John Dunbar 
John was born in 1670 in Saint Marys, MD, USA.1 John's father is William Dunbar and his mother is UNKNOWN Ann. He was an only child. He died at the age of 39 on November 2nd, 1709 in Saint Marys, MD, USA.1 General Notes
The Dunbars were from Scotland and the first known Dubar in St. Mary's
County was John Dunbar who made his will in 1709. We don't find his name
on the early passenger lists to Maryland, but we do know that in the
1650s the fist political prisoners from the Scottish Rebellion were sent
here by King Charles II. The names of those on that first ship are not
available.
These political exiles were required by the King to be sold for seven
years servitude. Perhaps the father of the above John Dunbar was exiled
for fighting for his religious freedom and beliefs.
This John Dunbar was born c. 1669 and his will of 1709 says he has two
sons and three daughters, but only names William, Mary and Sara. He left
his family the dwelling plantation and the tan-yards. I am not sure what
that means unles perhaps he was a tanner.
