Barbara Dunlop was the wife of James Dunlop who was a jurist, born in Georgetown, D. C. in 1793; died there, 6 May 1872. He graduated from Princeton in 1811, studied law with Francis Scott Key, whose partner he afterward became, and acted as district attorney in his place when Key was called away on business in 1833. He was recorder of Georgetown till 27 December 1838, when he was appointed judge of the criminal court for the District of Columbia. He was made assistant judge of the U. S. circuit court for that district on 3 October 1845, and was chief justice from 27 November 1855, till 1863, when the court was abolished by Lincoln after Dunlop expressed Confederate sympathies. The Laird-Dunlop House at 3014 N Street, NW, was later bought by Robert Todd Lincoln in 1915. An interesting provenance from a once prominent Washington, DC family.
