Taylor died testate in 1851, owning 1,009 acres, which included Mount Wharton (Whitelaw, pp. 1244/5). It seems likely that William Justice was living on this land and that he and William Bundick were both farming for Taylor. On the back of a picture of William J. Bundick it states that "he was hired out to farm work at $10.00 a year." His granddaughter, Lena (Bundick) Trader, said that he walked most of the way from New York to Accomack County when he was still under age 21. Since he was in the Assawoman area in 1850 and since hie three oldest children were born in near Assawoman, it is assumed he was old enough to remember some of his Accomack County relatives if his parents did not move to New York until the middle or late 1830's, and that he returned to Accomack County to live among his parents' people after his father's death in New York circa 1845..³ He married Elizabeth Seymour Baker on 14 December 1853 at Accomack Co, VA.

It was bordered on the southwest by lands of Samuel Dix, northwest by Wallops Road (present-day U.S. 13) and northeast by the Market Road leading from Modest Town to Guilford (present-day Nelsonia Road). In 1859 this area apparently had no name. It later came to be called Helltown, which was changed to Nelson Park in 1882 and to Nelsonia by 3 Feb 1883. The tract was rectangular in shape, the greater length running southwest (roughly south) along present-day U.S. 13 from the stop-light in Nelsonia, and the smaller side extending from the stop-light towards Modest Town. Apparently, William J. Bundick did not move his family here until after the 1860 census was taken.

William Parks, a son-in-law, was also in the household.. William was listed with another family in the cenus of in 1900 at Accomack Co, VA.

Family notes indicate that he had a disagreement with his daughter Lacy after his wife died, at which time he moved from his home place to live with his daughter Oceanna Bloxom (about the time he sold his home?). The same records indicate that his other children divided his estate with their sister..⁶ William sold land on 17 August 1904 at Accomack Co, VA. The deed showed that he sold his son, William T.
