• Notes

  The following seems to be the source of the controversy of Saby Wyatt and Sabory McGuire: Zachariah BUNCH - b. about 1751, prob. Louisa Co., VA; d. Apr.-Aug. 1794, Clark Co., KY. Son of Henry BUNCH and Ann. Zachariah sold land in Bedford Co., VA by deed dated Sep. 1, 1772, making it likely that his first child was born in that county. He appears on the 1784 tax list of Botetourt Co., VA, and on the 1789 tax list of Mercer Co., KY. His will, dated Apr. 3, 1794, Clark Co., KY, and proved by witnesses John SUMMERS, Sr., and Peter DEWITT, Jr. and Sr. on Aug. 26, 1794, and by Saby BUNCH on Aug. 28, 1794. The will names wife Saby, six children, and grandson James CUBBAGE. Son in law John HOLLOWAY was security for the executrix. An inventory of the BUNCH estate was taken Nov. 24, 1794 and recorded Dec. 23, 1794, clearly indicates Zachariah was a livestock farmer, including seven horses, 24 head of cattle, 14 hogs and 7 sheep. Married about 1771. Sabory - Wife of Zachariah in 1793, and possibly the mother of his children. The following entry appears in a volume of Mercer Co., KY Court Records: 'Indenture from Zachariah Bunch and Sabory Bunch, his wife, to Lawrence McGuire, was acknowledged and dower relinquished and ordered recorded.' This record provides Saby's full given name, and suggests a lead that may uncover her ancestry. Research continues.
