Married Martha Willett on 26 Dec 1870 in Carroll County, Ohio. -------- JAMES DUNLAP - About the beginning of the present century the progenitor of the Dunlap family in Ohio emigrated from Pennsylvania, making the journey overland with one horse and a wagon. He found the country a wilderness, and he often found it necessary to clear a way through the thicket, the journey lasting six weeks. He settled on a tract of land in what is now Monroe Township, Carroll County, and there surrounded by the dangers of frontier life, he and his family set to work to clear the land and build up for themselves a home, where they resided until their deaths. Among the children of Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap was a son named David, who was born in Pennsylvania, and when a lad came with his parents to Ohio. He assisted them in the early struggles in clearing the farm, and grew to maturity in the wilderness. He married Mary Ann Kail, a native of Carroll County, Ohio, whose parents were early pioneers there, and she died about 1843, leaving four children, of whom our subject is the second in order of birth. He was born in a log cabin on his father's farm in Carroll County, Ohio, Aug. 6, 1836. His mother died when he was but a small lad; his father afterward married Jane Logan, and they now are living in Carroll County. James Dunlap grew to maturity in his boyhood home, and experienced those privations that fell to the lot of pioneer boys. His clothing was all home manufacture, and with his home-made pants on he felt as proud as though dressed in broadcloth. His educational advantages consisted of a few weeks' schooling during the winter at the old school-house, with its rude furnishings, and he began life for himself as a common laborer, working on a farm for ten dollars per month. In 1859 Mr. Dunlap married Miss Mary Jane McHugh, a native of Union Township, Carroll County, and located on a farm. In the fall of 1867 Mrs. Dunlap died, leaving two children: Julia Violet (deceased at five years), and Laura B., now Mrs. John Timmerman, of Bowerston. Dec. 26, 1870, Mr. Dunlap married Miss Martha Willett, a native of Carroll County, Ohio, born Nov. 10, 1845, a daughter of James and Salinda (Newell) Willett. Her paternal grandparents, John and Martha Willett, at an early day were pioneers in Ohio from Cumberland County, Penn., and were married in Pennsylvania; her maternal grandparents, Peter and Christina Newell, came to Ohio from New Jersey about the same time. Mrs. Dunlap vividly remembers the old log school-house, where she was first taught the rudiments of an education. Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap now reside on their place adjoining Bowerston, where they have a pleasant home and enjoy a handsome competence, which is the result of their own personal efforts. Three children make glad their household, as follows William Burt, born Aug. 12, 1872; John N., born Dec. 18, 1874, and James Lewis, born Sept. 11, 1882. Mrs. Dunlap is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Bowerston; Mr. Dunlap is a Democrat in politics, is township trustee, in which capacity he served before; has also served as a member of the board of education. Mr. Dunlap has traveled quite extensively through the west, buying and selling cattle and stock of all kinds. He owns property in Jasper County, Ill., and has landed interests in the West.
