ɦ==Disputed== John Dunn died on August 5, 1895, having married 49 wives and fathered 117 children. That seems a bit high, no? FunkyChicken! 14:28, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Can you provide an actual reference, not virtual ones? FunkyChicken! 17:13, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean ? Is this any better ? He really did have a lot of children. I have met some of his descendants, slightly fairer stock than the average Zulu. Wizzy…☎ 18:15, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
I can certainly provide actual references- Volume 5 of "British Settlers in Natal, South Africa; 1824 - 1857" by Shelagh O'Byrne Spencer [1989. Pietermaritzburg: University of Natal Press]
And of course, the fact that my mother is a Dunn, descended from Catherine Pierce, Dunn's nkosikazi [principal wife]. Grant McKenna 19:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
