• Notes

  Paul Heinegg..http://www.freeafricanamericans.com/Brooks_Byrd.htm John1 Bunch, born say 1632, was granted a non-suit in York County court on 17 November 1658 [Deeds, Orders, Wills, 1657-1662, 41]. He received a patent for 450 acres on both sides of Rickahock path adjoining Richard Barnhouse's land in New Kent County on 18 March 1662 [Patents 5:152]. The DNA of his descendants is the E1b1a8a haplotype which indicates they descend from a West African man, so he was probably the son of a white woman by a slave. One theory is that he was the child of John Punch, a "negro" who ran away with two white servants in 1640 [McIlwaine, Minutes of the Council, 1622-1632, 466-7]. The DNA testing also indicates that his mixed-race descendants in Virginia and the Carolinas were related [Anastasia Harman, Ancestry.com Lead Family Historian, Natalie D. Cottrill, Paul C. Reed and Joseph Shumway, Obama Bunch Descendancy, He was apparently the ancestor of i. Paul1, born say 1658. ii. John2. born say 1660. iii. Henry1, born say 1690.
