But by the 1930 and 1940 census' there were no Bundys living in Bunkerville. Obviously the grandparents either left or died.CaféAuLait;8979096 said:They were not living in Bunkerville according to the census, so for all YOU know they were pushing up daisies.
Yet, his grandparents helped 'settle' Bunkerville, sounds like there is a lot more to this story than even those trying to discredit him want to admit. They were also homesteading and raising cattle a few miles away...

They were living right next door in Mesquite, as the article I quoted above says.... their cattle were probably grazing the same places being so close. Bundy claims he has ancestral rights to the Virgin Valley.
Mesquite, where his grandparents were living in 1901 and grazing cattle in smack dab in the center of Virgin Valley, his mother was born in the middle of that Valley in 1924.
The Virgin Valley is about 25 miles (40 km) long. Upstream in the valley's northeast, Littlefield, AZ is located at the exit of the Virgin River Gorge, as well as two outfalls from two washes that flow south from the Beaver Dam Mountains. Mesquite, NV is downstream, and on Interstate 15 in Nevada, about 10 miles (16 km). Mesquite is the approximate center of the valley.

The station reported census records show Bundy’s maternal grandmother, Christena Jensen, was born in Nevada in 1901, and records suggest she later helped settle Bunkerville, where her grandson lives.
No Bundys lived in Bunkerville according to 1930 and 1940 U.S. Census records, but the rancher’s maternal grandparents, John and Christena Jensen, homesteaded a few miles away, in Mesquite, where his mother was born in 1924.

Mesquite, where his mother was born and his grandparents lived in 1901. There are most likely records for them as well, which will most likely show they lived there before 1901, not to mention it states his grandmother helped settle Bunkerville .
