If you read The Melungeons, The Resurrection of A Proud People, by Dr. Brent Kennedy (Mercer University Press, 1997) p.172, it has Bunch as a common surname. Also, Bunch is a surname listed by Walter Plecker, Virginia's first Registrar of Vital Statistics, as people of color "trying to pass as white". If you check out the Melungeon homepage, you will find much more info.Good luck.
