I have been looking at Dover Monthly Meeting records which start in 1702. I find Joseph (James' brother)and his family. I don't find any other Bunker family except Paul who is a Nantucket descendant. I am looking for church records for James (2) or John m. Dorcas Field. Were they Quaker too? Did only Joseph join the Friends? Was this because Joseph's wife, Mary (last name unknown) was a Quaker? Are there any church records for Anne Thomas or her family or Martha Downes and her family? Anybody interested in looking around for any church records for James and John? Since they do not appear in any record of any other church, I felt they must be Quakers but they do not appear in the Quaker records either. The History of Durham mentions "the foolish Quaker aunt" of James (3). This was most likely Joseph's wife, Mary. However, it could have been the wife of John (Dorcas Field) or Mary Bunker Drew. At this time in history, you could not get away with avoiding church sessions. You either went to church or got fined or put in the stocks. There was contention between the Anglican and Quakers by 1700, you could still be punished for going to a Quaker meeting too. Bette
