Recollections from Jean Yochem Mayer 5/1998:
Clinton was one of my dads buddies when they were young and used to go places on their motorcycles. Clinton married and had one son, Bill who I think is still alive and could live up in Altadena or somewhere up in the LA foothills. He used to work for the telephone company. Bill�s mother died and then Clint married Maude who
was a nurse he met while in the hospital at one time.

"The probate record of Richard Dunham, the elder, poulter of Langford, some seven miles from Clophill, provides significant support for the conclusion that this is the correct family and that Richard Dunham was Deacon John Dunham's father. In his will, dated 5 October 1624, Richard Dunham left his body "to be buryed in such a place as my Executores shall thinke convient." He mentioned son William, son William's son Richard, son John ("my best shirte and Twenty shillings i mony to be payd him at his retorne"), daughter Anne and her son Richard; daughter Elisabeth; residue to son Richard, who was to be executor, granddaughter Ellen Underwood "my Cubbord that standeth in the Chamber." "Father Dunham, an old man" was buried at Langford on 19 November 1624, the only entry for that surname in the published parish register. The shirt and money to be paid to John Dunham "at his retorne" shows that the testator's son was away from home; the phrase probably means no more than that John would receive his legacy if he were to return, not that he was expected to do so. At the time, the immigrant was in Leyden."
