For those of you searching the Bonkers, the 1860 census lists in Monmouth, Warren Co., Illinois, Jas M. Bunker, age 44, painter, b. NY, Polly age 35, b. OH, Melissa age 16 b. IL; Lorenzo age 12 b. IL; Molesta age 6 b. IL, Jack age 4, b. IL and Ida S. age 2 b. IL. In 1880 in Monmouth, Warren Co., IL Polly Bunker age 55, b. OH, widow, pop b. SC, mom b. VA, dressmaker; Molesta age 26 b. IL, pop b. NY, mom b. OH; Warren age 16, b. IL, cigar maker; Ora A. age 7, granddaughter b. IL. It would seem that James' children in the past have been assigned erroneously to Jeremiah Bonker, his father. There is a lot of confusion with this family. Please contact me if you are working on them. Maybe we can get them sorted out. Bette
