• Notes

  According to marriage records of Washington Co. Ky. Sarah Prather married William Dunbar on 12-26-1807 in Washington Co. by John Andrews. According to the Stark Co. Ill. census she was born in Virginia.. 1832 Moved from Breckenridge Kentucky to Tazwell County Illinois. In 1834 they moved to Knox Co. Ill. Sarah took care of Isaac and Lutitia Pulhamous' children after Lutitia died in 1846 at her request. Isaac went back to Illinois in 1858 to get his children and to care for Sarah. 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.
