From Biographical Sketch of Purley B. Dunkle, pg. 1173-1775, 1916 Hanging Rock Iron Region Vol. II:
"Purley's father, John Dunkle, Jr., was a son of John, Sr., who was born in Pennsylvania, a representative of the staunch old German stock that has been most prominent in the history of that commonwealth. He married in Pennsylvania and in the early part of the nineteenth century he came to Ohio and numbered himself among the pioneers of Pickaway County, which at that time was little more than a wilderness, with sparse settlement. There he gave himself earnestly to the reclaiming of a farm and there he continued his residence for many years, a substantial and honored citizen. Finally, he sold his property in the county and removed to Vinton County, where both he and his wife passed the residue of their lives. Each attained to advanced age and the remains of both rest in the old Elk Township Cemetery at McArthur. All of their children who attained to maturity were born in Ohio and all married and reared children, the sons having been John, Jr., Eli, Samuel, Jacob, Benjamin and Isaac, and the daughters, Phoebe and Polly. All of these children are now deceased."
