General Notes: Husband - Oliver Dunn


He was one of the earliest pioneers of Erie County, Pennsylvania. He came to America in 1797, where he articled 200 acres of land, then a wilderness, but eventually one of the most fertile sections in the county, in which the homestead erected by David Dunn stood conspicuous for its beauty.
He was the first Justice of the Peace of McKean Township, and held the office many years; he also held other principal township offices.
