Notes:

Linda says, “There is a wealth of information that has been gathered about both Joshua and Lydia's (Odell) families. Joshua's father was Sampson Dunbar, and there is a Yahoo group devoted to researching him and his descendants. Sampson was born in 1721 in Massachussetts, was at least half African, along with Indian, served in the Revolutionary War, as did his son Joshua (and I think Noah may have, also). Lydia, also, had African blood, and there is a book, "The Hanging of Ephraim Wheeler" that contains much information on early Dunbars and Odells.”

Joshua married Lydia ODELL. Lydia was born in 1764 in Massachusetts; died in 1848 in New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
