The surname was at one time spelled Dunwoody. He emigrated from Londonderry, Ireland, about 1768, and settled near Elizabeth, New Jersey. He afterwards came to Pennsylvania and settled east of the mountains, but at what date is not known.

He came from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1796 or 1797, and stopped in Franklin, Venango County, for a short time, then moved to Sandy creek, and settled on Big Sandy near where John Dewoody was residing in 1890.
