Sometimes I can get pretty silly crunching numbers. For those of you who find numbers BORING, click on delete now. In 1790 we had been a separate country for 6 years and the first federal census was taken. There were 80 Bunker households in the US at the time. 30 of them were in Nantucket, 20 in New Hampshire, 13 in New York, 1 in Maryland, 7 in Maine and 3 in Pennsylvania. The remaining 6 households were in Massachusetts but in counties other than Nantucket. In 1800 there were 74 Bunker households. 24 were in Nantucket, 14 in New Hampshire, 12 in Maine and 7 in New York. We had also moved into Delaware, and Ohio. In 1810 there were 135 Bunker households. 1820 148 households. In 1830 there was a big jump to 244 and in 1840 there were 243. I suspect there was a bit of immigration during this period. In 1850 we really grew with 611 households in the US now. This was the first census that listed the names of all the household members. However, the index that is on Ancestry.com lists only the names of the heads of household. By 1880 there were 3,039 Bunkers in the US. The index for this census lists all the names. In 1920 the index lists only the heads of households again and there were 1,339 households. In 1930 the index lists all the names and there were 3,900 Bunkers. This is the last census that has been published. It is amazing that in 50 years the number of Bunkers in the US had only increased by 861 people. Now you know the numbers. I believe today we have Bunkers in every state in the union plus Puerto Rico. Bette
