Thanks to Ann Stallings, Betsy Jones, and Richard or Deborah Callicott for their info on the L'Engles. Here is my research on them and their connection to my family. I definitely want to know more about them.

My grandfather Rufus McMillan Dunn b 1865 in Horry County SC gave his home address as Jacksonville Florida in 1894 when he was graduating from Medical College of the State of South Carolina in Charleston. I don't know why. Oct 31 1894, he married Minnie Miriam Frazee b
1872 in Natchez MS. Her father was Wm. Lewis Frazee who, if he followed the same profession as his father Rev. James Bradford Frazee and brother Henry Bascom Frazee, both Methodist preachers, then we can understand why he moved his family often and to such far distant
places.

Rev. James Bradford Frazee b 1806 Warren OH
His son William Lewis Frazee b 1836 Louisville KY
m 1856 Farmington MO Martha Ann McFarland b 1845 MO
Rev. Frazee's second son Henry Bascom b 1837 Augusta KY m Opelousas LA d Starke FL

Wm. Lewis's son Wm. Stephen was born 1866 in St. Louis MO,
Minnie was born in Natchez, and
Martha Amelia was born 1874 in Pine Bluff AR.
They were the only 3 survivors of 8 children

Wm. Lewis died 1881 in Moseley Hall, Madison Co, FL
Martha Ann McFarland Frazee died 1876 Pine Bluff, AR

Minnie and Martha Frazee were adopted by Judge F.F. L'Engle, and he gave them away at their weddings there in Jacksonville. Minnie's in 1894 and Martha's in Nov 1895 to Alfred Norman Adams.

In the Evergreen Cemetery in Jax:
Amelia Frazee (Martha Amelia) wife of Alfred N. Adams, 1874-1907
Edward L. L'Engle, Aug 26 1834, June 24 1890 p. 149

John S. Adams 1820-1878
Ellen F. Adams 1839-1878
Helen M. Adams 1819-1895
Claudia L'E. Adams 1865-1895
John C. L'Engle Oct 22 1840 page not legible
Edward Jaquline L'Engle "
Samuel Arch L'Engle 1889-1889 p. 152

Evergreen Cem in Barnett Lot p. 146
William Johnson L'Engle 1833-1861 Assist Surgeon USA and his beloved wife, Margaret Madeline Saunders 1833-1917 and their daughter Lina L'Engle Barnett 1859-1934

Old City Cemetery p. 114
L'Engle, Ella Baitzell lot 63
L'Engle, Jessie Taliferro lot 63
L'Engle, Rosa Seymour lot 63

All those on p. 149 listed in the order given here, seem to me to have been buried together. Martha Amelia was married to an Adams. An Adams was married to Claudia L'Engle. Judge L'Engle adopted the Frazee orphans. The L'Engle and Frazee were French Huguenots.
