"Bundy family background

Bundy had argued in court that his "Mormon ancestors began working the land in the 1880s".[56][57] Bundy's father was born in Arizona in 1922.[58] Bundy's maternal family had some connection to Bunkerville after his ancestor, Dudley Leavitt, a Canadian who moved to Utah.[59][c] After marrying wives in Utah in 1853, 1855, 1859, 1860, and 1872[59] and selling his Gunlock, Utah property, he moved to Bunkerville, Nevada. The original location he settled was south of Mesquite, 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) northeast of present Bunkerville. The community was named after Edward Bunker, Sr., the leader of the group of 23 men (the United Order) that originally agreed to move west. All property was originally shared in common, which caused great strife within the community. The communal property was then divided up, with Dudley expressing displeasure at his small portion. He then moved from the community across the river to Mesquite by 1881. When the Virgin River flooded, he moved again and was contracted to carry mail across a 180 miles (290 km) round trip distance from St. George, Utah to St. Thomas, Nevada. He placed his five families in various locations along his route. Mary Jane Leavitt's family was kept at Leavittville, Arizona.[60]

Another ancestor of Cliven Bundy was Myron Abbott.[59][d] He left Ogden Canyon, Utah to join Bunker, his brother-in-law through his sister Emily, in forming the United Order at Mesquite, serving as teacher of the workers and as the second counselor to Bunker who was made bishop of the community.[61] Abbott then married Lemual Leavitt's daughter, Lovisa Leavitt, in 1878, and her half sister, Mary Matilda in 1881. After the United Order dissolved, Abbott spent his time plowing and tending farmland in addition to transporting salt from St. Thomas to Santa Clara.[62] His son, William Abbott, married Dudley Leavitt's daughter Mary Jane at the St. George Temple in 1890.[61] He traveled through the United States on Mormon missions and served as the bishop of the Mesquite Ward (1901-1927). William Abbott wrote the story of his family settling in Mesquite and his missions across the United States in The Story of My Life, an autobiography and family biograpy.[63] "
