There were about 140 Bunkers listed as living in NY in the 1850 census. Ira Sargent is not listed. Sally could have been the daughter of any of those Bunkers listed in the census that were old enough to be her parents. Of course, her parents may have been dead by that time too. If you can track down the place that Ira and Sally lived first after their marriage, you can look for Bunkers in that area that could have been her family. That might narrow it down some. RootsWeb and Cyndis List are the best places to start. Sally was probably named Sarah as Sally was a common nickname for Sarah. The Bunker database has no Sarah or Sally Bunker married to a Sargent. The family appears to have been migrating west. Look for Bunkers in the areas where Ira and Sally lived as they migrated west. If anyone else out there has any suggestions to help find this Sally Bunker, please let us know.

Sally Ann Bunker, probably born in New York, born in 1812, m a younger Ira Horton Sargent (who was born in Onadogan County New York) and bore children between 1844 -1857 in New York, Ohio, and perhaps Michigan. Buried in Doty Cemetery, Ransom, Michigan (where her father-in-law, Ephraim Sargent owned land). Gravesite says she was wife of Ira H Sargent, died October 16, 1858 at age 46. She gave birth to twins John W and Ira L, in 1847 (one being my gr grandfather), last child born was Martin Sargent in 1857. If she was born in New York, who might have been her parents? Any help you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ==== BUNKER Mailing List ==== Want more information on the Bunker Family Association?
