This is so interesting. My dad's family is from the Rockingham area (Hamlet) and several years ago a distant cousin had (has) newspaper clippings from when at a LUKE wedding DUNAGAN's were invited . He has pictures but no names, we need to get together up there to meet. I married a Dunagan so that is how I came to the family. My condolences for your great loss.
