Thank you for your message. Mary Amanda Bunnell was my great grandmother. I believe that, at 84, I am the only survivor of my generation.
Henry DeLong was my paternal grandfather. In his autobiography, written when he was in his 90s, he related that his mother (Mary Amanda) was a devout Methodist, and his father a Baptist, in Old Brighton, Pennsylvania. He also wrote about how the family went to Nauvoo with the Mormons....Orphanned in Nauvoo, my grandfather and two of his siblings were taken by Mormon "saints" on the westward trek with the Brigham Young party....
HOWEVER! I am somewhat distrustful of the Able/Abel Bunnell/Silence Scott parentage. I am inclined toward Jesse Bunnell as being her father.
Cordially,
Mary Katherine DeLong
