G D DUNN Photography

Kathleen Fehrman Mon Sep 8 19:50:27 2008
I am trying to find out when G. D. DUNN was in business in Canastota as a photographer. I am trying to date some cabinet cards that were done by him in an effort to put names to them. I have searched the census and cannot find a reference to him at all, which leads me to believe that he may have only been in business for a short time (between censuses) Thanks for any information you can give me.

Charles Newton BROWN was born 13 April 1855 in Brookfield, Madison, NY. (Believed to be the son of Robert William BROWN 1829-1925 and Mary Amelia TOWER 1832-?). I am seeking the marriage record for Charles Newton BROWN to his wife named in census records as "Nellie" (possibly born Sept 1856/1857 - New York, per census records). I need Nellie's maiden name. If anyone has access to marriage records, I would greatly appeciate it. The son of this union, Irving Henry BROWN was born 29 October 1888 in Madison, Wisconsin and went on to become a Gyspy Scholar and Lorist and published several books before his untimely death in 1940. I am researching his lineage as part of a college paper on his scholarly works among the Gypsy-American populations.
