Research Notes
Two sons and a sister of Delavan and Lucy Bunn were buried in the same cemetery as his mother Polly Ann Jackson Bunn in Wisconsin.
Oregon death record (viewable on ancestry) states that Delavan Bunn died 5 Sep 1906 in Shaw, Marion County, Oregon. He stated his age at death was 81 yrs, 2 mos and 25 days.
The Hollister Family of America and the History of the Bunn Family of America both describe the family of Delavan Bunn and his parents. However, the Bunn book contains undocumented claims of Jackson and Hull ancestry that are uncertain. Published in 1886, the Hollister book states that Delavan Bunn was born in Hartwick, New York. The 1928 Bunn book states that he was born in South Hartwick, Otsego County, New York. Both books state that Delavan married Lucy Ann/Anna Hollister on 4 Sep 1848 in Cattaraugus County, New York.
He obtained land from the General Land Office in Kingsbury, South Dakota. A land patent was issued in 1883 for 157 acres in Section 1, Township 111 North and 56 West.[6]
"is a farmer and member of the grange, and resides at De Smet, Kingsbury Co., Dakota. His wife is also a member of the grange, and belongs to the Methodist church."[7]
