DUNN
Hugh Dunn had a grant before 1663 and had built a house near Lamprey River. Soon after he sold out and removed to Piscataway, N. J., with a small colony from the Pascataqua that settled there. [For descendants see N. H. Gen. Record, Vol. , I. pp. 145-150.]
Nicholas Dunn was taxed at Oyster River in 1682. He prob- ably married Elizabeth, daughter of William Roberts. He was
158
HISTORY OF DURHAM
a tailor by trade. He died before 18 Oct. 1699, when his widow, Elizabeth, conveyed to Edward Wakeham land bought of Francis Pitman. [See Roberts.] They had a son, Nicholas, and prob- ably daughter, Elizabeth, who, as a maiden, aged 39, became the second wife of James Davis, aged 41, Oct. 4, 1728, as the Rev. Hugh Adams records.
Nicholas Dunn (Nicholas) married Deborah Grindall, or Grindle, in Boston, 6 June 1710 and had children recorded there. Later he lived in Kittery, Me. Deborah Dunn, doubtless his wife, was admitted to church at Oyster River by letter from the pastor of the New North Church in Boston, 10 Jan. 1719/20. It is extremely probable that this family removed to Falmouth, now Portland, Me., and that the Dunn families of Portland, Poland, and Waterville, Me., are descended from Nicholas Dunn of Oyster River. Children, so far as known, were:
ANNA b. in Boston 26 Dec. 1713; m. March 1732, John Deering of Kittery, (2) Dea. James Milk of Portland, Me. SAMUEL b. 24 Nov. 1715 in Boston.
DEBORAH b. 13 Oct. 1716 in Boston.
DORCAS b. I Nov. 1717 in Boston.
JOSIAH bapt. at Oyster River 3 Jan. 1719/20.
The last named, Josiah, I think to be the one who married Deborah Skillings of Portland, Me., who was born about 1715. A Josiah Dunn also married in Portland Sarah Randall. Pub. 3 Jan. 1758. Samuel Dunn was pub. to Sarah Skillings 19 July 1757, and Nathaniel Dunn was pub. to Mary Dyer 7 July 1759, in Portland.
DURGIN
William Durgin, born in 1648, as a deposition shows, was at Oyster River as early as 1661 and was taxed there in 1664. He lived on the north shore of Great Bay, next west of Crommett's Creek. The name of his first wife is not known. He married (2) 25 June 1672, Katherine, widow of Thomas Footman and daughter of Francis Matthews. April 25, 1703, William Durgin was cited to court to deliver to his mother-in-law (step-mother) Katherine, certain property now in his hands belonging to his late father. The same day James Durgin was required to give to Thomas Footman certain articles that belonged to his father. June 25, 1675, William Durgin, having married the relict of Thomas Footman, petitioned court to divide the property of
159
HISTORY OF DURIIAM
said relict, so that he be paid for the support of her children under age, which was done. His widow, Katherine, was appointed administratrix on his estate, 30 Nov. 1703. Two sons by first marriage and one by second are known:
2. WILLIAM b. abt. 1670; m. Elizabeth Pinder.
3. JAMES In. 1697, Widow Susanna Davis.
4. FRANCIS m. (1) Sarah Marston, (2) Widow Elinor Satchel.
2. William Durgin (William) married Elizabeth, daughter of John Pinder. She died in childbirth, 24 Oct. 1721. He is said to have had nine children. Nathan and Silas are here given on the authority of Mrs. Zebulon Durgin of Durham, in a state- ment made over sixty years ago. March 14, 1742/3, John Durgin, Joseph Durgin, Benjamin Durgin, Joshua Durgin and Elizabeth Durgin, spinster, of Durham, sold to Josiah Durgin all their right in the homestead of their father, William Durgin, of Durham. [N. H. Prov. Deeds, XXXIV, 319.] William Durgin, aged about 63, deposed, 22 Feb. 1734, that about 45 years ago he "lived with his Uncle William Follett" and worked in his employ. [Court Files, 23424.]

He was born about 1678, as a deposition says, and died 9 June 1735, aged 60, as family records say. He lived and died in New- market. June 17, 1766, Francis Durgin and William Durgin confirm to John Turner the sale of 32 acres in Epping, part of the estate of their father, Francis Durgin, of Newmarket, de- ceased.
