The DUNAWAY surname is in Eileen's paternal line.  The origins of the surname are as yet unknown.

Stories and history:

Ahnentafel # 23: Ellen DUNAWAY (c1863-     ). Ellen was born circa 1863 in Kentucky, according to the 1870 census of Graves County.  She married George Washington CARTER sometime before 1879, when daughter Emma was born.  Emma listed her parents names on her marriage license in 1896.  Ellen (DUNAWAY) CARTER may be the Lou Ellen CARTER in the 1880 census of Gibson County, Tennessee.

David was born September 1833 in Kentucky.  He married August 15, 1857 to Margaret Emley PRINCE.  Margaret was born circa 1835 in Kentucky.  They were enumerated in the 1870 census in Graves County, Kentucky and 1900 in Marshall County, Kentucky, where David was a farmer. They may be in the 1880 census of Gibson County, Tennessee.  They had at least 2 children.
