Vincent Dunn, a farmer living in Grayson Co., Ky. was born 4 June 1811. He and his wife, Elizabeth, had 5 children. The eldest, Lewis, age 22, joined the 3rd Kentucky Cavalry Regiment (USA) as a 2nd Lt. in October, 1861. He served throughout the war and saw action in several battles, particularly the Battles of Perryville and Stones River. He probably died within a year after the war ended. Their younger son, James, possibly joined the same regiment and died most likely of measles in January, 1862. Vincent died 16 June, 1893, at the age of 82. He and his wife had several relatives living in Missouri, Illinois and central Kentucky. Several members of this extended family kept in touch frequently over the years through correspondence.
