----------------------------

(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). 

This land can be traced back to Susannah P. Dunn (she is Susannah Parman, who married Daniel Dunn).

----------------------------

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.

On the death certificate of Beulah Dunn (died 9 Aug. 1930 at age 19), the parents are listed as Huse Dunn, of Murray Co., Ga., and Sally "Rritchett," of Murray Co., Ga. (sloppy handwriting--mother's surname should be "Prichett.") The informant is Huse Dunn, of Cisco, Ga.
