Married Mary Boswell, daughter of William Boswell and Margaret Nicholson. Children: Millicent, Miriam, Ruth, David, Zadock, William, John, Ruth, Mary
Dempsey Bundy is said to have married Mary Boswell in 1754, but his birthdate of 1746 makes that date suspect. Their oldest child was born 1769 so we presume the marriage date should have read 1764. Dempsey and Mary had seven children; Millicent was born 1769, Ruth born 1773, David born 1775, Miriam born March 1777 and Zodock born September 1777, William born 1780 and John born 1782.
In 1787 Dempsey moved his family from the Perquimans-Pasquotank area to the northern part of Wayne County, NC. The Contentnea M.M. minutes show he joined that year. He is in Wayne Co. land records there as early as 1789, and in 1792 he bought 300 acres adjoining his own land. The four counties of Wayne, Johnson, Nash and Edgecombe all met at a point near Dempsey's land. Dempsey's son, David, married Damaris Horn in the Holly Springs M.M. in 1797 and in 1798 Dempsey gave Wayne Co. land to David.
When Dempsey died in 1798, his sons David and Zodock were executors of his Will. The brothers sold much of Dempsey's land as well as most of David's. Their brother William then moved with his wife, Sarah Overman, to Belmont Co., Ohio. Millicent and Zodock moved with their spouses to Grayson Co., Virginia, but in 1815 Zodock moved his family to Butler Co., Ohio.
