Simeon Bunger Born 1812
An Aaron Bunger born August 26, 1844 is researched to be the son of John Bunger and Eva House. This is not possible due to the deaths of John and Eva Bunger both occurring before 1844. Aaron Bunger son of John Bunger and Eva House was born May 11, 1804. His grave marker offers he died on August 26, 1844 Preble County, Ohio.
A Richard Bunger united to Rebecca Hutsenpiller February 14, 1815 Greenbrier County, Virginia. No census records are available enumerating them. Richard Bunger, son of John Bunger and Eva House, would have been about 13 years of age in 1815, thus not likely to have been the Richard Bunger who united with Rebecca Hutsenpiller.
The 1810 Federal Census record enumerating John Bunger and family have yet to be discovered though they should have been enumerated in Greenbrier County, Virginia.
From the book titled The History of Preble County, Ohio published 1881, an account of Elias Bunger reads "Elias Bunger was born in 1809 Greenbriar County, Virginia and removed to Preble County, Ohio with his father in 1817."
The 1820 Preble County, Ohio Federal Census Record enumerating John Bunger Transcribed Below:
Males Under 10: (3) Simeon, 2 Unknown Males 10-15: (1) Elias Males 16-18: (1) Aaron Males 16-25: (1) Aaron Males 45 and over: (1) John Bunger Females 45 and Over: (2) Eva Bunger and 1 Unknown
Preble County, Ohio was formed in 1808 from parts of Montgomery and Butler Counties. The official roster of the soldiers of the American Revolution buried in the state of Ohio includes John Bunger in the County of Preble.
The American Revolutionary War broke out on April 17, 1775. John Bunger would have been about 13 years old. The Revolutionary war continued until 1783 and into the time when John Bunger would have reached adulthood. Specific records of his serving have not been discovered, but would seem probable that John Bunger joined the war between 1778-1780.
John Bunger was the son of Valentine (Felta or Felty) Bunger. Valentine Bunger's will was probated in 1806. Before his passing, Felta (transcribed as Fether) Bunger granted land to son John Bunger in Madison County, Virginia in 1795.
According to U.S. International Marriage records
John Bunger united with Eva House in 1787. A record is also available of a John Bunger having married "Elssa" House 1787 in Virginia. The possibility that Elssa may be a transcribing error is likely due to the church records available from Hebron Church in Madison County, Virginia offering that Johannes Bunger married Eva House and also that the 1830 Preble County, Ohio Federal Census records enumerating John Bunger's widow as "Eva or Eve" Bunger. Both available marriage records offer that the marriages took place in Virginia in 1787 and that Eva House was born in March.
Eva House born March 10, 1768 was the daughter of Mathias House and Margaretha Jaeckler. Research proves the Bunger and House families were closely connected.
On September 22, 1752 immigrants left from Rotterdam in South Holland for Pennsylvania with both German and Swiss newcomers aboard. Mathias Haas and Hans Jacob Burghen or Burgher are listed passengers. Hans is known to be a shortened version of the given name Johannes or John. Mathias House, father of Eva House, would have been about 13 years old in 1752. Though some researchers believe that Mathias House was born in Virginia, most offer that he was born in Germany. It is possible the passenger list noted above may be the source of that reasoning.
The passenger list can be viewed below:
A John Bunger is enumerated in 1780 and 1790 in Albemarle County, Virginia but doubtful to be John Bunger of this post. A Felty Bowyers (possibly mistranslated) also enumerated there. Albemarle County was created by the Virginia General Assembly in 1744. Madison County, Virginia was formed December 1792 from Orange County. Albemarle County boarders Orange County in Virginia.
It is possible that John Bunger noted above may have been the father of or brother of Valentine (Felty or Felta) Bunger.
