1840 census, Greene Co MO: Shadrach and Adah are shown with 4 sons and 3 daughters. Children Freeman Eliza and Martha had married and were out of the home, and their dau Lavinia had died, to account for their eleven known children.
1850 census, Grand River, Henry Co MO: DUNNING Adah/49/NC, Amanda/17, John Henry/16, Albert 13, Sarah E./7. Sons Marshall and Freeman and families are living nearby.
No marker found for Adah Nov 2012. There were 4 bases in a row, three had newer flat square markers; from left, Marshall Greer Dunning, Mandy Dunning, no marker, Shadrach Dunning. The markers were glued on top of old bases that had slots that evidently once held upright stones. The base with no marker is assumed to be where Adah is interred. The area is heavily overgrown with brambles and old rose bushes, tree limbs and ground cover. Some walnut trees have been removed right behind the bases. If a new marker was added for Adah, it could easily be covered over by vines, leaves, sod or ground cover. The marker entered as Nichols/Dunning Unknown, covered with moss, was found leaning against a tree behind bases for Adah and Shadrach, and may have been original stone for one of them.
