DUNBAR, Thomas, British soldier, died in 1767. He became

colonel of the 48th foot, 29 April 1752, was stationed in

Nova Scotia, and joined Braddock's expedition against Fort

Duquesne. Braddock, by Washington's advice, pressed on with

1,200 chosen men on 19 June 1755, leaving Dunbar behind

with the residue of the army. After the defeat of 9 July

Dunbar destroyed his remaining artillery, burned stores and

baggage worth £100,000, pretending that it was done by

Braddock's orders, and ignominiously retreated. Dunbar was

made lieutenant governor of Gibraltar in 1756, and promoted

to lieutenant general, 18 December 1760.

1846, 26 April, St Charles Co. Mo. Mary Zumwalt, deceased

Letters of administration were filed by Robert Green on 22 Nov. 1847

heirs were:    Rachel McConnell

                     Mary Ann Kent

                     John Zumwalt

                     Catherine Kent

                     Solomon Zumwalt

                     Jonathan Zumwalt

    Heirs not named in estate were son Andrew Zumwalt  (Jax Line) who had left that month for Oregon and was probably given his share of estate before he left and therefore not mentioned. The other heir not mentioned is dau. Elizabeth Zumwalt. We know nothing about this Elizabeth other than her being mentioned by brother Solomon. Elizebeth, I suspect, died young before she reached marriageable age and that is why we can find no trace of her other than being mentioned by Solomon as child of Adam and Mary Zumwalt. Solomon in his memoirs of his father Adam Zumwalt says: He had eight children, John, Elizabeth, Andrew, Rachel, Maryan, Catharin, Jonathan and Solomon.
