History of Botts name and more.

Have just been sent the probable lineage of my Ralph H BUNCH who married into my Maternal HALCROW line, and settled in Montana. He died 1958 near Great Falls, MT. Jesse HALCROW died 1967. I am seeking information on Ralph BUNCHes father, listed in the SocSecDeathIndex letter received as Tapley BUNCH. Lineage received from a BUNCH family source is as follows :Ralph H BUNCH bn Sep 1896-Murrayville, Morgan Co, IL.His father was Tapley B BUNCH, bn ~1842. Married Julia HENRY. His father was William B BUNCH, bn ~1842, prob IL. Married Lucinda P [unknown]. His father was James BUNCH, bn ~1820-21 in KY. Married Elizabeth BEADLES. His father was Davis BUNCH, bn ~1795 in KY. Married Mary HALLOWAY. His father was Clark BUNCH, bn ~1744 in KY. Married Ann DAVIS in 1794, Clark Co, KY. His father was Zachariah BUNCH, bn ~ 1753 in VA. Married Saby [unknown].

His father was John BUNCH, bn ~ 1641 in England, came to VA by 1656. I thank all the BUNCH donations of information that probably led to some/alot of this being available.Seek details on Tapley's siblings, and the likelihood of finding living relatives. Will search the archives of this surname list for these earlier names, there is nothing on Topley/Tapley. My source shows him in the 1880 Morgan Co. IL census living at Murrayville with wife Lucinda and 8 children including Topley B aged 3. Happy Dancing here !!! - Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma finn@ionet.net
