Documentation:
* The Chunn descendant who submitted this treasured photograph for all of us to enjoy sent the following note: "In looking through photos and information, I keep finding my grandfather's middle name spelled two ways...Falkner and Faulkner. I know that my grandmother told me that he was given the name Falkner because his grandmother, Nancy Jane Moore Chunn (1833-1910) had gone to live on the Falkner Plantation near Ripley after George Washington Chunn (1836-1861) had died of measles at a hospital in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, during the Civil War. Col. William Falkner was a close friend of the family and provided aid to Nancy Jane and her three young children, Thomas, Newton Jasper and Emma."
* From "The Chunn Clan", the writer thinks John Falkner Chunn was named for his father's baby brother who died as an infant during the Civil War.
