| Biography |
- John Abbott Bundick Sr, who was named for his maternal grandfather, inherited 200 acres from his father George in 1764, "on the seaside where I now live." This tract was in the northern part of Parkers Neck, part of the first Richard Bundick patent of 1664, the 200 acres he gave his son Richard in 1677 and that Richard (II) left son George in 1731. John Abbott Bundick and his nephew, Richard Bundick, had been given the 100 acres called Robins Hole Swamp by his parents in 1755. John Abbott Bundick sold no land in his lifetime, except for 200 acres his son, John Abbott Bundick Junr (with wife Nancy and mother-in-law Mary Dix), deeded him on 22 Feb 1779 (Acc Co Deeds, 1777-1783, p. 113), land that he deeded back to his son the next day (Acc Co Deeds, 1777- 1783, p. 127). This was evidently a transaction to clear the title to the land. John Abbott Bundick made his will on 13 Jul 1780 and it was recorded 30 Mar 1784. His will was a long one. He left his home plantation of 200 acres to his son George Bundick. He left his swamp land and marsh to sons John Abbott Bundick and William Bundick (unmarried). He left his wife Bridget household furniture, "200 weight of meat" and livestock. He left furniture to other of his children, but son George seems to have inherited most of his personal property including livestock, a still and "1/3 my fishing boat." Negroes were to be divided "equally amongst all my children." He also named a grandson as John Bundick, son of George (Acc Co Wills, 1780-1784, p. 480). John Abbott Bundick's residual estate was divided among his heirs on 25 Nov 1785. As his widow, Bridget received 1/3, amounting to 104 pounds 14 shillings 1 1/4 pence. Sons John Bundick and William Bundick received a like amount, as did Thomas Lillaston, Parker Barnes, Archibald Barnes, and Richard Hickman. These four men had married John Abbott Bundick's four daughters. Son George Bundick was not named in this division (Acc Co Wills, 1784-1787, p. 269). An item of interest is that on 1 May 1783, the Acc Co Court made a list of persons who had supplied Revolutionary War forces or persons "Impressed for Continental Purposes." Among those listed are John A. Bundick Senr "for carting 25 bushels oats 17 miles" at a cost of 7 shillings 1 pence and John A. Bundick Junr for 150 bushels fodder at 4 shillings 4 pence (Acc Co Orders, 1780-1783, pp. 529 & 531). A complete transcription of the will of John Abbott Bundick Senr follows - In the name of God Amen, I, John Abbott Bundick of the County of Accomack being in good health of body and of sound and perfect memory I ordain this to be my last Will and Testament revoking all other Wills.
