General Notes: Husband - Col. James Dunlop
A deed dated January 15, 1752, and of record in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, from Margaret, William and Ephraim Dunlop to their brother, James Dunlop, conveying the farm above mentioned, recites: "it being partly in consideration that he forever maintain their Mother Deborah Dunlop, wife of William Dunlop, who died intestate."
He pursued the practice of law in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and was also engaged in the manufacture of iron at what was then known as the "Dunlop Furnaces" in Path Valley, now Franklin County, until about the time that Congress passed the Act authorizing a battalion for immediate service to be raised in Cumberland county (Jan. 4, 1776), when he abandoned all pursuits and devoted his energies to raising and equipping of the regiment which was afterward known as the "6th. Pennsylvania of the Continental line," and was on the 10th day of January, 1776, commissioned its major. The history of this regiment will be found in Pennsylvania Archives under that name, and further details of its service in notes of the 2nd Pennsylvania, Col. St. Clair, in Gen. Anthony Wayne's command. On the 25th of October, 1776, Major Dunlop was promoted to lieutenant-colonel of the 10th Pennsylvania. He participated in all the numerous engagements of that year with the British under Gen. Burgoyne at "Three Rivers", "Isle Aux Noix", "Isle La Motte", "Ticonderoga", Crown Point", etc., "in which the battalion suffered severely in killed and wounded, and their exposure in the swamps without proper food or clothing," as expressed by Col. Dunlop, "rendered their condition pitiable," and is so reported by Gen. Wayne to the Committee of Safety in Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. x, page 79. On the 23rd day of January, 1777, Col. Dunlop resigned his command [see letter in Vol. I, Pennsylvania Archives, page 694] because seniority in rank was not recognized. Col. Dunlop's epaulets, sword and his discharge papers, together with the Continental money in which he was paid for his services enclosed therein, were preserved by his descendants in Bellefonte. On the 2nd of October, 1779, he was appointed lieutenant of Cumberland County, and on the 28th of October, 1784, was commissioned a Justice of the Common Pleas in Cumberland County. During all these years the family tradition recounts many hardships endured by himself and family, many narrow escapes and thrilling adventures; fleeing to the forts to avoid capture by the Indians; destruction and burning of their property, himself twice a captive; devices of escape from them, etc.
He was a resident of Hopewell township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, as early as 1751. On the 10th of January, 1776, he was appointed major of the Sixth Battalion Pennsylvania, under Col. William Irvine, and served in the campaign of that year in Canada, and Oct. 25, 1776, was promoted lieutenant-colonel of the Tenth Pennsylvania of the Continental Line, but resigned Jan. 23, 1777, because his seniority of rank was not recognized in promotions; he was appointed Oct. 2, 1779, lieutenant of Cumberland County, and Oct. 28, 1784, commissioned a justice of the Common Pleas. In 1796 he came to Bald Eagle township then, and purchased a part of the Griffith Gibbon tract, on which he and his son-in-law laid out the town of Bellefonte, Col. Dunlop erecting the first house on the lot, northeast corner of High and Spring Streets, Col. Dunlop being the first actual resident in the new town.
General Notes: Wife - Jane Boggs
She was a lady of fine education, quick perception, reliant, prompt to act in an emergency, and protected herself and small children by flight on horseback through forest pathways to places of refuge from pursuing Indians on more than one occasion. In the quiet routine of family life her loving disposition and motherly care, as well as her neat and methodical management of the household appointments, were an example for all, and her advice and sympathy sought by many, other than her family relations.
