A young man by the name of Jonathan Bunker, living near Mr. (Samuel) Sewall, experienced religion under the teachings of Mr. Sewall and Rev. Jotham Sewall, as did also Mr. (John) Trask. They embraced fully the creed of their patrons and united with the Congregational Church at Farmington. About 1797 Mr. Bunker married and moved to Industry. These three persons formed the nucleus of the Congregational Church in this town.

Page 144
On the 21st day of January, 1802, a little more than a year after his first visit, Rev. Jotham Sewall, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Mr. Samuel Sewall, a licentiate, visited Industry and held a meeting for the purpose of organizing a church. A society was formed, consisting, as we learn from Rev. Jotham Sewall’s Memoirs, of eight members, among whom were William Allen, Sr., John Trask and wife, and Jonathan Bunker.

History of Cuyahoga County, Ohio

ROYALTON TOWNSHIP HISTORY
…
In 1817, Jonathan Bunker, from the State of New York, located upon section eleven, where he had received a tract of one hundred and fifty acres from Gideon Granger in exchange for one of fifty acres near Palmyra, New York, his former home.
Mr. Bunker belonged to a historical family which gave its name to the celebrated Bunker Hill. Two of his uncles had also participated in the battle fought on Breed's Hill, to which the former name has been given, where one was killed and the other wounded.
Ephraim Moody, a neighbor in New York, accompanied Bunker to the West. The journey was made in a sleigh drawn by a pair of horses, of which each owned one. Moody stopped short of Royalton, leaving Bunker to go on alone. The latter reached his newly acquired property in the morning, and by night he had put up a shanty. During the following eight months he labored there alone, clearing and cultivating his land, and when at the end of that time his family came out, they found a comfortable log house and crops well advanced.
Mr. Bunker, during his solitary experience, used to be frequently troubled by wild beasts, and more than once his shanty, which was always open, received marauding visits from bears. He was, however, a fearless man, and far from being frightened away by the bears and wolves; he hunted and trapped them with great success. He was an expert ropemaker, and for some time, during his early days in Royalton, supplied Cleveland with about all the white rope used there. For its manufacture he used flax raised upon his farm, and also hemp purchased from Mr. Weddell, of Cleveland. Mr. Bunker also had a nursery of four hundred apple trees, from which many of the present orchards of Royalton were supplied. He had a family of nine children, and died in 1844, aged eighty-two.
…
Boaz Granger, of whom mention has already been made, came out in 1817. He was a neighbor of Jonathan Bunker in New York, and when he came to Royalton, boarded awhile at the house of the latter.
…
The first marriage in Royalton was that of Asa Norton to Lovey Bunker. The ceremony, which was performed by "Squire" J. B. Stewart, was the maiden effort in that line of the newly-chosen justice.
Going to mill in the pioneer days was a disagreeable necessity, for there were none nearer than Vaughn's log gristmill, where Berea now stands, and the way to it was through a dense wilderness. Freeman Bunker, now a resident of Royalton, related how, when a boy, he used occasionally to set out for Vaughn's mill with three bushels of corn across his horse's back. By a peculiar arrangement, the like of which we have never observed before in the history of pioneer milling, Vaughn always went himself, or sent somebody, half way to meet such persons as had notified him that they would have a grist for his mill. Young Bunker used to send the requisite notice beforehand, and then, after struggling through the woods and underbrush to the place where he expected to meet Vaughn, would call out loudly, when the worthy miller would usually appear and take the grist away with him. Sometimes, however, owing to the vague character of the road, the lad or the miller failed to find the appointed spot, when the former would be compelled to roam around the woods a long time before finding the other end of this singular transportation line.
Mr. Bunker relates that he was frequently followed by wolves during his trips to the mill and elsewhere, and that troops of them were common spectacles; but the craven creatures never made serious onslaughts save upon such small game as happened to be exposed to their attacks. Bear hunts, organized upon an extensive plan, occasionally called nearly all the residents of the township into service, but excursions after deer, turkeys, etc., were too common to attract any attention.
It is said that there was not a single framed dwelling house in Royalton, until 1827, when Jonathan Bunker erected one.

Memorial to the Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve

The first marriage in Royalton was that of Asa Norton and Lovey Bunker. Esquire J.B. Stewart performing the ceremony.  The bride belonged to the family after whom Bunker Hill was named.  She must have been a handsome bride for even in old age she was fair to look upon…

...

Lois, daughter of Jonathan (should read Freeman) Bunker, was a successful schoolteacher and possessed of much literary talent.  Her sister, Mrs. Morrell, was a fine scholar and music teacher.

Pioneer Women of Parma Township:

Mrs. Kilborn was an earnest Christian . She was one of the original members of the Free Will Baptist Church, organized in the school house in that district, about 1834.

The History of Union County, Ohio

Chapter XIII-Washington Township

Page 661:

James Bird was perhaps the first settler in the western part of the township. He came to it in June, 1839. He had purchased 400 acres in Survey 12, 105 and had to cut a road to the place. His nearest neighbor, when he arrived, was Jeremiah Lingrel, who lived two and a half miles east, a short distance northwest from what is now Byhalia. Mr. Bird was born in New York, and while in that State served in the War of 1812 a short time. He removed to Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and thence to Logan County, where in addition to his farm labors, he preached the Gospel to his neighbors and also practiced the "Thompsonian" system of medicine. But after his removal to Washington Township all his energies were given to the development of his farm. He brought with him five children-Gorum, William, Albert, James, and Olive (Ennis). He was born June 8, 1789, and died March 24, 1882.

Portrait and Biographical Record of Iroquois County, Illinois

WILLIAM SMITH, one of the early settlers of the county and a well-to-do farmer residing on section 35, Ash Grove Township, has here made his home since 1853, or for a period of thirty-nine consecutive years. His life record is as follows: He was born in Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio, September 7, 1834, and is a son of Joel R. Smith. The father was born in the Empire State and became one of the pioneers and the first Sheriff of Wabash County, Ind. In 1853, he came to Illinois and cast in his lot with the early settlers of Iroquois County, locating on section 35, Ash Grove Township. This was then a wild and almost unimproved region, the land was in its primitive condition, and the prairies were covered with thick grass as high as a man. Mr. Smith purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land at $2.50 per acre and began the development of a farm. In 1888, he removed to Buckley and afterward went to Olney, Ill., where he died in 1885, at the age of eighty-four years. He was married in Ohio to Eliza Bunker, who died in Buckley, and after her death he wedded Mrs. Kimball. He served as Justice of the Peace and Police Justice for many years and was a prominent and influential citizen. He held membership with the Methodist Church, and was long connected with the Masonic fraternity. In politics, he was a Whig and afterward a Republican.

In the Smith family were the following children: Mrs., Mary Collins; who now resides in Chicago; William, whose name heads this sketch; Joel R., a resident of Kansas; Almer A., who makes his home in Watseka; Eliza, wife of Dr. Homer, of Buckley; and Daniel, the youngest child, who is living in Decatur.
Our subject was only two years old when with his parents he removed to Indiana. He acquired a good education in the public schools and is a well-informed man. At the age of nineteen he came with his parents to Iroquois County and aided in the development of a new farm until 1859, when he built a log cabin upon a tract of land, moved into it and began life for himself. His labors were interrupted, however, when, in August, 1862, he donned the blue and became a member of Company E, Seventy-sixth Illinois Infantry…

January 3,1859, Mr. Smith was united in marriage with Miss Caran H. Higgenson, a native of Owen County, Ind., born February 26, 1833.
