Pamela Briggs just sent me this and I thought I would send it along to the list as others may be interested. Bette, Regarding your work on the Nantucket Bunker line, you may find it difficult to find some of them because Nantucket was so isolated and independent that many of the records can only be located in private records. The historian there had sent me some of the Robinson info. I needed. Yesterday I checked out their website and found they have added lots of information. I found a treasure trove of Robinson's. A great deal of it is in Eliza Starbuck Barney Genealogical Record. The Surname Index is at http://140.186.109.142/bgr/BGR-p/surname_index.htm. You can also get back to the homepage from there. There are oodles of Bunkers, some of whom might not be listed elsewhere. The historian in Nantucket. told me this record was the most reliable. Also, if you subscribe to Genealogy.com which I believe you do, under "Genealogies of Mayflower Families, there are "Marriages in Nantucket, 1717-1777, the records of which were kept by George Bunker and Caleb Bunker whom as justices of the peace conducted many of these records.
