BUNNEL, Jairus ^{1 2 3 4}

  General Notes:

The bible belonging to this Jarius Bunnel is in the current possession of Hal and Libby (Elizabeth Corrigan) Swenson. I have seen it and they have copied it for me. The first page is inscribed "Jarus (Jarius?) Bunnel's Book, Cheshire, June 1811" (F-315) Since it is stated he is the Jarius of Cheshire (Conn) in 1811, it is likely that at least some of his children were born in Cheshire as he and his wife were raising a family starting in 1812. Note that his name is written consistently by he or his family with only one l.

Jarius is probably the Jarius listed in the 1820 Cheshire, New Haven, Connecticut Census records on page 228. This record still needs to be located. (F-429)

  Noted events in his life were:

• Baptism, Sep 6, 1789, Cheshire, New Haven, CT.

Jairus married Martha LINCOLN, daughter of J. LINCOLN and E. UNKNOWN, on Sep 26, 1810 in Cheshire, New Haven, CT. (Martha LINCOLN was born on Jun 21, 1790 in , , Vermont, USA ⁴ and died on Nov 23, 1872 in Harlem, District of Manhattan Borough, NY, USA ^{5 6}.)
