238/239 Bunting of Smalley

From the affectionate regard I entertained for Sam Bunting on old servant of my father’s in my younger days, as a kindly memorial I here insert all that I can find and ascertain concerning that family. They were well known in Smalley; but now are almost unknown and forgotten save by a few of the oldest inhabitants. They were a very industrious, blunt and humorous sort, and Sam in those days was a general favourite. He was particularly attached to me and when in New Zealand, named his second son "Charles Kerry" after his old friend in England. He left with his newly married wife for his distant home in the year 1852.
