According to an Ancestry article about Barack Obama's Bunch lineage, Mary (Bunch) Gentry was the daughter of James Bunch b ca 1724. James was the 8th child of John Bunch III, who was the son of John II, who was the son of John I, who was the son of John Punch. According to James' will, he gave his daughter Molly (Mary Polly) Gentry 100 acres adjoining his own land and the tract he gave Margery Harris (and had already given her a cow, calf, and feather bed). Descendants of John Bunch III, include Barack Obama's white mother, Stanley Dunham, who we believe was descended from David Bunch.
