     George Henry Bundick (II)'s father died in 1884, a few months after his 12th birthday. He was attending Horntown Methodist Church in 1891 and was baptised there in 1896. He and his wife, Maggie E. Bundick, were both attending Temperanceville Methodist Church in 1897 and she became a member there, by certificate, on 18 Jan 1900 (Downings Church Records). The 1900 Federal census shows this George Bundick as head of household number 357/360 in Atlantic District, aged 27 and a farmer, living on rented land. From the names of the neighbors, he was living in the Temperanceville area. His wife Maggie, born in Maryland, was also 27. They had been married two years, but had no children. His mother, Margaret Bundick was living with them, as were his brothers Calvin and William and sister Rennie Bundick. His 18-year-old sister-in-law, Mary "Dickerson" (Daneker?) was also living with them. On 22 Nov 1906, G.H. Bundick bought 225 acres of upland and 50 acres of marsh, known as the Onley farm, on the seaside near Assawoman, from George A.L. Winder and wife Millie A. for $5,000 (Acc Co Deed Bk 86, p. 363). The land was bordered on the north by T.H. Taylor and wife and S.A. Taylor, east by Bridge Gut, south by S. Wilkins Matthews and west by Nock Road (present-day Arbuckle Neck Road). The Census of 1910 shows George H. Bundick, age 37 and a farmer, and his family, living in household number 143/145, in Atlantic District on Arbuckle Neck Road. His wife Maggie was also 37. They had been married eleven years and had then had seven children, five of whom were living. His mother, Margaret Bundick, aged 56 and a widow, was living with them, as was his deceased brother William R. Bundick's widow, with her 3-year-old son. On 5 Mar 1928, George H. Bundick and wife Mary A. gave a deed to his brother, Calvin T. Bundick, for half his 275 acre tract near Assawoman (Acc Co Deed Bk 134, p. 272). This deed states that George H. Bundick had sold this half to brother, William R. Bundick, but after his death had bought it back and that Calvin T. Bundick had bought it on 20 Dec 1913 and had now paid for it in full. The remaining 131.63 acres was sold on 5 Jul 1930, after George's death, at the Drug Store in Temperanceville at public auction, by Warner Ames, Special Commissioner (Acc Co Deed Bk 139, p. 384). This land was labeled Tract B on a survey of Dec 1929 (Plat Bk 3, p. 66) and was purchased by Calvin T. Bundick for $8,000. Calving T. Bundick then owned the entire acreage. Calvin's home was on the western part of the land (Tract A) and George's home was to the east. When George H. Bundick bought the land in 1906, the eastern portion contained an old home, built circa 1800. This house is now gone, but parts of it were used by his great-grandson, Terry Thomas, in his home near Temperanceville. In Apr 1929, Mr. G.H. Bundick, of Assawoman, was critically ill at the home of his business partner, Mr. H.F. Ewell of Makemie Park, after suffering a stroke at his office there. He was known throughout the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Maryland, where he has been engaged in the produce business for the past twenty years (Pen. Ent., 27 Apr 1929). He died at Mr. Ewell's home on 26 Apr 1929, at 57 years of age. He was born at Tasley, but resided at Assawoman for a number of years. He was a very successful farmer and fertilizer dealer and one of the largest produce brokers in upper Acc Co. Besides his seven children, he was survived by his widow, three Fitzgerald stepchildren, and three grandchildren (Pen. Ent., 4 May 1929). George was born on 13 January 1872 at Accomack Co, VA.² He was the son of George Henry Bundick (I) and Margaret Hester 'Maggie' Satchell. He married Margaret E. 'Maggie' Daneker circa 1898 at Baltimore, MD.³ He married Mary A. Byrus circa 1923.⁴ George died on 26 April 1929 at age 57.² His body was interred at Assawoman, Acc Co, VA.²

     Family records show that Margaret E. Daneker was from Baltimore, MD, where her family owned Daneker Clock Works. She evidently married George H. Bundick in Baltimore, as no local record has been found. Mrs. Margaret E. Bundick died on 4 Aug 1921 and was survived by a brother, Mr. James Daneker; 3 sisters, Mrs. Robert Byrus, Mrs. Charles Andrews, and Mrs. Mary Miller, all of Baltimore (Pen. Ent., 13 Aug 1921). Margaret was born on 17 September 1872 at Baltimore, MD.² She was the daughter of (-----) Daneker. She married George Henry Bundick (II) circa 1898 at Baltimore, MD.³ Margaret died on 4 August 1921 at age 48.² Her body was interred at Assawoman, Acc Co, VA.²

     John Drewer/Drury son's death certificate indicates that his father's name was John "Drewer" and that the son, John W. Drewer, was born in Baltimore, MD, in 1847. In the 1880 Acc Co census his son, John W. Drewer, listed his place of birth as Maryland, but listed Virginia as the place of birth for both of his parents. A John "Drewer" is listed in the 1840 Census as a head of Family in the 8th Ward, Baltimore City, MD. One free white male was listed, age 30-40. Three free white females were listed: 1 age 30-40, 1 age 20-30, 1 under 5. The later could have been Rebecca Drewer, John W. Drewer's sister, who was about 3 years old at that time. The total was 4, with 1 employed in the manufacturing trade and 2 over 20 years of age not able to read or write. This implies that John Drewer was born between 1800 and 1810. Virginia is sighted as his place of birth, based on the information provided by his son in the 1880 Census. Matchett's Baltimore City Directory for 1840-41, p. 128, lists a "Drewer John, Shoemaker, 35 York St., W of Light." This is the only exact match of this spelling of "Drewer" in the Baltimore City Directories from 1835 to 1845. However, the Directory for 1837-38, p. 116, lists a "Drohn" John, Shoemaker, 39 Fayette St. Attempts to locate John Drewer on passenger and immigration lists, with this exact spelling of "Drewer" were unsuccessful. However, the following were found: (1) A book entitled "U.S. Dept of State Passengers Who Arrived in U.S., Sep 1821 - Dec 1823, from transcripts made by the State Dept," Baltimore Magna Carter Book Co, 1969, p. 155, lists a "Dewer," J., age 29, arriving in Baltimore, MD, in 1822, and (2) A book entitled "Passenger Arrivals at the Port of Baltimore, 1820-1834, from Customs Passenger Lists," Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc., Baltimore, MD, 1982, p. 132, also has the same listing, "Dewer," J., age - 29, sex - male, occupation - farmer, country to which they belonged - U.S.A., ship - Charles Sidney, dates of arrival - 30 Sep 1822 (quarter of year ending on this date). Also from this same source on p. 144, "Drayer," Johann, 25, male, farmer, Germany, 30 Sep 1833, and on p. 148, "Duir," Jno. G., 21, male, farmer, Germany, 30 Sep 1832. Some older members of the Drewer family tell stories about the father and mother of John W. Drewer and his sister Rebecca. One version is that their father, who was very well educated, came from England and met and married their mother, a beautiful, but uneducated girl from Cattail who was visiting relatives in Baltimore, MD. He frequented the city docks and one day went there and never returned. Another version is that he was a harness maker by trade and left Cattail to go to Baltimore on a boat to buy leather for his business and never returned. The only proven facts are that his wife, Susan "Drury," widow of "Drury," remarried William Russell in Acc Co in 1849 and her children, John W. and Rebecca "Drewer," were living with their step-father, William Russell, on Saxis in 1850 in the household of Gillet Marshall. The surname "Drury" has been found listed among Irish pedigrees.
