More information: In 1840 the census lists Jonathan and a female 60-70 (presumably Polly) in Harrison, Champaign Co., OH. Gorham (listed as Goram Bunker) is also there. By 1850, Jonathan is 83, a widower and in the poorhouse in Urbana Twp., Champaign Co, OH. He is also there in 1851. He is listed as insane so was undoubtedly senile and unable to care for himself at that time. Gorham is listed in 1850 in E. Troy, Walworth Co., WI but eventually ended up in Indiana. This is a different Gorham, the son of Francis Bunker and Eunice Macy. I cannot find Jonathan's son Gorham in the 1850 census. The only one listed is the son of Francis and Eunice Macy.

He shows up on the 1800 Census of Farmington, the 1810 Census of Industry, an adjacent town, then disappears. Very early records of both towns show nothing for information on either him or Polly, or any children. Does anyone know anything about Jonathan Bunker?
