Alright, I'm finally trying to move on after being tangled up in the Samuel Dunham conundrum.Here's a brief biography of Samuel, who is my 7x great grandfather:
(III) Samuel Dunham, son of John, born Feb. 25, 1651, at Plymouth, married (first) in 1680 Mary Harlow and (second) Jan. 15, 1693, Mrs. Sarah Watson. In 1699 he and his son Samuel enlisted under Capt. James Warren. His will was probated in 1718 at Plymouth. His children were: Samuel, born in 1681; William, born in 1684; Mary, born in 1687; Ebenezer, born in 1692; and Nathaniel, born in 1698.-p1648

Mary Harlow, Samuel's wife, was the daughter of Willism Harlow and Mary Faunce.
I've found Samuel's Probate file over on American Ancestors. He died intestate and the estate was administered by his son Samuel Jr.
I am descended from Samuel's son Ebenezer Dunham.
