    [Captain John Bunch]
    Mr. Bunch's name was probably SAMUEL BUNCH, SR.

    in membership by the Cedar Creek Monthly Meting Quakers, Hanover Co., VA.

On 11 Jan 1773 he deeded Pouncy Bunch 60 acres. In 1777 he paid two tithes therefore ha had only one son at home. His will was unusual in that he left land to two of his daughters. From the Book "Early Quaker Families In Louisa, the will is referenced. It reads:
    This will was dated 30 Jan 1782 and was proved at a court held at Louisa on 9 Jan 1783. He named his wife, Mary Bunch, and gave her his estate for life. He devised to his son, Samuel Bunch, 125 acres of land with the plantation whereon Benjiman Phares formerly lived. And to his son, Charles Bunch, he gave 125 acres with the plantation I now live on. To his daughter, Judith, he gave 100 acres of land in North Garden,
    Albemarle County. He mentions his sons James and John, and daughters Rebecca and Ann. He named his executors his wife, Mary, son Samuel and Samuel Richardson. Witnesses were Samuel Richardson, William Payne and Richard Morris.[John Bunch 11.ged]
