Some of our earliest American ancestors were not Bunkers. I haven't traced back the ancestors of all the females but here are a few: New Hampshire Bunker relatives: William Drew arrived in 1630, John Goddard, James Nute and Francis Mathews arrived on the Pied Cow in 1633; Darby Field arrived in Boston in 1636. James Bunker about 1646. Nantucket Bunker relatives: Tristram Coffin arrive in 1642; Thomas Gardner arrived in 1624 on the Ship Charity; Christopher Hussey arrived in 1633. George Bunker arrived in 1648. For some of the women, we are not sure of their parents so I did not include the ancestor of Hannah Mellowes or Mary Macy. There is probably some source which traces all the first Nantucket settlers back to their immigrant. Nantucket Bunkers are related to all of them I think. That would be an interesting project if someone wants to do the research. Bette

Betty, are you aware of Pat Maguire and Ann Wieser's tracing of ALL the Bunker wives in our (Nathaniel Emmons Bunker) line? That's the book that Pat allowed to be scanned for the Family Search program - I took it to SLC two or three years ago and they did it there at RootsTech. I can't find it though. Pat and Ann did a very thorough job and had it vetted by genealogists/historians at New England Genealogical Society. I tried searching Family Search for it and came up with nothing. Pat donated a copy to the BFA and Gil sent it on to me because I was the family historian at that time. I think I sent the BFA copy on to you when I inundated you with material a few years ago. Bunker and Dunning are the two surnames in the title.
