LegacyThe {{convert|5000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} farm house that Dunham built in Tipton County, Indiana in the 1880s, The Dunham House, still stands today. The original {{convert|120|acre|km2}} of land upon which the house was built was purchased by Jacob Dunham and Catherine Goodnight Dunham, President Barack Obama's great, great, great, great grandparents as a land grant in 1849 and remained in the Dunham family until 1969.[6][7] As local legend recalls, William Riley was an acquaintance of President Grover Cleveland, who may have spent the night in the home. He even named one of his sons Grover Cleveland Dunham, eventually a physician, who would later inherent the property from his father.[8] The Dunham file that the Heritage Society maintains mysteriously contains an obscure newspaper article giving details of a secret medical procedure that President Cleveland underwent while in office.[5] The Dunham family, and the Goodnight, Kearney, and Stroup families that they married into, served the public in the region in politics, medicine, education, and agriculture.[9] Then candidate Barack Obama visited the house with his wife and daughters in May, 2008.[10] A historical marker now graces the property.[11] Notable Family Members
