August 11, 2006 - a granddaughter of Warner Bundens Senior, sent me this email. I'm hoping someone in the local area can help her! Please reply directly to her email address found at the end of her note>>> Hello, I am just looking over your website looking for some family members that may still be in the area. Warner D.(Doc) Bundens, Sr. was my grandfather and chief of police for 35 years or so. My family moved to Salem county in the 1950's after living in Mt. Royal, Clarksboro and Mickleton till then. My grandmother made a dessert she called "cherry roly-poly" and I haven't been able to find it anywhere and when she made it I was too young to realize that I should get her recipe. I'm trying to do up a family recipe book for my children and their offspring. I used to think it was a German recipe since my great grandparents maternally were owners of a bakery shop in Philly, but I've come across something similar in old English recipes. My grandfather's mother was of English heritage I gather, so it may have come from her originally. They were Henry and Ellen Davenport Bundens and lived in the area. If anyone in your area knows of this recipe or know of any descendants of Christian and Rae Miller of Clarksboro, I'd appreciate any help. Rae was my grandfather's youngest sister and she may have a record of that recipe and others.
Sincerely, Loretta Rishel Smith in Efland, NC
[reply to: Sassco@embarqmail.com if you can help her]. [Also, please let me know when you help her, so I can delete this notice].
