Hi Kathi, I think I have found the people you are looking for in the Buntin/Siria line. My paternal line is Buntin. William Henderson Buntin married Elizabeth Groves in 1842, Hopkins CO. Two of their many children were Thomas (Tom) Buntin and Julia Buntin. Julia Ann Buntin was born in 1846 and married Absalom W. Siria. Julia and Absalom had a daughter and named her Minerva who was born in 1869. You said William Hodges was born to Minerva and her husband, a Hodges. If William Hodges was raised by his grandmother Buntin that would have been his great grandmother, Elizabeth (Betsy) Buntin but she died in 1890. The Tom Buntin relative was Julia's brother and Minerva's uncle. Perhaps he took in William Hodges. He was known to have taken in relatives to live with him as did his parents William Henderson Buntin and Betsy. William Henderson and Betsy were my great, great grandparents. Tom Buntin was my great grandfather. His wife's name was Lucy. In any case, Minerva's mother Julia Ann was a Buntin who married Absalom Siria and Minerva was their daughter. Hope this helps.
