I went to the website and did search for Colonial soldiers, thinking I was asking for that database; I got thousands of names. I refined the search to surname, which then alphabetized those thousands. I only found 3 Bunker-type names, perhaps the same man: Jonathan Buncker - MA soldiers in the French & Indian Wars, pg 65 Jonathan Bunker - MA soldiers in 17th c. Conflicts, pg 58 (listed twice) I am not currently a member of NEHGS so could not log in without joining and therefore could not search those pages. I wish I had time to search for other surnames in my line but that's all I can do right now.

Mary-Gene et al, The following is in the BFA mil db. I do not know for certain if Jonathan Bunker and Jonathan Buncker is the same person; my guess is yes. Bunker was b 29 Mar 1736 in Boston. The BFA has no indication that Jonathan was a soldier but the website appears to claim he was. If anyone has access to the records, I would appreciate further data on Bunker & Buncker. gil Jonathan Bunker (C-8) His taxes were abated in 1755 since he was in the Army (SOURCE: 1965 BunGen p.13; BunFamHist p.94). A descendant of Jesse (U-600) supplied the following story that probably refers to Jonathan (C-8) as he was in the French and India Wars. "Our Bunker ancestor had set out with a number of other men from his town to make war on certain Indians who for some reason were out of favor at that time. Somewhere, along the way, our ancestor, who had left the main force to hunt game, was ambushed and sustained a heavy wound, the ball passing clear through his middle. Even so, he was able to elude his pursuers, escaped discovery by hiding in a hollow log, and then managed to staunch the flow of blood from his wounds by packing them with tow--the material used for cleaning the long rifles. He was too badly wounded to travel for many days, and he left the shelter of his hollow log only often enough to get water and the roots and berries he ate to sustain. Finally, when he had grown strong enough to travel, he slowly and painfully made his way home. Just as he was entering town from one end-- and here is the coincidence that made the story worth telling-- the others from the expedition were returning home and riding in fro! m the opposite end of town."
