(Pampy) Huse Dunn is mentioned in list of Perry Dunn's children, written in 1986 by his cousin Esther (Headrick) Pritchett, who was A.L.B. (Dunn) Headrick's daughter. The other children of Perry and Nancy are Liz, Martha Noblett, Rhoda, Levi, and Susan Green. She further identified Huse (Pampy) as the father of Cleo Dunn, and went on to mention Cleo's children.
My own note: Cleo Patra Dunn, daughter of "Huse" Dunn (also called "Pampy" by Esther), married Andy Caylor. After he died, she married Esther's brother, Samuel Wesley "Wes" Headrick.

W.H. Dunn is listed in a deed of the J.P. Dunn land (where A.L.B. Headrick, M.E. Noblett, S.A. Green, and L.P. Dunn are also listed). (Murray Co., Georgia, Deed Book X, page 579. Deeded 11 October 1905 to W.H. Dunn. Recorded 28 Dec. 1908).

The obituary helps identify which W.H. Dunn this is. Notice that the names of his siblings are the same names mentioned in the deed, above, and in Granny's list of Perry and Nancy's children.Obituary of W.H. Dunn:
