About us

A Worldwide Welcome to Dunkley, Dunklee, Dunckley, Dunklin etc. surname Project.

I belong to the tiny clan descending from Oliver Dunkley who came to Pennsylvania in 1688.

Other early Dunkleys in America include:

  • Moses of Virginia in 1700s
  • Elnathan of Massachusetts in 1600s
  • Joseph Dunkley of Stratford, Essex, England, moved to Utah in 1855
  • William of Bedford indented to Maryland in 1775

    English records show Dunkleys in Northamptonshire as early as 1500s as well as other locations. Professions run the gamot from carpenter to shipowner such as Sir Robert Dunkley of early 1700s. There are many Dunkleys thoughout England today.

    Dunkleys also settled early in Australia, Barbados and Jamaica. Thomas of Newbold Leicestershire indented to Jamaica in 1684. Joseph was a Newgate prisoner transported to Barbados in 1683.

    Somehow, each of us came to be where we are today. Join in the discovery of our Dunkley roots. www.kreig.net/family/dunkley/dna.htm
