    Notes:

    Born in Pennsylvania and shown as that on the 1850 Stark Co. Ill. Census
    for William Dunbar. Also 0n the 1880 Henry Co. Census for his son
    Washington Dunbar ,it shows his father born in Pa.

    Married Sarah Prather in Washington Co. Kentucky on 12-26-1807 by the same
    justice of peace who married Abraham Lincoln's parents in the same year
    Washington Co. Archives Bk 1-80.

    Bought 147 acres in Breckenridge Co. from Edmund and Polly Taylor on
    10-10-1825 who had purchaced a tract from Robert Rawling 3-22-1823.
    Breckenridge Co. Archives G-242

    According to his son Washington's death certificate they were in Tazwell
    County llinois by 1832 from Breckinridge County Kentucky.

    This is further supported by a puchace of land by William Dunbar in
    Tazwell Co. on 04-18-1831.

    1834 Moved to Knox Co. Ill. from Tazwell Co. Illinois.

    Founded the town Lafayette Illinois named after one of his sons LaFayette
    pronounced "Layfayette" no connection to the french it is believed he had
    seven children The Dunbar Farm was purchaced from Michael Fraker now
    located in Stark Co. SW 1/4 of section 18 in Goshen Twp. The Walnet Grove
    on the property is known as Frakers Grove. He Gave his land to his son
    LaFayette and went with the gold seekers to California in the 1849 Gold
    rush. One article says 13 children I have 14 there may have only been one
    William not William P or William C. William was a hatter.

    Isaac Pulhamous went back to Illinois in 1858 to get his children and to
    care for Sarah Prather Dunbar.

    Sarah died shortly after arriving in Kansas without William Dunbar. She is
    buried at the Twin Springs Cemetery at Scott Twp, Linn, Kansas.

    I assume William went off to California to the gold rush before 1858 since
    there is no mention of him in Isaac's obituary. He probably died en route
    or in California.

    William,s son LaFayette was the first Dunbar land owner in Twin Springs,
    Scott Twp, Linn County, Kansas in 1857. LaFayette declared 2 acres of his
    land to be a Public Buring Ground Forever and deeded the land to the
    county. William probably left Kansas at that time for California.

    William married Sarah Prather 26 Dec 1807, Washington Co. Kentucky. Sarah (daughter of William Prather and Roseanne Adkisson, Rosy) was born Abt 1790, of, Hardinsburg, Breckenridge, Ky; died Bef 1860, Twin Springs, Linn, Ks; was buried , Twin Springs Cemetary Linn Co. Scott Twp. [Group Sheet]
