Land Records
- 9 Nov 1790 - William Dunn bought 211 acres of land in the Rich Valley of Washington County from Moses Keewood and his wife. The land abutted James Logan and crossed a creek feeding the north fork of the Holston River. [Note: years later two of William's daughters would marry sons of James Logan].
Will of William Dunn
- William Dunn wrote his will on Jan 14th, 1819. He left his "beloved wife Lydia" her lawful third of his real and personal estate. He left the land on which he lived for the benefit of his children Elizabeth Logan, Rebecca Dunn, Polly Dunn, Jane Dunn, Samuel Dunn and Lydia Dunn. He requested that his sons John and William remain on the land to care for their mother and sisters, but instead of leaving them a share of the plantation he deeded them a tract of land in Kentucky. William also owned at least nine Negroes whom he divided among his children. John Dunn, his son, and William S. Logan, his son-in-law, were named executors
