| Anecdote |
- Whitelaw indicates his first home was on the south side of Gargatha Landing Road, behind present-day Arcadia Nursing Home, where the remains of an old house on the property, which once had a brick end, had bricks marked "W N Bundick 1797." It is believed that the initials are for William, son of "Piper" and his wife Nancy Mears. It could have been moved there. Kirk Mariner, in an article in the 9 Feb 1994 issue of (UND:)The Eastern Shore News(:UND), shows a picture of William Bundick's later home that was moved to near Huntingtontown, MD, in 1971 and restored. Mariner locates the original site of this house on the east side of U.S. 13, at Littleton Road, south of Nelsonia. This study would place it nearer to Arcadia Nursing Home, and the family burial plot.

- He left land called "Conquest's" and "Taylor lot" to grandchildren, John Hope, William Hope and Elizabeth Hope, after the death of their mother, Molly Pettit. He also left them "the tract of land and mill attached called by me Hinman's" and "the store houses and lot in Drummond (Town)." He gave to daughter Molly Pettit one half his personal estate and half his slaves. He gave his grandson William B. Jacobs and his mother Nancy Mears, "my daughter," the other half of his personal estate and slaves. He left his daughter Nancy Mears "the farm whereon I now live with all the land adjoining the same" and at her death it was to go to her son William B. Jacobs. Grandson William B. Jacobs was also to inherit the farm "lying at the head of Gargatha Creek called Savage's," the house and lot and store house and lot in Modest Town and other land near Modest Town. He left his silver spectacles to daughter Nancy Mears and his wearing apparel to grandson William Hope. He gave granddaughter Mary Pettit $200. James W. Custis and grandson William B. Jacobs were named executors and William Bundick signed his will with his mark. He added a codicil on 23 Dec 1844. This dealt with requiring grandson William B. Jacobs to pay back money he had been loaned before inheriting under the will and stipulated that grandson Gillett Mears was to receive $200.
