Profile for sister Darcus Hughson has a reference from https://www.englishlass.com/p68.htm#i2030 which stated she and Ellis had a daughter Ellen R. Hughson b. c 1820, d. b 1920 but she is not listed/enumerated in teh census with Ellis and Dorcas/Darcus and I thought she was misplaced but I see a daughter for the brother Burwell G Bunch. I think she is his child and therefore Darcus's niece. I will add her there as a profile has not yet been created for her.
You want Burl Bunch’s will. I believe, based on this story, that he was un married, and left his estate to his niece. It’s in his profile.

It is felt reasonably certain that the farm that was purchased by John in 1662 is the same farm that was owned by David Bunch, 1722-1776, and passed on to his heirs in his will. The farm referred to in the will was owned by Miss Audrey Hughson, a spinster in her sixties. She says that she is a descendent of the Bunches; therefore, the ownership of the farm is still in the family, this written in 1966. She states that the last Bunch to own the farm was a Burl Bunch, who died sometime prior to 1873. one does not find the name 'Burl' in the lineage; however, there is a Burwell Bunch, who was born 12/6/1798. There is evidence that he did own the farm that was previously owned by David Bunch, 1722-1776, and this gives credence to her statement. The story has been handed down through the family that Burwell, 1798, came in possession of the port of the farm that had previously belonged to his father, Paul Bunch, 1772-1802. And that Burwell then rode horseback out to Missouri, looked up his father's brothers, and purchased from them their interest in the Bunch farm. It is also to be observed that Burwell's sister, Dorcas, 1801, married Ellis G. Hughson, and that their daughter married David L. Bunch. Miss Hughson believes that she is related to Ellis G. Hughson, but doesn't know the connection. She has an old Hughson family Bible in which is recorded the birth, 1/12/1850, and death, 5/28/1850, of Sarah Ellis Hughson, which apparently is some descendent of Ellis. While Miss Hughson feels sure that she is related to this person, again, she does not know how. she tells how she came in possession of the farm, her mother was Bettie Lewis Sanders, and was reared in Palmyra, Virginia, and when she was a very small girl, she went to visit her relative, Burl Bunch; and while there one of his dogs bit her on the cheek, and it left a bad scar that remained with her the rest of her life. Burl regretted this very much, and in an effort to rectify the matter, he gave her the farm. Miss Hughson and her brother inherited the farm from their mother, and now that the brother is dead, Miss Hughson is the sole owner. She knows very little about their ancestors, and she is unable to explain what the relationship was between her mother and the Bunch family.
Here’s the source.

She states that the last Bunch to own the farm was Burl Bunch, who died sometime prior to 1873. One does not find the name "Burl" in the Bunch lineage; however, there ie a Burwell Bunch, who was born Decanber 6, 1798. He is shown near the bottom of the fourth generation on the lineage sheet attached to page 68 hereof.

Is he the same as Burwell G. Bunch that I created today while working on my DNA match’s Dorcas?
I had to take a break. So sorry.
Erica Howton, I almost deleted this Discussion today lol because I had not completed the other profile and I am so glad I did not.
I will work on it again tomorrow. They have really taxed me, my Grandma Ossie’s people. I hope she is smiling and cheering me on in that great cloud
