Benjamim's son, also Captain Benjamin Bunbury, of Johnstown, was born in 1772. In 1798, he married his first cousin, Emily Bunbury, daughter of Rev Thomas Bunbury, rector of Ightermurrogh. Benjamin and Emily were parents of Benjamin Bunbury of Johnstown (1800-7th May 1872) who lived at Noremount, County Kilkenny, and was married in 1827 to Elizabeth Baker, daughter of Richard Baker of Ballydavid. He is assumed to have been the Captain Benjamin Bunbury who inherited lands in Counties Kilkenny and Tipperary via a Maria Doran (or her husband?), including Croghtabeg, aka "the house and lands of Littlefield", near Ballaghtobin, County Kilkenny. They had five children, of whom their eldest son, another Benjamin, moved to Sydney in 1853 and was the great-grandfather of Peter Bunbury. It is thought that Benjamin and Elizabeth left most of his estate son to his second son Ralph Hall Bunbury who subsequently purchased Lismacue in Bansha, County Tipperary.

Benjamin married Emily BUNBURY, daughter of Rev. Thomas BUNBURY and Jane GREENE, in 1798 in Cashel, Tipperary, Ireland. (Emily BUNBURY was born in 1777 ¹.)
