Jonathan Singletary Dunham
Jonathan Dunham (January 17, 1640 – September 6, 1724), known in his early life as Jonathan Singletary, was a prominent early American settler of Woodbridge Township, New Jersey, who built the first gristmill in New Jersey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= SINGLETARY to DUNHAM FAMILY HISTORY, STORIES and TIMELINE )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The SINGLETARY-DUNHAM HISTORY, NOTES, & RESOURCES )〕 He is U.S. President Barack Obama’s eighth great-grandfather and the first of Obama’s Dunham ancestors to be born in North America.〔
==Life==
Jonathan Singletary, later Dunham, was born on January 17, 1639/40, in Newbury, Massachusetts, the son of Richard Singletary.〔 He married Mary Bloomfield (a relative of the later New Jersey Governor Joseph Bloomfield, for whom the township of Bloomfield, New Jersey is named).〔
He and his wife migrated to Woodbridge Township, New Jersey, the first Township of New Jersey, which was chartered by King Charles II on June 1, 1669. Possibly due to an unsubstantiated family legend about his father being the heir of the family of Dunham, or because Jonathan himself was the son of an earlier marriage of Richard Singletary to a Dunham wife who had died in 1638/39, Jonathan Singletary called himself Dunham after moving to New Jersey. While all of the other sons of Richard Singletary used the Singletary surname, Jonathan adopted the name of Dunham, and all of his children retained it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=JONATHAN SINGLETARY(aka Jonathan Dunham)BIOLOGICAL MOTHER POSSIBILITIES )〕
At Woodbridge, Dunham was granted of land by the newly appointed Governor of New Jersey.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=JONATHAN SINGLETARY-DUNHAM FAMILY LINE )〕 Upon this land, he built the first grist mill in New Jersey. He later received a further grant of and also acquired many other tracts of land in New Jersey and Massachusetts.〔 After finding success with his grist mill, Dunham went into public life, serving as the Clerk of the Woodbridge Township Court and overseer of highways, and in 1673 he was elected to the New Jersey Provincial Congress.〔
