The Dunaways of Virginia

"This is an account of an old Virginia family, the descendants of Derby Dunaway (died 1729) of Lancaster County in the Northern Neck of Virginia, a family which has produced eminent clergymen, scholars and industrialists. ... Derby Dunaway first appears with a wife Mary in St. Mary's County, Maryland, across the Potomac River opposite Northumberland County. On 9 April 1674 ... [he] proved his right to 50 acres of land for his service performed in this province ... [after 1680] he disappears from the Maryland records, apparently, he moved to Lancasster County, Virginia." --P. 1. Descendants lived in Virginia, West Virginia and elsewhere.
