Henry1 Bunch Sr., probably born about 1690, was a resident of Chowan County on 18 December 1727 when he purchased 200 acres in Bertie County on Reedy Branch. He purchased 640 acres in Bertie on Conaritsat Swamp from Thomas Pollock on 30 May 1729 [DB C:21, 266]. He was taxable on his own tithe and 2 slaves in the 1750 Bertie County summary tax list and was a "Free Mulatto" taxable on 2 slaves in Bertie County from 1763 to 1766 [C.R. 10.702.1, Box 1]. He made a will in Bertie on 21 April 1775, proved in August 1775. He had already deeded 840 acres of land on Conaritsat and Mulberry to his grandson Jeremiah Bunch, Jr., in 1765, and in his will left most of the remainder of his land to his grandson Cader Bass [WB B:34-7]. He named as heirs the following children:
i. Jeremiah1, Sr., born say 1715.
ii. Tamerson, married Thomas Bass.
iii. Susannah, married Lazarus Summerlin, a taxable "free molattor" in Jonathan Standley's 1764 Bertie tax list [CR 10.702.1].

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.
