Rebecca Dunn

Rebecca (Moore) Dunn, a native of Augusta, Ga., where she married Dr. Charles A. Dunn, and where her husband died, moved to Cincinnati, O., in 1831 with her family, and five years later, in September, 1836, settled in West Jersey township of this county, where her son, Augustus A., had built a cabin early that year, and where he remained to welcome his mother, brothers and sisters to their new home in the wilderness. Mrs. Dunn was accompanied by her children: Columbia A., who married Mr. Tillson; Richard C, noticed in the history of Toulon; William E. and Caroline E., who married O. H. Smith. In 1847 this pioneer woman moved to Galesburg, and died there, May 10, that year.
