Dunlap, Livingston (1799–10 September 1862), physician and civic leader, was born in Cherry Valley, New York. Little is known of his parentage other than that his father’s name was probably John Dunlap.

After arriving in Indianapolis from New York State in 1821, Dunlap formed a partnership with Samuel Mitchell, the city’s first physician. A medical student at the time, Dunlap studied medicine as an apprentice under Mitchell and became the third physician in Indianapolis.

There he won the notice and friendship of influential legislator ...
