Patricia,
The Bunker Family Association has information on Samuel and Aurelia, although it differs from what you have. I can only offer what we have and let you draw your own conclusions.
Dr Samuel David 6 (6th generation) Bunker b 23 Aug 1815 (N.H.V., B.T.R. 2:184) Barnstead NH; graduate Oberlin College, Ohio; m(1) 2 Apr 1846 Macomb IL Aurelia Ann Van Ness, b 1823, d 1 Sep 1861 Peoria IL; m(2) 9 Sep 1862 Shawnee Iowa, Susanna L. Porter b 17 Jul 1832 near Lancaster PA, d 9 May 1907 at farm of her daughter between Weatherford and Colony OK. Lived 1879 Central City MO, (brother Enoch so stated in 1879 letter). Lived 1883 Oregon, Putnam Co MO. Methodist minister. He d 5 Oct 1893 Centerville MO, while on visit there. 9 issue; first born was:
Henry Enoch 7 Bunker b 13 Mar 1849 Quincy IL.
Named Enoch but prefaced name Henry. m(1)15 Oct 1874 Kirksville MO Rosalie Ann Hart b 12 Jun 1853 Mayville WI, divorce, who m(2) 1892 T.J. Witzel, d 21 Feb 1942 San Diego CA. He m(2) 1882-1891 Helen M. Meeker, b VT, d 1934-8 Exline IA. He d 16 Mar 1924 aet 75-0-2 Exline; prepared his own marble gravestone; 4 issue.
This line goes back to James 1 Bunker of Dover NH. James 1 was bapt 10 Feb 1633/4 in Slapton, Devonshire, England (b @ 1628; think Mayflower arr 1621, don't quote me on that). James 1 arrival is still a mystery but he first appeared in Kittery ME. He built a fortified home (Bunker Garrison) in 1675 in Dover NH. he d 1698 and is prob bur in one of 10 depressions in the Bunker graveyard, located about 100 yard down the hill from the garrison. We count 34 Bunker graves at the site.
James D1 may be related to George C1 (Bunker Hill) and George N1 (Nantucket) but the connection would be in England, however that connection is unknown also. The 2 Georges can be traced back prior to 1515, through wills.
Many Bunkers claimed connection to Bunker Hill, however the Charlestown branch is quite small. Living male descendants, named Bunker, can be counted on one hand from that branch.
If you have other questions, pls feel free to ask, that's why we are here.
