Descendant of Abner Dunagan (1773-1852), Ezekiel's brother.



 
This is Tyler Dunagan and his wife Jessica Price Dunagan, who are direct descendants of Abner Dunagan (1773-1852), who was a brother to my 4th great grandfather Ezekiel Dunagan of Hall County, GA. Their father was the Rev. Joseph Dunagan (1740-1808) of Orange County, NC/Pendleton, SC. Tyler and his family live in San Diego, CA, where he serves with the U. S. Marine Corps. I met them on Facebook.

Abner is Tyler's 5th great grandfather and was married to Delila Gordon. They ended up in Habersham County, GA, where they had a son named Ira.

Ira married a girl named Elizabeth ? and later moved his family to Jasper, GA, in Pickens County. Civil War Tragedy in Pickens County GA

They had a son named Abner Dunagan, Jr. (1828-1882) who was married to Lucinda Swafford. Their son, Andrew Jackson "Jack" Dunagan (1856-1933) married Martha Rich.

They had a son born in Georgia named John Andrew Dungan in 1885 and died in Jasper, AL in 1960. He married Feribea Ellender "Emma" Uptain (1886-1952) This is Tyler's great grandparents.

They had a son, John Marvin Dunagan b. 1922, Tyler's grandfather. Marvin, as he was called, was killed in 1962 when a farm tractor he was on tipped over. His wife was Vera Tyery Dunagan(1925-1994)  Their son Anthony Theo Dunagan is Tyler's father. Is it just me or does Tyler look a lot like his grandfather John "Marvin" Dunagan.
