We don’t know why Kenneth changed his name from Kenneth Lee Bundy to Kenneth Sherbondy. He was married six times. On some marriage / divorce documents, he indicated he indicated a fewer number of prior marriages than he actually had.
Kenneth Lee Bundy. Changed his name to Kenneth Sherbondy.
This is a situation where someone with no relation (or adoptee, etc) to Sherbondys changed his name to Sherbondy.
Kenneth was born in July 1908 as Kenneth Lee Bundy. He changed his name to Kenneth Sherbondy sometime before 1940. He used Kenneth Sherbondy in his 1940 military registration. He also used Kenneth Sherbondy in his marriage to Virginia Treutel. In both documents, he indicated he had “nmn” or “no middle name”. He used Sherbondy for the rest of his life.
We don’t know why Kenneth changed his name to Sherbondy. Before that, he used the name Robert Lee Bundy in 1926 in his marriage to Catherine A Smith. He used the name Lee Bundy in 1930 in his marriage to Lillian Koehler. He may have used the last name Lee because one of his wives had a daughter named Virginia Lee. He was married six times, per his divorce decree in 1969. We know five of his wives. On at least two of his marriage licenses, he indicated he was married fewer times than he actually was. We don’t know other names that he may have used.

Previously Unconnected Clans:
Henry Huston Sherbondy b. 1830 (Clan H) and Henry Harrison Sherbondy 1828-1884 (married Margaret Ann Sober) are the same person. The middle name Huston is on the birth record from the Denmark Manor Lutheran Church. The name (Henry) Harrison is only on the death certificate of his son David Harrison and in the family records of some descendants. These have now been combined into Clan H.
Rosannah Sabanda married Ezekiel Parker on 10 July 1828 in Portage County, OH per the marriage record recorded Sept 1828 . Rosanna Sherbondy Parker has been determined to be the youngest daughter of Melichor and Maria Sherbondy. Per review of the birth year sources and evidence of her living in Ohio (where 3 of Melichor’s sons were living after 1817) and concluding that Sarah was born before Rosanna (birth year calculations based on age at death show they were born 3 months apart, which is not possible), the conclusion is that Rosanna is also a daughter of Melichor and Maria. You can see her branch at Clan F.
