My name is Linda Theresa Bunton, born June 25, 1965 I was born in Savannah, Ga at St.Joseph hospital, which at this time the hospital was located on Drayton st. My father Lawrence Turner Bunton Jr was born May 2, 1922 My mother Gertrude Hardee she is from Frankfurt, Germany I do not know about her just that she is from here and had 3 other children Becky, Tommy & Carol. I do not know anything about her because she left when I was 6 months old & went back to Germany. She never really stayed in touch. Her lose. My dad was old when I was born, I am the youngest out of all his children. He had children from his 1st marriage. Everyone called my dad Buddy. He had a hard time raising me alone & some of the family tried helping him as much as they could. When I turned 6 years old he put me in a foster home, Do not want to go down that 7-year nightmare ( read my book). I hated it there. When I turned 13 he brought me home to never go back to that place.
My dad, Buddy loved to fish and pick up junk, he liked buying cars and fixing them to sell them. He painted the crosses on the Cathedral catholic church downtown Savannah when I was little. Everyone that knew my dad knew what he was about. My grandmother, dad's mom. Cecilia Josephine Collini Bunton gave the land to the church of St. James on Whitefield ave & Montgomery x rds. I have been trying to get them to do something at the church with her name on it because she was the reason they have that land for the church.
I have 2 children Jessica Ann, which was adopted when she was 5. Last time I heard anything she lived in Newnan, Ga not sure what name she goes by now. She was born March 24, 1986, she had a daughter when she was 16 her name is Amaris, that is really all I know about her. My other daughter Leana (Lena) Nicole Bunton Martin born on August 29, 1990.
