General Notes: Husband - John Meredith Taylor Dunn

---

He insisted on taking his father's place when the militia was called out in the War of 1812. He was a great reader, and interested in having good schools. Through him his district was the first in that part of the country to introduce the study of Philosophy and Physiology. He was also a strong temperance man, and drew up and circulated the first pledge in the county. He raised the first building that was raised anywhere in the vicinity without whiskey, but it took the second lot of men to start it. The building was raised the second day without accident or quarrel, while at the next raising two men fought and another man had his leg broken. After this the next one adopted Mr. Dunn's plan and had no trouble, so that ended whiskey for such occasions. He was a farmer; a Republican, and a United Presbyterian.
