    "Biographical Appendix to the History of Robertson County"
    John H. Dunn was born July 7, 1832, in Robertson County, being one of SEVEN children born to the marriage of Azariah Dunn and Mary Crawford. The father was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was born in Robertson County, on Christmas day, 1805. He never knew a mother's care, as she died when he was but eleven days old. He followed the life of a trader when in his young manhood, but afterward commenced farming, which he continued all his life. He was summoned by death's inevitable call October 26, 1867. The mother of our subject is also of Scotch-Irish descent. She was born in Rockingham County, N. C., January 16, 1811, and at the age of nine years was brought to this county where she now lives, at the ripe old age of seventy-five, although she is hale and strong and enjoying good health. In 1852 John H. began farming on rented land, and in 1854 he bought 100 acres where he now lives and is engaged in the pursuit of farming. He has been justly successful, and now owns 1,800 acres of land. He has been one of the most successful farmers of Robertson County, and has the good will and respect of all who know him. He is a member of the Democratic party and of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

    Dunn, Louisa. Born December 8, 1854 on Crooked Creek, female, white, alive. Daughter of Azariah Dunn and Delila Dunn of Crooked Creek.

    Azariah married Mary CRAWFORD on 16 Oct 1831 in , Robertson, Tennessee, USA. Mary (daughter of Charles Henry CRAWFORD and Lucy Margaret MCNEIL) was born on 9 Jan 1811 in , Iredell, North Carolina, USA; died on 23 Apr 1897 in Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee, USA; was buried in Apr 1897 in Springfield, Robertson, Tennessee, USA.

    Notes:

    From "It's All Relative"
    "When Azariah died in 1866 he left his farm to his wife for her lifetime and then to their children. On 2 Jan 1898 Nancy A. Sharp and John H. Dunn brought suit against their surviving siblings, James F Dunn, Robertson Co, Tennessee; Martha Robinson of Paducah, Kentucky; Maranda Corbin and husband Wade of Robertson Co; Simm York, husband of late Lucy Dunn and Lucy's children: Mrs Fannie Jenkins (widow), Mollie Boraham and husband William; Lewis York; Annie York; and Lelia Fly and husband James S.
    "Also included in the lawsuit was William Dunn who was thought to have purchased James' interest. There was apparently dissatisfaction among the children concerning the money used to purchase a house in Nashville by Mary Dunn. The suit states that Mary Dunn kept farming after the death of Azariah and accumulated some $1200 with which she purchased the house. She kept the house several years and when she sold it she used the money for her support, invested some of it. Before her death she apparently had given Nancy some $500 cash. Nancy and John H. argued that the money was Mary's and she had the right to dispose of it as she saw fit and that the farm should be sold and the money be divided between all, less the amounts they had received before their father's death. The farm was sold at public auction on 28 April 1898 for $500, on notes of one and two years. The court had not gotten it's money in early 1900. It would appear that none of the children received much from the settlement."
