On the 1900 South River, Rockbridge Co., Virginia census, I found farmer Ora? (sic) B Dunlop, 45, born Apr 1855; wife of 17 years Kate R, 39, May 1861, had 6 kids, all living; daughers or sons: Henrietta, 15, Jul 1884; Lula S, 13, Aug 1886; Charlie W, 11, ? 1888; Mary C, 11, Nov 1888; Walter M, 8, Jul 1891 and Jennie M, 8, July 1881, all born in Virginia (sic).


Miss Henrietta Campbell Dunlap graduated from the State Normal School at Farmville, per the Lexington Gazette dated 7 Feb 1906.


On the 1910 Lexington, Rockbridge Co., Virginia census. I found farmer Oklela B Dunlap, 54; wife of 27 years Kate R, 47, had 6 kids, all living; daughters of sons: HENRIETTA C, 25; Lula S, 23; Charlie W R, 21; Mary K. 21; Walter M, 18 and Jennie M, 18, all Virginia born.


On the 1920 Lexington, Rockbridge Co., Virginia census, I found cemetery sexton Okela B Dunlap, 64; wife Kate M, 56; daughters or son: teacher HENRIETTA C, 35; legal stenographer Lorda S, 33; hardware store salesman Charles W, 31 and Jennie M, 29. Kate was born in Arkansas and the rest in Virginia.


On the 1930 Lexington, Rockbridge Co., Virginia census, I found Charlie W M Dunlap, 41; sisters: teacher Henrietta C, 45; Lula S, 43; Jennie M Dunlap, 38, plus nephew, Osbourne D. Heard, 4, all Virginia born.


In 1937-1938, Henrietta C Dunlap shared a paper she compiled for the Ignorance Club, titled The Shanees, Cornstalk and the Kerrs Creek Massacre. It appeared again in the Rockbridge Epilogues, #6, Winter 2017. It sourced The Annals of Augusta Co., The WInning of the West by Roosevelt and the 8 Sep 1930 Covington Virginian. She also quoted for, Rev. Dr. Samuel Brown's (1766-1818) article in the undated Rockbridge Citizen paper. "The old McKee burying ground near the Big Spring was begun when those killed in the 1st massacre were buried. The big tree in the corner has been pointed out as the place where those who suffered were laid to rest." Henrietta was related to the Dunlaps, McKees and Logans buried at the Big Spring.


"Henrietta Campbell Dunlap (1884 - ).* She was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, July 12, 1884. Occupation: retired school teacher. Church: Presbyterian. Schooling: Longwood College, Farmville, Virginia. Residence: 24 Edmondson Avenue, Lexington, Virginia. The following is a lovely tribute to "Miss Nettie" which was given at the Commencement Exercises of Ruffner School, Lexington, Virginia, June 3, 1954: "For forty-eight years boys and girls in Lexington have looked up to 'Miss Nettie'. No other person in this town has had such a deep influence upon so many people. Her pupils have learned far more in her classroom than can be found in history books or grammars. They have learned good manners and the spirit of citizenship. They have gotten a broader vision of their world. They have been shown what fair play and helpfulness mean. Through all these, in no secretarian fashion, they have been led to see the reverence for God and respect for other people are the crowning elements of a true education. Some of this they have gotten through the formal lessons she has taught them; but the best of it has come from the contagion of a strong and sweet and loving personality. All who come in contact with her have felt the warmth of her affection; but the boys and girls who have had most need of help have known her as a wise and patient friend. Through the years hundreds of them will rise up and call her blessed." The House of Dunlap, by Rev. James Arthur MacClannahan Hanna, 1956, Ann Arbor, MI., p 75. This source is UNDOCUMENTED. Page 59 lists Henrietta's ancestors that I/we can not verify and says the genea data for this branch was sent to the author by thoses listed 1954-1955. Henrietta and many others in her and other lines, sponsored this book to publish their data, p 397.
