I have a listing I got from the Chowan county courthouse that lists the marriage bonds of 3 Elijah Bunchs and 1 Elisha.

Elijah and ann parrish married Aug. 26 1794

Elijah ( says son of Elisha and absilla) and Eliza blanchard married nov. 4 1867

Elijah bunch jr and penelope Avery 24 nov 1838

Elisha Bunch and Absala Goodwin married march 2 1830

So I'd say it looks like Elijah who married ann is the SR

Question do you know anything on the children of Elijah jr?

Hope it helps ---- Raymond
