Over the past few years I have received emails from lots of different Nunez / Eunice family members that I have shared with others. So I thought it would be helpful to be able share with as many people who are interested all new developments, finds, questions, etc.
Hopefully we all will find this blog interesting.

Jerry, thanks for getting this set up! I am excited about meeting other descendants of Dr. Samuel Nunez from Savannah, GA.
Thanks Carol, I am still working on finding out where Hugh Nunez is buried. According to one source ( and you may have the same info) his father is also buried at the same place:
4. DANIEL SHARPE NUNEZ, b. ABOUT 1775 in VIRGINIA, d. 00 ___ 1815 in WAYNE Co GA, buried in STAFFORD'S FERRY WAYNE Co GA. HIS NAME WAS CHANGED FROM SHARP TO DANIEL SHARP NUNEZ BY LEGISLATIVE ACT OF GA LEGISLATURE 12/3/1805. BROUGHT FROM VA TO GA AT AN EARLY AGE. LIVED IN CHATHAM, CAMDEN AND WAYNE Co GA. HIS WILL WAS PROBATED IN CAMDEN Co GA 11/11/1819 FOUR YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH. AFTER HIS DEATH SONS HUGH & DANIEL WERE PLACED IN THE CHARGE OF ALLEN JOHNSON WHO WAS APPOINTED THEIR GAURDIAN 8/7/15. PWGG Vol 5 P 320. Married ABOUT 1795 in WAYNE Co GA, NANCY -----, b. ABOUT 1778.
Does anyone have any input as to if Mary Sharp was an Indian. I understand Daniel and Mary were traders at Trader Hill. It has been suggested that maybe they couldn't get married because she was Indian. Any thoughts?
By- J. Barney Nunez:
Daniel Nunez died 1784 in Camden County, Georgia
Wife - Mary, Thought to have come from Florida, but was born in Georgia. Crossed the St. Mary’s river at Traders Point, where they were trading hides and furs for cloth and clothes, coffee, tobacco, whiskey, and other things.
I believe it was Samuel Nunez and Mary Sharp who were parents of Daniel Nunez. Daniel's wife was Nancy. I have long believed however that Mary Sharp was most likely of mixed heritage of black and or indian.
