  • Notes 
    • Miss Lizzie you will find she was a descendant of an African slave and not Cherokee. This is extremely common in the Southeastern U.S. and should be embraced and not rejected. I know most of our g-g-great grandparents told stories they believed to be true, but DNA evidence has shown a different more accurate picture of our ancestor's past.

      addition: Elizabeth is NOT mentioned in Henry's will. We know the history of this Henry Bunch from 1727 in North Carolina onward. It is possible that Henry started a family in Virginia before moving to NC and left this daughter out of his will. But that is unusual. Do you have a document connecting this Elizabeth to the Henry Bunch that has a will probated in 1775 in Bertie NC?
