J. Robert and David Dunlap were born in Ireland, but came to America with their parents when they were small boys, and settled in North Carolina. Robert was born February 26, 1763, and at the age of twenty-five he was married to Elizabeth Wile, of North Carolina, by whom he had John, David M., Robert, Thomas, Eliza, and Elizabeth S. In 1801 he removed to Bath county, Kentucky, and in 1821 he and his brother David removed to Missouri and settled in Callaway county. In 1825 they settled where Fulton now stands, and Robert Dunlap gave the name to the town, which for a number of years was called Bob Fulton on his account. He died in 1848, his wife having died in 1834. John Dunlap married Elizabeth Gudgell, and they had two children, Robert and Jane. The former was killed in the Florida war, and the latter married Milton V. Davis, of Callaway county. David M., son of Robert Dunlap, Sr., married Polly Gudgell, of Kentucky, by whom he had Elizabeth, Andrew, Thomas, Jane, Robert A., James and Mary. Robert and Eliza, children of Robert Dunlap, Sr., died in childhood, and Thomas died when he was twenty- three years of age. James married Sally S. Crump, of Missouri. Elizabeth married Solomon Craighead. David, brother of Robert Dunlap, Sr., taught the first school in Fulton. He had but one leg, and supplied the place of the lost member with an old-fashioned wooden peg-leg. He married and had one daughter, and died of cholera, at Portland, in 1840. The citizens of the place had such a dread of the disease that they buried him as soon as he was dead, in the dress he had on at the time. It was ascertained soon after- ward that he had $2,800 in a pocket in his undershirt, and two or three of the boldest citizens ventured to take the body up and get the money.

Robert M. and Isaiah Craighead. were brothers, and they had a nephew named John, who was the son of their brother John, of Virginia. Robert M. married Nancy Powell, and they had William, Solomon, Robert, Jr., Jonathan, Stephen, Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah and Nancy. They settled in Callaway county in 1819. Isaiah mar- ried Feminine Robinson, and settled in Callaway county in 1830. His children were John R., George, James, Isaiah W., William A. B., Jane and Nancy. John R. married Sarah Hall; and they had Isaiah 0., John W., Mark A., James, Patrick H., Caroline and Lucy J. John Craighead, the nephew of Robert and Isaiah, married Julia Smith, and settled in Callaway county, Fulton township, in 1828.
