Seeking earlier generations of the BUNTON/BUNTEN and OTTERSON families. The
earliest date that I have is the marriage of Robert BUNTON on 8 Dec 1737 in
Haverhill,MA to Martha OTTERSON.(VR 2:48) I have the birth of one of their
children occuring there also;Andrew,b.8 Sept 1738(VR 1:51). I have not as
yet found the origins of the two families. Someone suggested that both
BUNTON/BUNTEN and OTTERSON are Scottish surnames.
Does anyone have any information on possible parent/ancestors;birth/death
dates places for the couple and any further children,other
thanAndrew(mentioned above),Richard(b.abt 1739),Mary
BUNTON(b.abt1740),John(b.abt1756).Robert BUNTON Sr.'s will was administered
in 1761
To carry it down one more generation:
John(1756)married about 1776 Elizabeth WEBSTER
Children:Robert,Mary,Sarah,John,Samuel,Andrew,Elsie,Anne,Burnha
m,Jenny and
James.

Andrew(1738)married about 1758 Janet OTTERSON(GOSS?)
Children:Martha,Elzabeth,James,Robert,Ann,Jane,Sarah and Andrew Jr.
Andrew was killed at the Battle of White Plains,28 Oct 1776

Mary(abt 1740)married about 1760 Bow,Rockingham Co.,NH Samuel
ALEXANDER (Possibly a son of Randall
ALEXANDER of London- derry,NH)
Children:at least one child, Martha b.1761

Richard(abt1758)married bef 1779 Mary(poss BROWN) in Plymouth or
Plaistow,NH
Children:Betsy b.1778,Caty b.178_,Marhey(Martha?)b.1782 and
Robert b.1785

Any earlier information on Robert and
Margaret(OTTERSON)BUNTON/BUNTEN(they for some
reason may turn up as BOYNTON's,I am unsure why) Likewise on any further
children of the
couple or grandchldren would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks
