THE BUNKER FAMILY.
1. VALENTINE ESTABROOKS BUNKER was the son of Nathaniel and Ednah ( Woodward) Bruker, of New London, and there b., on the original Colby place, Feb. 13, 1811. His grandfather, Benjamin Bunker, was a native of Barnstead, early emigrated to Lee, and thence, for his final settlement, to New London. (The family is probably descended from George Bunker, of Charlestown, Mass., free- man, 1634, d. 1658, whose son, Benjamin, graduated at Harvard Col- lege, 1658; was minister in Malden, Mass., and d. Feb. 3, 1670.) Ile [1] received his education at the old New Hampton Institute ; taught school in Orange, in 1837; there commenced to preach ; was ordained (June 20, 1838), and continued as a preacher less than two years. Moving to Ohio, he gathered a Baptist church, and helped build a meeting-house at Mechanicsburg, laboring in and near that place six years ; then at Big Darby ( Madison and Franklin Counties), two years; West Jefferson, Clark Co , as a home missionary, two years ; and at Quiney, O., five years. Ile returned to New Hamp- shire in 1857, and having supplied the Union Church at Wihnot one year, and officiated, as pastor, at Sutton five years, he commenced his labors with the 3d Baptist Church of this town (Pine Ilill) in 1865, continued till 1870, and resumed them in 1875, as the present pastor (1880), having meanwhile been settled over the 2d (Bay) Baptist. Church, 1870-73, and at Enosburg, Vt., for two and a half years. In nearly all these immerous fields Mr. Bunker has been blessed with revivals of religion, some of them of great power; he has baptized about 150 individuals on the profession of their faith.

THE BURLEY, OR BURLEIGH, FAMILY.
The orthography of Burley was earliest employed in Sanbornton, and is most common now among the descendants in town, thoughi Burleigh is claimed by some as the more ancient, and is far more gen- erally in vogue in other places. ( Burghley, the " castle on the moor," prevailed before Queen Elizabeth's day.) The race, as a whole, has been distinguished for solid physical as well as superior mental endowments. It might, indeed, be styled, by a yet briefer spelling, the Burly race. as four brothers, named below [15, 16, 19, 21], i. e., Joseph, Nathaniel, David, and Daniel, were weiglied ou one occasion together, giving the goodly aggregate of 900 pounds !
1. GILES' BURLEY and Elizabeth, his wife, were the carliest ances- tors of the Sanbornton families of this name in the conutry, being inhabitants of Ipswich, Mass., in 1648 (see Burley Genealogy). Their second son :
2. JAMES?, b. Feb. 10, 1659, d. in Exeter, about 1721.
3. JOSEPH3, second son of the last, b. April 6, 1695 ; removed to New Market with an ancestor of the Hersey family (see), being attracted by the oak and ash timber, and there d., his estate being administered March, 1761. Ilis children, b. in New Market and con- nected with Sanbornton, were these :
4. JOSEPH [8], who must have been considerably the oldest, though not in town so early as his brothers. .
5, 6. NATHANIEL [13]. DAVID [23].
7. SUSANNAN, who accompanied her brother [13] to this town, and d. Nov. 16, 1823.
Besides these four were :
74. JEMINA, who m. James Hersey (see), and perhaps a third dau.
73. ALICE, whose Bible, received from her father, is now shown.
8. JOSEPH4 [4] (Joseph3, James2, Giles1), settled and made the first improvement on the north end of Lot No. 36, 1st Div., directly

north of his brother Nathaniel's, Calef Hill, there building the house opposite the late Dearborn place, afterwards occupied by Moses Silver (see Vacant Sites). He had come to town in 1781, but was not here in 1776. He m. Comfort Stevens (?), and d. Feb. 17, 1795. Children :
9. RHODA, b Nov. 25, 1750, in New Market; In. Daniel Gale (see).
10. KEZIAH, b. 1753, in New Market; m. Jotham Rollins (see).
11. STEVENS, b. Dee. 25, 1755, in New Market; settled with his father till the latter's death; theu moved to Gilford. He seems, in fact, to have preceded his father into Sauborntou, as his name appears upon the " Association Test " of 1776 as Stephens Burley, while his father Joseph's does not. Ile was also a Sanborntou soldier in the Revolution, enlisting for eight months, May 8, 1777, which must have included the Benuiugton battle aud Burgoyne cam- paign. He was m., by Rev. Mr. Woodman, to Abigail Taylor, of Gilmanton, Sept. 3, 1788, and of his eleven children. the oldest : - 1. Abigail, was b. in this town, Dee. 3, 1789; m. Ezekiel Robinson, June 30, 1812, aud d. June 20, 1809, in her Soth year.
12. ANNA, In. Bartholomew Gale, of Gilmautou, Sept. 15, 1785 ( Wood- mail).
(According to Charles Burleigh's Genealogy of the family, there were two other children of [8]; Comfort, who mn. John Taylor, and nuother dau., who m. - Palmer; but doubtful, see [27].)
13. NATHANIEL+ [5] (Joseph3, James2, Giles1), having m. Saralı Powell, settled, first, in New Market; was then for a few years in Canterbury, and came thence to this town in April of the third year after the first settlement, i. e., 1767, as reckoned by the age of his oldest son. They crossed the river at the Bridge, then covered with birch poles, a little east of the present Hill's Block. The mother rode horse- back with her two youngest children, one and a half bushels of meal, and the barnyard poultry, slung over their horse's back, in a straw bed-tiek, saddle-bag fashion, with " breathing holes for the birds," out of which their heads protruded ! while the father, with the two oldest boys, seven and six years of age, drove the two cows on foot ! In this style they presented themselves at a small log-cabin, previously built in what is now Mrs. Daniel Davis's orchard, southeast corner of Lot No. 35, 1st Div. The husband helped his wife to dismount, swing open the bark door, and politely said, " Walk in, ma'am"! The good lady both laughed and cried. Mr. Burley was a carpenter and joiner, having learned his trade in Chester. It is said that he received the fifty acres on which he located from the proprietors as the first houve carpenter in town, but there is no documentary evidence of this. (Se- Lots. ) Ile was obliged to go dowu-country the first two years to work for the means of subsistence, at one time bringing corn meal home on his back from Deerfield, a distance of forty miles. The cows meantime ran in the woods, and hay was gathered from the
