The 1830 Hardin County Federal Census record enumerating William Bunger can be viewed below:

Transcribed: Males under 5 (1) Henry Males 20-29 (1) William Bunger Females Under 5 (2) Sarah and Barbara Females 20-29 (1) Elizabeth


The 1840 Hardin County Federal Census record enumerating William Bunger transcribed below:

Males under 5 (1) William T. Males 5-9 (2) John and Samuel Males 10-14 (1) Henry Males 30-39 (1) William Bunger Females under 5 (1) Mary Jane Females 10-14 (1) Barbara or Sarah Females 30-39 (1) Elizabeth
Note:
4 Slaves are also enumerated in the household in 1840. 
  The census record above does not include both Sarah and Barbara Bunger in the household though they both married after 1850.  

The 1850 Meade County Federal Census record enumerating William Bunger can be viewed below:


Note:
Henry Bunger united to Lucinda Howey on January 3, 1850 Hardin County, Kentucky.
 
 
The parentage of Elizabeth Neff remains unproven.  A George Neff is enumerated in Hardin County Kentucky in 1820 with a female 10-15 years of age in his household.  George Neff united to Sally Cole August 14, 1806 Mercer County, Kentucky.  Sally Cole is censused in 1830 as Sarah Cole age 40-49.  She is household head and living in close proximity to the Bungers in Hardin County, Kentucky.  George Neff is researched to have died in 1829.  William and Elizabeth Bunger offer their first born daughter the given name Sarah.  The available records do not confirm the parents of Elizabeth Neff, though likely to be George Neff and Sarah Sally Cole.  

William G. Bunger died in Garrettsville, Meade County, Kentucky on February 22, 1877.  It is possible the middle initial G. represents his mother's maiden name of Garrett.  He is buried in The Bunger Cemetery off of Bunger Road.  William G. Garrett was just shy of 76 years old at the time his death occurred.

 William G. Bunger
can be viewed below:


His grave marker reads:

"Sleep on dear father sleep,
Thy family mourns your loss,
around thy silent grave we weep,
all covered over with moss.
Blessed are the dead that die in Christ"
