• Notes

  Will of Jeremiah Bunch 8 March 1796 Bertie, NorthCarolina Son: Henry Bunch, Jeremiah Bunch, Nehemiah Bunch, Frederick Bunch, William Bunch, Nannie Bunch Collins, Jeremiah Bunch Sr and his brother Embrey Bunch were listed as "householders" in Bertie County NC in 1755. Their father Henry Bunch's will is probated in Bertie NC in 1775 and he appears to have done well as he is able to distribute money, possessions and his land and plantation and (sadly) some slaves to his children (Jeremiah, Tomerson, Susannah, Rachel, Nanny and Embrey) and grandchildren (Cader and Zadock) They were all very active in land records of Bertie County from the 1760's onward. They are farmers, planters and plantation owners. Jeremiah Bunch Senior deeded land to his grandson Jeremiah Bunch, son of Jeremiah Bunch Junior. All 3 generations of Jeremiah Bunches lived and died in Bertie Co. They appear to be very religious according to their preponderance of Biblical family names along with the Williams and Henrys. Jeremiah and Nehemiah being very notable. Many of them attended local congregations, gave land and support to and involvement in their churches and at least 2 became ministers. The Jeremiah Bunches belonged to churches that also allowed African Americans as members. Sadly slavery is accepted as ok. Apparently some had an unusual amount of and sophistication of carpentry tools suggesting a possible vocation in carpentry. There is a very nice Jeremiah Bunch Plantation home of about 1800 vintage in Bertie County. Some of the early descendants of Henry and Jeremiah Bunch moved into a variety of states: South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee to name a few.
