unit, both North and South,during the Civil War. A lot of this because theywould hold their position and not break and run.This bravery (perhaps mixed with some 'Vermont .Stubbornness') may have caus.ed the unit's highlosses but the Vermont Brigade was a valuabletrusted unit of the North.

From: A Guide to Virginia's Battlefields andSites

"Union troops under Gen. Philip Sheridan, freshj;'mn (J sIring of victories over .Iuhal Early's('onlederales, were camped in the vicinity ofCedar Creek and Belle Grove ahoul 15 miles.'louth of Winches' er on Oct. 19, J 864. A furiousConfederate attack early that morning forced aprecipitous withdrawal by Northern soldiers,"

A Major French of the New York unit, managed toget his men to regroup and form a defensive lineby shouting, "Don't run until the Vermonters do!"

It saved the da:•. the Vermonters and New Yorkerswere then al:-le to hold off the Southern attackuntil ..."Sherldan, after a breakneck ride from Winchester,rallied hIS troops and led a counterattack thatregained the field. The battle of Cedar C.reekended Hariy's opportunifies and resulted in aConfederate withdrmwl hack up the Valley. /I

The second entry about John in the James DunnBible is on the End Paper 1, unnumbered:(Dam-aged, Annotated]

John Dunn landed June the 10... 1852

Have not had any success to date on identifyingthe ship that John came over on. The books withindexes of passengers who came over during thegreat famine usually end with the year 185l.More research is required.

There is one more entry on that page that has notbeen addressed:

September the 20 Mother Dunn came to Stan-stead with Lawren(ce} her Son

This is scribed in what appears to be Jameshandwriting. Therefore, this would be James'mother, Mary (Higgins) Dunn and James' youngerbrother, Lawrence. Family lore has it that perhapsthese two went off and lived in Rhode Island.Another area for research. Using the Bible andother sources, the following is a tentative list ofthe Irish family that suffered the Potato Famineand emigrated to the United States:

This list definitely needs more research, if youhave any additions or corrections, please get themto Tom Dunn and I'm sure he will make itavailable to all.

Next issue: Copies of the annotated pages of theJames Dunn Family Bible.

POST SCRIPTThe tragedy of this young man's life is that hisbody was never found or returned home as ourresearch indicates.

An even greater tragedy is that to date there is nogravestone or the like to honor or memorialize thisyoung Irishman and our proud ancestor.

I am most pleased to announce that is about tochange.

Howard and Mabel Dunn of Spoffard, N.H. havegraciously given us a lot at the St Mary's Cemeteryin Newport. This lot is most fortunate as thisfamily plot contains the remains of DanlLindaWhipple Dunn, Bernice Dunn, and Ellen CroakeDunn. Very close by are Thomas/Esther ShippeeDunn, up on the hill are the graves of John Dunnand Timothy Dunn and across the road Harold!Doris Dunn rests.

Marie Wilcox has checked with the cemeterycustodian, a Mr Rivard and he sees no problemwith erecting on this lot.

Earl Dunn has given me alot of solid infonnationon availability of Veterans Administration re-sources. I am certain the memorial will befurnished by them.

We have to finance costs of the actual setting ofthe stone but I'm sure the Durul Reunion thisswnmer will address that issue.

This project represents a most exciting task formyself and others I have spoken to. I would liketo thank Howard and Mabel for their kindnesswhich is most plentiful.
