Value $300, born in GA. They are living next door to T. G. Barnett and
family. He died about 1853.(4) Newton
Bunn was not listed with his wife in the 1860 Henry Co., GA census. Note
from Tom Bunn: From the obit of Elizabeth Bunn, wife of Newton Bunn, we
must conclude that Newton Bunn died about 1853. the obit states that Elizabeth
Bunn was left a widow when her oldest child was 6 years old. This child
being John James "Jim" Bunn who was born 12 June 1847 (end of note).
Newton Bunn is thought to be the son of
Jesse and Eady Broadaway Bunn. Jesse and Eady married 18 OCT 1811. He had
a sister, Charity Bunn, who married George Valentine Barnett, and a brother,
George W. Bunn, who married Mary Ann Mays, and Sarah Ann Pilgreen. Jesse
Bunn is thought to be the son of James and Suckey Unknown Bunn. Most of
my information on his ancestors came from Mary Ann Askew Bunn.
He obtained a marriage license on 28 Jul
1846 in Henry Co., GA.(5) He was
married to Elizabeth Hollanberry "Holly" FIELDS (daughter of James
FIELDS and Hollanberry "Holley" COOPER) on 30
