Seven of James and Sibby's nine children were born in North Carolina; the other two in Dickson County, Tennessee. Based on this, the family probably moved from North Carolina to Tennessee in 1811 or 1812.
Apparently, this is the first Dunagan family to move to Tennessee.
There is a possibility that James Dunagan, Sr. was born in Virginia or Pennsylvania.
Based on will of September 30, 1818 and dated October, 1818.
The will reads..."to my oldest son John Dunnegan---to my son William---to my three younger sons Charles, James and Andrew---land to be divided among them when the youngest reaches the age of 21. I appoint my son Charles to have care of said premises and to support his younger brothers and sisters, Elizabeth, Ailsey, Matilda and Susannah during their infancy or single life."
