Most notes on any Dunns in this file will have come from Dr. Diana Dunn, although some of the original work was done by Carlee West of Ripley, TN and John B. Rochelle of Gray, TN.  Dr. Dunn has compiled both of these reseachers' materials and added original research of her own, and maintains the composite file for the Johnson Co TN Dunn family. (jbr).
