Thanks for the reply. I had an old sampler - 1837 - it had the Bunts family history which I wanted to pass on to
a Bunts. I got a reply from someone in Frederick, Md. and
gave it to her.

thanks anyway

I am a Bunts family member whose lineage is from Wythe County VA,my ggggrandfather was probably John Bunts, shown in 1810 & 1820 censuses. No record of him or his spouse, Susannah appears in VA after 1821. The family unit seems to fit the 1830 Miami twnshp,Hamilton Cty. census listing. Can anyone furnish any details of this family after 1830?

Yes, I believe we are cousins. I believe you may have talked with my sister Kitty (Katherine Wilkinson). I am planning a trip to Ohio in Oct. I hope to gain some information from the venture. We have our Grand-father Reuben's journel he wrote in 1853 and 1854. I would like to talk with you sometime on the phone. Maybe we can get something worked out.

I believe this Elizabeth Bunce (Bunts or Buntz) married Isaac Trader of Ohio county, Indiana, in Boone Co. Ky, in 1854. Can anyone verify this? What was her relationship with this Dewey family? Does anyone have info on Charles or Sarah Dewey? I wonder if Sarah and Elizabeth were sisters.

Re: Dutch Reformed Church/ Bunts

JanetWise77 — 2006-11-18 00:19:46Z

Eli Easterwood was born in Ohio about 1832; nothing else known about his parents, siblings. Some Easterwoods came from Holland > NY or CAN. Name originally might have been Oosterhout. Some Easterwoods changed the name to Eastwood, but not Eli...census, military all say Easterwood. Have found Easterwood/Eastwood in censuses all across northern Ohio, but have not made the connection to Eli.

Connection to Bunts: Eli's wife, Mary Ann Trader, had a brother Isaac who married Elizabeth Bunts about 1854 in Kentucky just south of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Janet: I have no Easterwoods in my research notes of the Bunts family.
What part of the U.S. did the Easterwoods live in, and did they belong to a German Reformed or Dutch Refomed? If you know that info. we may be able to trackdown the address of a sucessor church. For instance, the Dutch Reformed Church in the Akron area became Grace Evanglical Reformed of Akron, and that church merged into the United Church of Christ.

New Bunts info from 1854 diary of Reuben Wesley Bunts

mcgovern162 — 2003-08-16 22:48:56Z

This information was written in the hand of Reuben Wesley Bunts. This specific entry was undated. The diary goes back as far as 1854. There are also some entries at the back dated many years later. He appears to have began the diary with daily entries for about a year as a young man. Later it seems he used it on a less frequent basis for longer entries, medicinal entries, and other info. I'm still working my way through the VERY tiny OLD script on the few pages I have from here.I have copies of a few pages from this diary and am waiting for relative to get me copies of the whole diary within the next couple of weeks. Some of these dates vary slightly from what I have found posted elsewhere on the net. I'll leave it up to you as to which you use. Sorry to post this as Bible but don't know what else to put it under. Bracketed info is mine

Correction to place of death for Harmon Martin Bunts and Sarah Gladys Tittle

Harmon died in the hospital in Prairie du Chien.He was a resident of Mount Hope.

Sarah died while living at a nursing home in Fennimore Wisconsin. She was a resident of Mount Hope though she was living there.

The information on this as well as my previous two postings on this line is from a living relative and has not been verified against certificates, etc at this time.

More on Reuben Wesley Bunts

2002-07-20 04:13:29Z

Reuben Wesley Bunts was born in Ohio as mentioned in the last message I posted. He traveled to Wisconsin in 1854. He rode part of the way on a stagecoach, then train, then lumber wagon. His uncle (name unknown at this time) was already in Wisconsin. Reuben bought various pieces of land in Wisc. over the years. Later, he received a government land deed signed by President Buchanan.

Reuben kept a journal. A living relative is going to try to track down which of his sisters/brothers has it so that I may read it. This information comes from Reuben's living grandson who has read the journal. The deed is in the possession of another relative of mine though over the years the seal has fallen off (it was on it as of a couple of decades ago though).

Apparently, Reuben was also a schoolteacher at some point at Mount Hope Wisconsin. There are apparently a few days of attendance records included in his journal for that school.

Harmon Martin Bunts / Reuben Wesley Bunts / Benjamin Wesley Bunts

2002-07-20 04:08:11Z

I am a great grand-daughter of Harmon martin Bunts. Reuben Wesley was his father. Harmon was born 2 april 1902, Woodman Township, Grand County, Wisconsin. He was married 15 Dec 1925, Dubugque, Iowa, and died 11 Novemeber 1980 at Mount Hope Wisconsin. He is buried at ethlehem Cemetery, Rail Hollow Road, Mount Hope Township, Grant County, Wisconsin. He was marreid to Sarah Gladys Tittle (born 27 Nov 1909, Garnavillo, Iowa, died 1984 in Wisconsin, buried at the same cemetery as her husband (above).

Harmon was the son of Reuben Wesley Bunts. Reuben was born Jan 1834 at Alliance, Trumbull County, Ohio. He was married four times. His third wife died in 1899. By 1902, he had not only remarried but his new wife had borne him two additional children. He was 68 when Harmon was born. His wife was 29 when she married him (obviously many years his junior....but do remember she was a fourth wife). Her name (the 4th wife) was Viola Josephine Setzer (I am not 100% positive on the spelling of her maiden name,Setzer). She died in 1955. She is supposed to be from Magnolia Corners, Rock County, Wisconsin. She is also buried in Bethlehem Cemetery, exact location listed earlier in this message.

REueben's father is Benjamin Wesley Bunts. He died in Ohio, probably Alliance and is supposed to be buried there.His mother is Elizabeth Gee. She died when Reuben was 18 months old of Pneumonia. She is also buried at Bethlehem Cemetery.

Harmon and Sarah had 13 children. As a number of them are still living, I will not list those at this time (specifically, one died at six weeks of age but the other 12 all made it to adulthood. 6 are still living. They were born over a span of time stretching from 1927 to 1951. They were all full sisters and brothers born to Harmon and Sarah (no step parents).

If you need more information on soem of this, please feel free to e-mail me!

I found some material on a Bunt family while cleaning out a friends house and wanted to share it with someone who might be interested. The names on the piece are Rosena, Hohn M, Robert and James Bunts. But on the bottom it looks like Rolena Buntle - does any of this make any sense to you??
