There are two Gundry families which are thought to have links with the Bartletts. Research is ongoing.
Tarrant Rawston Gundry's.
By 1731 Thomas Gundry came into the property and he is credited with building the brick, stones and flint front of Rawston House. The centre part is older and the rear western façade later. Some features of the front eastern part suggest that the Bastard brothers, who lived at Tarrant Keynston for a while, contributed to the design. Radford Gundry, thought to be a cousin of Thomas came into the property in 1773 and on his death in 1778 aged 67 it came to his elder brother Thomas who died in 1805. The Gundry family came from Dewlish.

Notes from the Wiltshire County Council Web Site -
The seventeenth century saw buildings continuing to be erected in the High Street such as Seend Lodge, The Manor house, Bell Hill Cottages and Seend Green House (residence of John Sumner, friend of John Aubrey) with its walled garden, summerhouse, stable block and coach house. Opposite is Horse Pond and Edward Cook’s smithy (on the corner of what still is Cook’s Lane).Greenhayes House has a 17th century core and may have been the White Hart Inn in 1690. Most of the 17th century houses were re-faced with brick in the 19th century. A Pound in Seend Green had been there since the 17th century, but is not there now.
The 19th century saw six farmhouses built in Seend: Seend Hill Farm, Turner’s Farm, Marsh Farm (Seymour Lodge), Seend Farm/Sumner’s (Vicarage), Manor Farm and Malthouse Farm.
There was a Mill in Seend from the 13th century and the broad cloth trade was the principle one in the village in the 15th century. Western Wiltshire was one of the main manufacturing areas it the country. Summerham Brook powered the water mills. Other village craftsmen in the 17th century were weavers, fullers, tucker, shearman and tailors, still largely having a connection with the wool trade. The trade began to decline in the early 17th century and lead to a lack of jobs for weavers. Three Seend weavers were prosecuted for rioting when corn was being collected at Seend Green. The villagers saw the grain but couldn’t afford to buy any. The weavers were imprisoned in Warminster gaol for a few days, and then put in the stocks for two hours. In 1647 Seend villagers joined others in the locality to make representations at the Quarter Sessions on the ‘miserable condition for want of work’. The industry recovered in the late 17th and 18th century. Clothiers became so rich that they began to own property, for example the Somner family. Weavers earned more than farm labourers and in 1797 income was spent on barley flour, yeast, salt, tea, butter, cheese soap, candles, thread, coals and garden vegetables. In 1814 the row of cottages next to the Methodist Chapel were leased and re-built to form workshops for the clothing trade, but by 1841 there were no weavers, finishers or spinners in Seend. Labourers fared poorly; a labourer living in the Melksham area in a house on ‘part of the waste’ that was in poor condition did not dare to ask the Parish to repair it in case they should claim it. The poor often moved to the Salisbury Plain area for better wages and more constant employment at that time.

81920 William SUMPNER (1535?- ) [2785]. Born 1535 (est). Marr Unknown <SUMPNER> 1559, Seend, Wiltshire.
After many generations, the family of 'Sumpner', 'Somner' and later 'Sumner' eventually became Clothiers in Seend. The following is a small exerpt from the parish history by John Chandler and is taken from his books ‘Marlborough and Eastern Wiltshire’ and ‘Devizes and Central Wiltshire’
'The Seend clothiers created dynasties – Dugdale, Sumner, Awdry, Usher – which intermarried with each other and with similar families from elsewhere. They rose to the status of gentry and built the remarkable series of fine houses which now line the village street. The elaborate monuments to the dead inside the church complement the elaborate houses – Seend House, Cleeve House, Seend Green House, the Manor House – in which they had lived. Some returned to the artisan level of craft weavers from which they had originated. The clothiers controlled the weavers, spinners and other craftsmen, who worked in more modest cottages and small houses, perhaps with workshops attached. It is the survivors among these that give Seend Cleeve its character.'.

It is generally considered that the FEW family originated from Wiltshire, UK, and the father of Jeffery, Thomas, Richard and Eydith Few is likely to be the first in the family since records began. His estimated date of birth is about 1550.
Records show that the 'original' Few's all lived in a group of nearby villages, and currently the connection between William Few 1599 of Market Lavington (who was the start of the American Few ancestry) and the Few's who remained in Wiltshire, is not known. Everything points to William possibly being the son of Jeffery Few c1575, however records show him as being born in the nearby village of Market Lavington and not Bishops Canning where Jeffery was born, but he could have moved - just a few miles away. A second brother, Thomas, married 3 years after William's birth so may not be a contender, and a third brother, Richard, had children born in Bishops Canning either side of William's birth date of 1599, so his family was less likely to have moved to Market Lavington.
For the purposes of creating 'a link' until more information is available, William is shown in this tree as the son of Jeffery c1575.
More research is needed.

