Life

George Washington Dunson was born on 25 May 1810, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives the date without a source and the place as "Indian Lands, Lee, Georgia."1 On 27 November 1834, in Meriwether County, Georgia, he married Elizabeth C. Owens, a daughter of John N. Owens.2 The census of 1840 lists his household in District 697 of Troup County, Georgia.3 The family had moved to Alabama by 1854: in that year and in 1857 and 1858 he is named as the parent in the Alabama marriage records of three daughters, Arianna M. Dunson to Madison Gunn (indexed under 30 January and 2 February 1854), Lucy Dunson to Rufus Phillips (19 November 1857, the father indexed as "W. Dunson") and Louisa S. Dunson to John C. Holman (23 or 28 May 1858).4 The census of 1860 lists George W. Dunson's household, with his wife Elizabeth, in the Northern Division of Chambers County, Alabama.5 The tree also attaches index entries from Ancestry for Alabama Civil War muster rolls, federal land patents and General Land Office records, the records of the sale of public land; these have not been examined, and what they say of him is not yet known.6 He died near Milltown, Chambers County, on 19 November 1866.7 His widow died at Milltown in June 1868.8
