Jonathan Bundy and his Family

Jonathon Bundy, son of Benjamin Bundy and Ruth Jennings, born 1755 in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, died August 16, 1819 in Jefferson County, Illinois. Before 1785, he married Dorcas Brothers, daughter of Joseph Brothers and Nancy Sawyer, she died between 1850 and 1860. Both are buried in Little Grove Cemetery near Walnut Hill, Jefferson County, Illinois.
Jonathon and his family moved from Pasquotank County, North Carolina to Sumner County Tennessee shortly after 1810. Some of his kin-folk also moved to Tennessee at the same time and their descendants still live in the area.
It is not known whether he was in the Revolutionary War, but he probably was because all able bodied males had to go. He was twenty one years old when the Revolutionary War started in 1776. His first child Robert was born in 1785 two years after the conclusion of the war in 1783. He probably got a military land grant in Tennessee.
In 1817 Jonathan and his family moved from Sumner County, Tennessee to Illinois and settled about two mils northeast of Walnut Hill, Illinois in the N.W. corner of the N.W. 1/4 of Section 32, Raccoon Township, Marion County, Illinois. At the time he settled at this location, it was a part of Whit County, Illinois, North-west Territory. Illinois was admitted to the Union the following year in 1818. Jefferson County, Illinois was created out of White County on March 26, 1819. Marion County was created out of the northern part of Jefferson County and the southern part of Fayette County on January 24, 1823. When Jonathan Bundy died here in 1819 this was a part of Jefferson County, also when the census of 1820 was taken.
There was a Stage route from Shawneetown north-westward to Alton and another route from Kaskaskia to Vincennes, Indiana. These two routes crossed at Walnut Hill, Illinois. He and his family came to Illinois from Tennessee in old time cumbersome wagons. They probably followed this route from Shawneetown. The name of Walnut Hill was originally called Farmington but was changed to Walnut Hill on September 1, 1823.
When Jonathan died they did not have any lumber, so they cut a large white oak an split out the boards to make his coffin. A hand cut sand rock marked his and Dorcas grave for many years since it is the oldest grave in the Little Grove Cemetery. Buried about sixty feet northeast of the northeast corner of the church, there are several Bundy's buried in the same location.

The Arrival of the Bundys
William Bundy was the original Quaker Bundy in the Colony of Carolina. He may have been the lineage of William Bundy the Elder and Ellioner, his wife of Wiltshire, England and a brother of John Bundy of Massachusetts. It is possible that William and Elizabeth purchased two hundred acres of land in what is now South Kingston, Rhode Island, May 1st, 1663. Twenty acres was laid out as a house lot, 'and he hath built upon it." Evidently William Bundy remained in possession of the land only five or six months when he sold it on October 27, 1663 to Jirah Bull, the "Fearless Quaker" who was one of the first Quakers to settle in Narrahansett County, Rhode Island. The The deed is signed by William Bundy and "X", the mark of Elizabeth Bundy. The deed states that, "I, William Bundy, late Narragansett, now bound for Carolina do assign to Jirah Bull..." The document thus proves that William Bundy was married to Elizabeth before October 27, 1663 the date of the deed, and that both left Rhode Island for Carolina about that time, and were certainly among the first settlers from New England to North Carolina. The Eight Lords Proprietors had, by 1665, outlined a plan by which they proposed to administer the civil affairs of the territory. Southeastern Virginia, which was adjacent to Albemarle region of Carolina to which the Bundys had come, was already settled. In 1663 charter Charles II gave to the Eight Lords Proprietors. Bundys and other Quakers took out patents for their new land.

"The Bundy Family"
(From "Our Ancestors - The Stantons" by William Henry Stanton)

"The Bundy family, from its close and many connections with theStanton family, is one of special interest.
"It is hoped that some one will make a thorough investigation, andrecord the full history and genealogy of the Bundy family, which cannotbe attempted here.
"Tradition indicates that the family was in France in the EleventhCentury and probably takes its name from, or gives its name to theForest of Bondy; and that some members came to England in 1066, withthe Normans under William the Conqueror, as the name Bandy appears onthe battle rolls of some of the chiefs. It is probable that due tocarelessness or difference of pronunciation, the spelling was changedto Bundy.
"It appears they settled first in the rugged hills of Wales andlater moved to Yorkshire, England. Tradition also says that fivebrothers emigrated from York, England, and landed on the coast ofVirginia or North Carolina, and that one of the brothers becamedissatisfied and moved north to what is now known as New York State,and never returned. A family of Bundy's now located there resemblesthose from North Carolina and seems to confirm this tradition.
"While some of the early members were fierce warriors and whileseveral members volunteered for service in the Rebellion, the largemajority of the family has followed agriculture and the members earnedtheir living in peaceful way.
The family has generally occupied the middle walk of life - nogreat wealth and no members in poverty. The industry and thriftpracticed and their artistic, well-kept and substantial homes, seem topoint to a French ancestry, or at least to a strong admixture of thatblood."

