The name Robert was very popular in the Bunts family and it was often confusing because there were lots of "Robert Bunts' " even in the same town. Even though my great grandfather was officially Robert the III, he became known as "Robert Jr."
He was a busy and popular guy, judging be this information:
Excerpts from History of Virginia, Virginia Biography, Vol VI, pgs. 621-622, 1924:
"He is an uncompromising democrat, and a loyal and sincere member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and has been one of its stewards for over twenty years. Well known in Masonry, he belongs to Pythagoras Lodge No. 239, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Pulaski; Pulaski Chapter No. 39, Royal Arch Masons; Lynn Commandery No. 9, Knights Templar, of Marion, Virginia; and Kazim Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of Roanoke, Virginia. He is also a member of Pulaski Lodge No. 1067, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and is president of the Kiwanis Club of Pulaski."
