William Robinson Dunlap Biography
William Robinson Dunlap, son of Andrew Dunlap and Mary Polly (Robinson) Dunlap, was born December 31, 1830, in Washington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and received but meager educational advantages, starting out to make his own way in the world when he was but thirteen years of age, at which time his mother died. Following this he secured employment with Jesse Gray and S. Walters, his wages being three dollars per month, and he continued to work as a farm hand until going to Warren county, where he spent about four years in the lumber business under Joseph Hall.
In 1851 Mr. Dunlap went west to St. Louis and then Calhoun county, Illinois, and after a short stay removed to the lead mines of Michigan. During all this time he had carefully saved his earnings, and on his return home was able to purchase 130 acres of land in Derry Township, Westmoreland County, his uncle John Robinson assisting him in paying for it. This farm he sold in 1856 and bought a tract of 106 acres located in Salem township, which was underlaid with a rich vein of coal. He operated this land until 1866, when he sold it and bought a tract of 253 acres, which he divided into three parts, giving his son two of these and operating the other himself.
Mr. Dunlap continued to be engaged in farming for a number of years and carried on an extensive stock raising business, but in 1898 retired from active life and moved to Blairsville, Indiana, where he still lives. He was for some years a deacon in the old Salem Church, but at this time, with his wife, attends the Blairsville Presbyterian Church. Formerly a Whig, he later became a Republican, and for a time, while resident of Westmoreland, acted as school director.
In 1860 Mr. Dunlap was united in marriage with Nancy Jane Barr, who died February 24, 1883, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Sloan) Barr, and she was buried at old Salem Church, in Derry Township. They had the following children: John Barr, born Sept. 12, 1860, who is now a missionary in Siam; Mary Elizabeth, born Jan. 4, 1862, who married John Gilson, and resides in Derry Township; Robinson Edgar, born Dec. 19, 1863, who married Lucinda Mewherter, and resides in Ada, Hardin County, Ohio; Martha Jane, born March 7, 1866, who married William Mewherter; Charles Howard, born April 23, 1868, who married Elizabeth Kirkpatrick; Clark, born March 11, 1870; Louisa Hamilton, born March 30, 1872, who married William Latimer; Emory Eugene, born September 27, 1874, who died in 1878; Nora Grace, born 1877, who married James B. Dunlap, and resides in Derry Township; and Hubert, born March 30, 1879, who married Laura Stitt.
William R. Dunlap's second marriage was to Martha Jane Kenly, daughter of David Kenly, of Derry township, whose wife's maiden name was Piper. Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap reside at Blairsville.
