In the 1860 census (recorded 6/12) I found Harmon A BUNCE, age 21, b.OH, carpenter, with Richard age 51, b.NY, carpenter & Catherine J. age 46, b.NY. in Ravenna, Portage Co., OH. Also in the household were Mary O. age 16, b. OH, apprentice millner/at school w/in the year & Alexandra H. age 13, b. OH, at school w/in the year.

On 7/25/1860 Harmon BUNTS, age 22, b.OH,carpenter, is in Brimfield twnshp, Portage Co., OH, with Benjamin age 28, carpenter & Henrietta age 28, b.PA. Also in the household is Ermina (hard to read) female age 4, b.OH.

As Harmon A. Bunts dob was 7/16/1838 the age variance makes sense. Assume that in June he was in his Father's house, and that in July he was in his Brother's house.

Found in the Portage Co. Probate Ct. records: marriage of Henrietta McManis & Benjamin BUETS, 9/23/1854.

I can not locate Alexandra and Mary O. in 1870 or 1880; I assume they married & changed their last names. I have not found Richard & Catherine to date in the 1870 or 1880 census.

In 1870 Benjamin & Henrietta BANCE, are living in a rooming house in Akron, Summit Co.,OH --- Ermina. By 1880 Henrietta is widowed and living at the Infirmary in Portage twnshp, Summit Co., OH.

I am now searching for the household of Richard & Catherine in the 1850 census.
