Note: "The above names (not including the initials in brackets) are the names by which the children of John and Elizabeth D. Dunn were christened, the initials `B.,' `T.' and `R.' being afterward chosen by Jacob, Elijah and John, partly to aid in distinguishing from others having similar first initials, and partly to preserve traces of the old family names of Boolman, Troxel and Rench, though in what way we are related to the Rench family dose not appear on any of our records. Our mother was related (though whether through the Boolmans or Troxels does not appear) to the Hagers, after one of whom Hagerstown, Md., was named. A family named Chambers, of Chambersburg, was also in some way connected with our ancestors."