Div 1875, London. 41 St. Andrews Hale, Carter Lane, London. Cause: Cruelty and Adultery. Apparently she had left him once because of his abusive behaviour, then returned, but he did not mend his ways and she left again to seek the protection of friends because of his threats. (She also claimed he had willfully given her VD according to a side note made by one of the judges). Died 8 Jul 1881, Bristol (Westbury-on-Trym). Cause: Meningitis. He died in the Bristol Royal Infirmary. Buried 12 Jul 1881, Bristol (Shirehampton).
In 1861 he was a crew member on board 'Her Majesty's Ship James Watts'. He was 18 years old and 'Boy 1st.Class'.
In 1866, the year of his wedding to Eleanor, he was living at 15 Little Knight Rider Sreet and working as a clerk.
In 1867 the family were living at 20 Arthur St, North St. Giles, then 25 Foley Street, Marylebone, New Oxford St. Later they lived in Bow St., Covent Garden, Elizabeth St., Hackney Rd., and Aldersgate, all in London.
On the 1871 census George was living at 42 Deverill Street, Newington, Southwark with Elizabeth Margaret Kerr aged 21.
In 1872, on a daughter’s birth certificate George was with Elizabeth Margaret Kerr. They were living at 1 Roberts Place, Newington and George was a commercial clerk. However Elizabeth Margaret Kerr had married Amos Edward Chandler in the spring of 1867 in London. There is no record of Amos dying between 1867 and 1872, so it looks as if George and Elizabeth just ran off together and lived as man and wife.
In 1881 lived at Thatched Cottage, Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol with his wife 4 children. He was a Dock Labourer. He died that year.
Summary of events -
In 1866 George Kennett married Eleanor Lawrence in London.
In 1867 Elizabeth Kerr married Amos Chandler in London.
By 1871 George was living with Elizabeth Kerr in London and had a son by her.
In 1872 George and Elizabeth had a daughter.
In 1875 George had a son by Lucy Palethorpe in Cardiff. This son was raised as one of Elizabeth's.
In 1875 Eleanor devorced George on grounds of cruelty and adultery.
In 1876 he had a son in Bristol by Elizabeth Kerr.
So far no record has been found showing Amos's death or his divorce from Elizabeth, so all George and Elizabeth's children, and one from Lucy Palethorpe, were illigitimate and there is no marriage record for George and Elizabeth.
Another researcher provides these comments -
George Hilton Kennett first married Eleanor Lawrence at the Parish at the Parish Church of St. Mary Magdelene, London on 16 October 1866, four days after his sister Charlotte's wedding. Eleanors father was an umbrella manufacturer. George was living at 15 Little Knight Rider Sreet at the time and working as a clerk. John Kennett witnessed the wedding.
In 1867 the family were living at 25 Foley Street, Marylebone, London.
In 1872, on a daughters birth certificate, George was living with Elizabeth Margaret Kerr, not to Eleanor, and they were living at 1 Roberts Place, Newington. George was a commercial clerk.
Elizabeth was born in Poole, Dorset.
A further researcher gives these notes -
Eleanor, George Hilton Kennett's wife, living at 41 St. Andrews Hale, Carter Lane, in the city of London, divorced George in 1875 on the grounds of cruelty and adultery. Apparently she had left him once before because of his abusive behaviour, then returned, but he did not mend his ways and she left again to seek the protection of friends because of his threats. (She also claimed he had willfully given her VD - according to a side note made by one of the judges). The adultery was supposed to have been committed by him with a Lucy Palethorpe at 242 Bute St., Cardiff. This address was also given for the birth of his son Frank, but this son was listed on the census as one of George and Elizabeth’s sons, born in 1875. He does not appear in the birth registers.
There seems to be no record of a marriage for George and Elizabeth Margaret Kerr after 1875 (the year of his divorce from Eleanor) so the 4 children he had with Elizabeth (and/or possibly with Lucy Palethorpe), were therefore illigitimate.
The court ordered George to pay Eleanor £26 costs. Alimony of £30 a year. The costs then rose to £42 in 1876. In January 1877 there was an order for George to pay 10/- a month. It seems that George and Elizabeth simply moved to Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol so they could not be found, as he did not obey the court order.
In 1881 the couple were living at Thatched Cottage, Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol. Elizabeth was 29 years old. George was working as a dock labourer at Bristol Docks according to the census, but he could still actually have been a clerk checking goods etc. In 1891 Elizabeth, was a 'widow' and working as a milliner and dressmaker, and refered to as Margaret Kennett.
