Message Board Post:
I am trying to determine if Oliver and Mary Bunton were the parents of my
great-grandfather (Jesse Bunton) who was born in Indiana in 1871. Oliver and Mary are
listed in the 1870 Jackson County census. My great-grandfather's grandparents, Alvin
and Phoebe Melton (listed as Milton) are also in the 1870 Jackson County census (they had
a daughter named Mary when they were in the 1860 census in Ohio).
Jesse Bunton was born after the 1870 census, but by 1880 he was living with the Melton
grandparents in Ohio (his place of birth is listed as Indiana in that census). I think
something happened to one or both of his parents which is why he went to live with his
grandparents.
Can anyone help me with a look up? Jesse Bunton died in Ohio when my great grandmother
was a baby and his death certificate was lost. This is as close as I've been able to
come in finding out more about his family.
