Morgan Bunting (1863-1929) was a member of Darby Monthly Meeting, Darby, Pa., and
descendent of Samuel Bunting, Sr. (1692-1759) who emigrated from England in the
early eighteenth century. Morgan was the son of Joseph and Emma (Cadwallader)
Bunting and received his education at the Friends School in Darby and graduated from
Friends Central School in Philadelphia in 1880. His family had deep roots in Darby
Monthly Meeting, but he was not a birthright member. In 1889, he became a member of
the Society of Friends on his own request and was active in many of the Society's
activities, including serving as Clerk of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Hicksite). An
architect by occupation, Bunting designed a number of structures for Swarthmore
College as well as the design for the Buck Hill Falls Inn in the Poconos. Although
he worked a general practice, many of his clients were fellow Quakers and Quaker
institutions. In addition, he had a great interest in Darby history and genealogy.
In 1891, he became a member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the
Genealogical Society of Philadelphia. Much of his life after this point was spent
conducting research on the history of the Bunting family and related families in the
Darby area. He routinely responded to many research requests of various Darby
families, and his correspondence and research is included in this collection. In
1906 he married Anna Miller Bunting (1859-1945) who was a distant cousin. Return to the Table of Contents
