Our Genealogy Begins Here

The Dunlap Family genealogy begins with Simon Dunlap and Caroline Dunlap of Lancaster County, South Carolina. Simon was born in 1840 and later married Caroline, who was born in 1845.

Together, they had six children: Thomas (1861), Emma (1862), William (1866), James (1867), Simon (1871), and Hattie (1874). Over time, their children and grandchildren formed branches of the family across Charlotte and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Detroit, Michigan, Salem, Ohio, and Fort Mill, South Carolina.
