From the NEHG Register, vol. 74, April 1920, page 99, (in my Dunning file) (The Dunnings of Maine, by Rev. Everett Stackpole) has an excellent article on him, and has his tombstone inscription reads" Here lyeth the Body of Mr. Andrew Duning who departed this life In the 18th Anno Dom 1736 aged 72 Yrs". It also has that he came to New England in 1717, and in that year bought lots in the town of Brunswick, as the records of the Pepepscot Company declare. The following year, as it seems, his family came over with the immigrants from the north of Ireland." It also says that "It is quite clear that the Dunning family of Brunswick came over with the so-called Scotch-Irish immigrants of 1717-1718 from Londonerry, Ireland. The military enrollment of Andrew Dunning and his sons in 1723 declares that they came from Ireland. But although sometimes called Irish, they were all Scotch, who had lived for one or two generations in Ireland."

From the organization of the town in 1758 the Dunnings were always prominent people and lived next the Alexanders, Wilsons, and others. The American ancestory of the family, Andrew Dunning, with his wife Susan Bond, and five sons, came to Georgetown, Maine in 1717, from Ashburton, Devonshire, England. William the eldest son, settled in York, Maine, left two sons, Andrew and Benjamin, the former marrying Hannah Shepard of York, by whom he had twelve children; and the latter married Elizabeth Ewing daughter of Joseph Ewing of Harpswell, byu whom he had nine children. Although Andrew Dunning did not settle in Harpswell until 1758, and his brother Benjamin some years later, bother were given places of honor and trust in the new town. Andrew was elected the first town clerk, and held that office 25 years. From 1767 until his death in 1808 he was Deacon of this First. Church. Among the important offices held by Benjamin Dunning was that of an overseer of Bowdoin College for several years.
