30th - James BUNTING, of Burwell, Cambridge

James BUNTING, my 5th great-grandfather, was baptized March 30th, 1777, in Burwell, Cambridge. His parents were Robert Bunting and his wife Mary ROGERS, who both died in 1817.

Our earliest known Bunting ancestor was James' 4th great grandfather Richard, who was born circa 1584. Associated lines are THURNALL,YOUNGER, FABIAN, THOMPSON, and ROGERS

At the age of 24, James married, Susanna, widow of Thomas Gray in Burwell. Susanna was born in 1768 and had three children with her first husband. James and Susanna baptized three more children together. James Bunting died sometime prior to the 1841 census. At this point, we do not know his profession, but his grandfather was an Alehousekeeper and Victualar, so he may have continued in that vein.
