"Generation 1) Nicholas Dun was taxed at Oyster River in 1682. How long he had been there and where he may have come from is not clear. Descendants from the 19th century have claimed both Ireland and Scotland to be his birthplace. There is also a possibility that he was born somewhere in America."
"Elizabeth Roberts was the daughter of William Roberts who was killed at the outbreak of King Philip's War. The name of her mother is not known with certainty, GDMNH shows William's widow as Dorothy. Stackpole, in his "History of Durham" suggests Anne. Davis, in "The Ancestry of Lydia Harmon" states her name is not known.

" .... William Roberts and one of his sons-in-law were killed by Indians in 1675, during King Philip's War... From the account [of his estate] ... it appears that Roberts was survived by his wife and that his son, William Roberts, died before 1677... The name of William Robert's wife is not known.  The number and names of William Robert's children are determined by the deeds disposing of the two hundred-acre town grants.  The property was conveyed in "one-fifth parts" by Elizabeth Allen, Sarah Harmon, Grace Moses and Hannah Cox, all stating that they were daughters of William Roberts.  This leaves only one fifth to be accounted for, and proves that at the date of the division no son of William Roberts was living to inherit a double portion.  The last fifth was held in shares, ...."
