The FTDNA Bunch Y-DNA Project has this to say in the paragraph on the North Carolina Branch. Says this Henry's father is Paul. But the About section on this profile ruled Paul out as his father since he wasn't in Paul's will. Not being in a will 'can' indicate not being a child but shouldn't be the sole basis for that conclusion, in my opinion.
Established Lines
- The Virginia Branch: Male line descendants of John Bunch, Jr., b. ca. 1690, New Kent Co., Virginia, d. ca. Mar 1742, especially descendants of his (currently unrepresented) son William Bunch (b. ca. 1718), and additional descendants of John Bunch, Jr.'s son Henry Bunch (b. ca. 1720).
- The North Carolina Branch: Bunch males representing old North Carolina lineages, particularly male line descendants of Jeremiah Bunch (b. ca. 1650, arrived New Kent (later King William) Co., Virginia ca. 1668), Paul Bunch (b. ca.1675, prob. New Kent Co., Virginia, died 1727 in Chowan Co., North Carolina), and Henry Bunch (b. ca. 1690, lived in Chowan/Bertie counties, North Carolina, d. 1775).
- The South Carolina Branch: Bunch males representing old South Carolina lineages, particularly male line descendants of John Bunch, b. ca. 1692, lived in Bertie Co., North Carolina, moved to Berkeley Co., South Carolina ca. 1735 (son of Paul Bunch, above).
Debbie Gambrell Thank you for bringing to attention.
I see no reason to alter or go against the curator note:
This is the Master Profile for Henry Bunch, ... of Bertie.
Curator Note from Erin Ishimoticha (10/17/2015):
NOT the son of Paul Bunch, but he has been proven to be a genetic relative. Contact me with sources.
So I’ll make the disconnects happen..
The relationships were locked, so I have to try and understand how the snarl happened.
