  • Notes 
    • Robert Commander Dunnam, Sr., the son of Robert Dunnam and Susan Burn(e) migrated through Georgia, with his wife Mary ann (Davis) where he settled in Baldwin District, Mississippi Territory, with his family. He probably made more than one trip from South Carolina to Baldwin County, for there are several land transactions in which he sold his property in Marion District, South Carolina.

      His son, Robert Commander Dunnam, Jr., married Sarah Lewis March 22, 1910, in Randolph County, Georgia. He came on to Baldwin County, Mississippi Territory (now Baldwin County, AL.). Then to Monroe and Wilcox County, Alabama.

      Along with Robert Commander Dunnam, Jr., came Rev. John Jenkins and Rev. James Jenkins. They married two of his sisters. Also some of the Lewises, related to Sarah Lewis, came and all settled in Wilcox County, Alabama, many are buried in the Jenkins Family Cemetery near Oak Hill, Wilcox County, Alabama.

      In Baldwin County, Robert Commander Dunnam, Sr. wrote his will in which he lists all his children and names his "Trusty Friend", Samuel Ervin, as one of his Executors, along with his wife Ann; son, Robert Commander Dunnam, Jr.; and William Godfrey.

      Some of Robert Commander Dunnam, Sr. children settled in Monroe County, Alabama. Others migrated to Shelby County, and one to Tippah County, Mississippi, and on to Texas. Some, however, settled in Wilcox County, and their descendants remain in the area to this day.
