From History of White and Pulaski IN published 1883. Page 284 there is a A.R. Bunnell born Clark County OH 1832 to Nathaniel Jr and Susanna Runnyon Bunnell. He md Susan Rinker 1862 and a native of White County, May be a cousin of Brazilla. Does not go to Porter county nor mining in CA. Bio of Nathaniel Jr page 283 and B Bunnell on page 28284. B Bunnell born 1807 and son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Donaven Bunnell. Moved with parents as infant to Warren Co OH and then 1816 to Clark Co. The FAMILY APPEARS TO BE DISTANTLY CONNECTED.
