W. W. DUNLAP was born in Fayette County, in 1840, a son of Alexander and Jane T. (Hawkins) 

Dunlap, natives of Fayette County. Alexander Dunlap represented his native county in the 

Legislature in 1859, and was magistrate of Grant County one term. William Dunlap, grandfather 

of W. W. Dunlap, and a native of Virginia, came to Lexington, Ky., many years ago. He was a 

farmer and butcher, and for several years was mayor of the town. W. W. Dunlap was educated 

at the common schools, and has always been a farmer and trader. He was taken by his parents 

to Grant County in 1843, where he has since resided, and now owns 100 acres of land. In 1862 

he married Mary C. Childers, of Grant County, daughter of Judge Henry and Elizabeth (Conyers) 

Childers, of Williamstown. Eight children have blessed this union: James N., Fanny B., Edwin, 

Alexander G., Mildred M., William W., Katie and Annie. Politically Mr. Dunlap is a Democrat.