"(Compiled largely from notes by Thomas Clarkson Bundy."

Research: Information from a book by V. Mayom Bundy, "The Descendantsof William and Elizabeth Bundy of RI and NC". William and Elizabethwere evidently married in England. They came to Rhode Island and thento North Carolina in 1663. They had six children: Mary, Caleb,Benjamin, Hannah, William, and Samuel.

It is thought that William was a brother to John Bundy and son ofWilliam Bundy the Elder and Ellioner, his wife, of Wiltshire, England.William married a second time to Mary Pierce and they had one child.(From V. Mayo Bundy, 200 S. Elam Ave., Greensboro, NC27403--2/22/95. Mayo Bundy is the author of a book: "The Descendantsof William &
Elizabeth Bundy of RI and NC"--(out-of-print)).

William and Elizabeth purchased two hundred acres of land in what isnow South Kingston, Rhode Island, 1 May 1663. They sold this land on27 Oct 1663 and went to North Carolina.

William Bundy and eight other Friends were put in prison about thefourth or fifth month of 1680 for refusing to bear arms in themusterfield and remained in prison for about six months.

William served as the justice of a court held in the Precinct toPerquimans and also served as Justice of the Peace in 1690-92.

William married his second wife, Mary Scott Pierce at the home ofMary. William and Mary had two children: Sarah and Mary.

Five or six other marriages which are recorded were accomplished prior to 1700. Prior to 1690, most of the meetings appear to have been held at the houses of Jonathan Phelps and Christopher Nicholson. Between 1690 and 1700 they were more frequently held at the house of Francis Toms. Dr. Weeks (93Southern Quakers and Slavery,94 page 47) concludes that in 1700 there were two monthly meetings and a quarterly meeting in Perquimans County. One of the monthly meetings, he says, was held at the house of Francis Toms, the other at the house of Jonathan Phelps. In 1698 it was agreed by the quarterly meeting that the last seventh day of 7th month in every year should be yearly meeting at the house of Francis Toms, the elder. In 1717 week day meetings were directed to be held at the houses of Timothy Clare and Samuel Nickolson. The Upper Meeting House and the Lower Meeting House are mentioned as places of worship as early as 1720. In 1725 a first day meeting was ordered established on the Southwest side of the Perquimans River, to be held alternately at the houses of Gabriel Newby and Thomas Pearce.20 ------------------------------------------------------- at Copied Notes. He married Elizabeth? Lau?. William Bundy was born circa 1630 at England. He immigrated between 1630 and 1660; William Bundy was the original Quaker Bundy in the Colony of Carolina. He may have been the lineage of William Bundy the Elder and Ellioner, his wife of Wiltshire, England and a brother of John Bundy of Massachusetts. It is possible that William and Elizabeth purchased two hundred acres of land in what is now South Kingston, Rhode Island, May 1st, 1663. Twenty acres was laid out as a house lot, 'and he hath built upon it." Evidently William Bundy remained in possession of the land only five or six months when he sold it on October 27, 1663 to Jirah Bull, the "Fearless Quaker" who was one of the first Quakers to settle in Narrahansett County, Rhode Island. The The deed is signed by William Bundy and "X", the mark of Elizabeth Bundy. The deed states that, "I, William Bundy, late Narragansett, now bound for Carolina do assign to Jirah Bull..." The document thus proves that William Bundy was married to Elizabeth before October 27, 1663 the date of the deed, and that both left Rhode Island for Carolina about that time, and were certainly among the first settlers from New England to North Carolina. The Eight Lords Proprietors had, by 1665, outlined a plan by which they proposed to administer the civil affairs of the territory. Southeastern Virginia, which was adjacent to Albemarle region of Carolina to which the Bundys had come, was already settled. In 1663 charter Charles II gave to the Eight Lords Proprietors. Bundys and other Quakers took out patents for their new land.¹
