Thomas acording to family storys Thomas Bunch had a disfigured face
due to a mule kicking him while working his Stables and Black smith
shop in Camden Co. Mo. and was very darked skinned.There is a gene trait
amoung the Bunch Family that in the winter thay are very light skinned
and in Summer working out doors have a very dark brown skin which have
been called Mulatto .a record in a Virginia Colonial Records volume which
was a matter of the protest of John Bunch and Sarah Slaydon who were to
be married but the church refused claiming that John Bunch was a "mulatto".
This record was in 1705. so Thomas Bunch could have been listed as
Indian or Mulatto making him very hard to find on a census record.
If you find any other Records or History on Thomas Bunch let me know address and phone number listed below. Here is Information on his Brother William Franklin Bunch.
