     The parents of this John H. Stant are unproven. He was living with Samuel J. Stant and his wife Mary E. in the 1850 Census.

This was 4 years before the marriage and Samuel would have been only 16 and Mary only 14 years old. Pending other proof, he is being shown as the son of John Stant and his wife Margaret Ann (widow of Richard Bull) who were married in 1839. Neither of his possible parents have been found in the 1850 census and it is assumed he was living with relatives. John was born circa 1844 at Accomack Co, VA.² John was listed with another family in the census of in 1850 at Accomack Parish, Acc Co, VA. He was shown as John H.

However, it is possible that in the later Census some of those listed above as children may have been grandchildren or other relatives living with him.

Local records continued to call this man George Bundick, when the census of 1870 gave his age as 25, an unmarried head of a household in St. George Parish, and that of 1880, which indicdates he was born in 1846 and shows him head of a household in Lee District. His tombstone in Assawoman Methodist Church Cemetery, gives his name as Geroge H. Bundick, his birth in 1848 and death in 1884. Since his remains had to have been moved to Assawoman, perhaps the birth date on his tombstone is inaccurate. However, his family has a framed memorial honoring him which gives his birth as 31 May 1848 and death as 24 May 1884. His Acc Co marriage record shows him as aged 24 years in 1871 (b.c. 1847) and being married on 14 Dec 1871, while family records show the marriage was on 14 Dec 1870. Family members report that his children were born near Tasley. On 24 Dec 1883, George Bundick bought 100 acres of land from Sallie E. Slocomb of Worcester Co, MD, for $1200 (Acc Co Deed Bk 56, p. 318). He gave Mrs. Slocomb a bond for $100 on the same day, putting up the land as collateral (Ibid., p. 319). This farm was "near the village of New Church, on the road to Horntown," bordered on the south by the road, on the west by William H. Marshall's land, and on the east by Solomon Marshall's heirs. This is the present home farm of William C. Carey Jr. On the same day, Sallie E. Slocomb sold to James E. Justice, land on the opposite side of the road, land presently owned by H. Robert Tull (Ibid., p. 316). James E. Justice had married Elizabeth T. Satchell in 1869. His wife and George Bundick's wife were sisters. Mr. George Bundick, son of George, died on 10 May 1884, at 36 years of age, leaving a widow, Margaret (Acc Co Reg. of Deaths, 1853-96). George Bundick was an industrious farmer and very worthy citizen, who died at his home near Drummondtown (present-day Accomac) on 24 May 1884, aged about 40 years (Pen. Ent., 31 May 1884). On 10 Feb 1886, Alfred J. Lilliston, administrator of George H. Bundick, deceased, paid to Sally E.
