To William Jefferson Buntin,
I also trace my Bunten/Buntine/Bunton roots to Augusta County, VA. My branch went to North Carolina, then to Tennessee. If you have a Ancestry membership look me up as Kathy Paulus. I’m willing to share info on findings and theories.
I also have DNA results on Ancestry.com. I find that their site is much better than most in estimating ethic backgrounds, especially in the latest updates. My husband knows where several branches of his family came from for the last 500 years, (well documented), and his results match the documentation, in one case within a hundred mile radius. The rest matches pretty “darn” close. (I expect you understand “darn”, being from KY.) Since all branches of my family have been in the US for the last 400 years, I get a tight circle in the corner where VA, NC, TN and KY meet, with Scotland, England, Ireland, and Germany, and a few others thrown in there. My sister had Welsh in her results which I do not, but we are mainly Scottish and English.
