Andrew Dunning came to New England in 1717, and in that year bought lots in the town of Brunswick as the records of the Pejepscot Company declare. The following year, as it seems, his family came over with the immigrants from the north of Ireland. His son, David Dunning, age 86 in 1793, testified that he had lived in Brunswick "ever since I was a boy of twelve years of age." On 8 Oct 1787 the same David Dunning deposed "that on or about the year 1718, I came first to Boston and in the same vessel with Mr. Andrew McFadden and his wife (who is now a widow) and that soon after we came to Boston we came down together in the same vessel to the eastern country; that the said McFadden and his wife went to live at a place in Merry Meeting Bay called Somersett. The deponent adds that he has lived in the town of Brunswick constantly ever since the year one thousand seven hundred and eighteen and within ten or fifteen miles of Somersett aforesaid." (Cf. Bangor Historical Magazine, Vol. 6, pp. 38-39)
The ship 'Maccullum,' James Law, master, arrived at Boston from Londonderry, [Northern] Ireland, 1 Sep 1718. The same ship sailed from Boston to Merry Meeting Bay on 8 Sep 1718. Rev. James Woodside in 1723 said in a petition that "he with 40 families, consisting of above 160 persons did in the year 1718 embarque on a ship at Derry Lough in Ireland in order to erect a colony at Casco Bay, in your Majestys Province of Main in New England. That being arrived they made a settlement at a place called by the Indians Pegipscot, but by them Brunswick, within 4 miles from Fort George, where he had a garrison house."
That garrison house was built by the Pejepscot Co. at Maquoit, on Middle Bay, in the southerly part of Brunswick. Nearby Andrew Dunning bought his lots and built his house, on the farm occupied in 1878 by Patrick McManus. Here he lived as a blacksmith and farmer. "much respected for his integrity and uprightness of Character." He was buried in the old cemetery near the first meeting house, on Main Street, a mile or so south of Bowdoin College, and his gravestone is said to be the oldest one in Brunswick and to have been made by his son James. The inscription reads as follows:
"Here lyeth the Body of Mr. Andrew Duning who departed this life Ianawary the 18th Anno Dom 1736 aged 72 Yrs."
