Robert Dunham, IV

Notes:

THOMAS being imbued with religious instructions of his mother, was
inclined to side with the Reformers. In Scrooby the power of the
Reformers was powerful. Puritans, who were compelled to act
secretly, gained constantly in power. Thomas was compelled to remove
to London where his son Robert was born 1605. Even in London,
persecution was followed up as late as 1635. Thomas died in London.
Robert was transported to Virginia, where he may have died as there
appears to be no record of his descendants in the colony.
