[Sara Buntyn]

This post is very interesting to me, as my Buntyn branch originated in Pitt County, North Carolina, a neighbor to Edgecombe.

John/Joseph Buntyn (17 Sep 1765 – 06 Apr 1826, possibly South Carolina) married Elcy Averett/Everett (05 Jul 1773 – 09 Aug 1848, Georgia) before 1791 in NC (possibly Edgecombe, Martin, or Pitt Co. – record has not been located). [Elcy Everett Buntyn’s family Bible has his name as “Joseph Buntyn”, 1792 Pitt Co., NC, Warranty Deed (N: 231) has his name as “John Buntin”.]

Their known children:
1. Geraldus Buntyn (24 Aug 1791, NC – 20 Jul 1865, Tennessee). He served in the War of 1812.
2. Benjamin Buntyn (04 Feb 1801, NC – ca. 1857, Texas)
3. Amy Sarah Buntyn (09 Dec 1803 – 24 May 1856).
4. James Everett Buntyn (26 Jan 1806, South Carolina – 25 May 1880, Mississippi)
5. Joseph Everett Buntyn (12 Feb 1809, SC – 26 May 1894, GA) [MY LINE]
6. Sally Everett J. Buntyn (12 Jan 1811 – 17 Sep 1827)

Elcy Averett/Everett was a daughter of James Averett/Everett (ca. 1755, NC – ca. 1822, Edgecombe Co., NC), who owned property in Martin Co., NC 1787-1810.

I have not been able to link my John/Joseph Buntyn to the other Buntin/Bunting/Buntyn families in this region of North Carolina, but I am certain he was related to them.
