How do I get the Bunker List in Digest Form?

Digest Please

Hello cousins, See you in Portsmouth gil

Your list coordinator will be traveling to Southern California beginning Thursday and will return to Medford Sunday, so will be unavailable to respond to any e-mail queries during that period. My eldest son, Robin Detling, will be married to Teniel Thompson on Saturday, June 14, in La Jolla, California. So chalk up another marriage for the Bunker, Roblee, Detling, Brott and Bradt clans. Robin's brother Shannon will be married in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 26 to Amanda Jensen. My future daughters-in-law both were "required" to provide their future father-in-law with four-generation genealogy charts to expand the family data bases.

http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/fhc/FamilyHistory.htm A great site from the BYU special collections. Bette

You might find this article interesting about DNA and genealogy. http://www.msnbc.com/news/generoots_front.asp?0si=- Retrospect Publishing has some interesting searchable resources for Pennsylvania. Costs $$ but there may be something there for you. http://www.retrospectpublishing.com These two interesting sites come from Dick Eastman's newsletter which I highly recommend. http://www.rootsforum.com Bette

The Brooklyn library has put the Eagle newspaper online. It is in beta testing and some changes and glitches can be expected but it is a great source. In the first 16 hits I pulled up I found a robbery, bigamy, obituaries, birthday party and other info about various Bunkers. Gil will love this site. There were over 3400 hits for Bunker but of course, some of them will be for Bunker Hill and bunkers of boats. http://eagle.brooklynpubliclibrary.org I did not search this site very much but I will definitely return. Bette

SAY IT WITH PICTURES. Unlike RootsWeb Mailing Lists, which do not permit attachments, you can attach pictures or scanned images to messages you post on any RootsWeb/Ancestry board message. The potential uses of such attachments are endless. Post a transcription of a will, deed, or family Bible record and add a scan of the image of the original record for others to view and download. Perhaps you have unidentified family photos you would like to upload so that others might view, and possibly identify, the people in the pictures. If you have a photo of an ancestor's tombstone upload it when posting an obituary for that individual. Signature comparisons can help prove or disprove whether two documents were signed by the same John Jones. Actual scanned signatures may be uploaded and added to a post for researchers to examine. You may add up to five attachments to any single message. Graphics files will be converted to .JPG or .GIF format upon upload. To add an attachment click on "Attachments: [Add]" when viewing the POST NEW MESSAGE or POST REPLY screen. Either type in the path to the location of the photograph or image file on your computer, or click on the browse button to navigate to the file and then select it for uploading. After you have located your file or files and the paths are showing in the boxes next to the browse button, click on SUBMIT option to upload the files. Complete your message and remember to click on POST. You also can select PREVIEW if you want to proofread your message before you select POST. The attached files will be accessible when anyone views your message. When viewing a message, look for the icon -- it's a colorful swirl within a box -- beneath the message. That denotes there is an attachment to that post. This is something I didn't know but useful information especially if you are looking for ID's in pictures. This came from the latest Rootsweb Review. Bette

Here are some Bunker cemetery inscriptions on the Nantucket Historical Soc. website. http://140.186.109.142/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll Very interesting inscriptions. Bette

Thanks Gene. I am sure I will use this site and so will a lot of our Nantucket Bunkers.

Bette, Your information about the three Samuel Bunker children marrying three Zephaniah Coffin children is also confirmed within the Book: *The Coffin Family* edited by Louis Coffin and copyrighted by the Nantucket Historical Association in 1962 -- Library of Congress Catalog Card # 62-18214 ... Yet, it should be noted that one of the three Coffin children is actually a stepsister of the other two children ... Zephaniah Coffin and his first wife, Miriam Macy, dau of John and Judith Macy, had four children: Hepsabeth [md Tristram Coffin] Stephen [md Mary Bunker, dau of Samuel and Priscilla] Shubael [md 1) Abigail Paddack, 2) Mary Swain] Dinah [md Abisha Bunker, son of Samuel and Priscilla] Zephaniah and his second wife, Abigail Coleman, dau of Solomon and Mary Coleman, had six children: Mary [md Charles Bunker, son of Samuel and Priscilla] Miriam [md Richard Macy] Paul [md Susanna Bunker, dau of Jonathan and Judith] Zephaniah [md Hepsabeth Bunker, dau of Jonathan and Judith] Solomon [md 1) Eunice Macy, 2) Phebe (Clark) Gardner] Abigail [md Solomon Bunker, son of David and Elizabeth] You will note that children from the second marriage were close to another Bunker family <grin> for two boys married daughters of Jonathan and Judith Bunker ... After entering the above info for you, I realized that you were talking about my family <grin> ... The stepsister, Mary Coffin, and her husband, Charles Bunker, are my GGGG-Grandparents ... I have their marriage date as 12m/11d/1760 as per my Society of Mayflower Descendants Application, and would love to see what the original [marriage] record has on it ...

You are correct. The marriage date was 1753 and most likely my inability to read Leach's handwriting. However, in the next generation I read it as 1753. Children of Abishai Bunker and Dinah Coffin were Abishai b. 1754, and Miriam b. 1755. Abishai then married Hephzibah Allen in 1757 and they had Thaddeus b. 1758 according to Leach. The Bunker Family Assn. database also shows Hephzibah Bunker b. 1761 and Hezikiah b. 1762 after Abishai died. Thanks for the assist. This was very hard to read and I need all the help I can get to make sure it is accurate.

Dina COFFIN, b. 1736, d. 25 Sep 1756. I am aware of one child, Abishai BUNKER, b. 4 Feb 1754, so the marriage date of 1783 must be a typographical error.

I am working on entries from Leach's Nantucket Quakers and have found that three children of Samuel Bunker (RN4061) married three children of Zephaniah Coffin. We have known for years that the Bunkers married Coffins but there were so many Coffins in Nantucket that we had no information before this time that the Coffins were all children of Zephaniah. Abishai Bunker m. 1783 Dinah Coffin Mary Bunker m. 1751 Stephen Coffin Charles Bunker, overseer and elder of the Quaker church, m. 1760 Mary Coffin. Samuel Bunker was also an elder in the Quaker church. Bette

The Washington Post now has 110 years on line. This site may only be available to libraries but here is the press release. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030520/detu019_1.html I don't know if or what it might cost to have access to this or whether some genealogical society libraries might have it available. Here is a site that helps you learn to do research by zip code and has several sources to look at as well. http://library.csun.edu/mfinley/zipstats.html The online parish clerk project for Devon, England might interest you http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/genuki/DEV/OPCproject.html Here is the Rootsweb site for alumni of schools.
