| Birth of a son #3 | John DUNN 1832 (Age 29 years) Note: The entry stated John's mother was Catherine Saunders and the godmother was also Catherine Saunders. Almost certainly a mistake since Francis Dunn was Lucy Saunders.

| Birth of a son #4 | Luke DUNN 1836 (Age 33 years) This Could be Luke Dunn Baptism Record Note: This baptism record is difficult to read. The name could be Susan or perhaps Lusian. In any case it is definitely a record for a child of Francis and Lucy. What is really interesting is that Andrew Saunders was a sponsor. The only Andrew Saunders known were old Andrew Saunders of Knocknaboley who was a Protestant and James Saunders' son Andrew, who would have been 18. Since James Saunders was an active, practicing Church of Ireland member, it is likely that it was the younger. This might indicate that old Andrew Saunders had converted to Catholicism or that there was a third Andrew Saunders, perhaps a younger brother of Lucy.

| Census | Lucy Dunn was a widow living with her youngest daughter Mary in the 1861 census. Notice she was living next to James and Mary Dunn, probably the family of her husband Francis Dunn's brother. |
| Note | Francis Dunn and Lucy Saunders Dunn took over the John Saunders lease on Rathbawn by 1839. Thus she was likely daughter of John Saunders of Rathbawn and had several possible siblings including John Jr and Catherine Saunders (wife of Daniel Dunn of Knocknaboley.) Francis and Lucy were Roman Catholic and attended the Parish of Hacketstown before moving to Ontario Canada. It is clear that there was a relationship between the Saunders of Rathbawn and Saunders of Knocknaboley. John Saunders' lease on Rathbawn was for the life of Andrew Saunders, son of James Saunders and grandson of Andrew Saunders of Knocknaboley. Baptism records in Killaveny show that Catherine Saunders and Andrew Saunders were sponsors for several of Francis & Lucy's children. Both Lucy Dunn and Catherine Dunn's families left Wicklow for Whitby Ontario in the 1850s, which suggest they might have been sisters; however, it could be the close connection of their husbands that is reflected in the evident relationship. |
