On 31 August 1848, Asa Young and Stephen Bundy bought two tracts of land adjacent to one another. Both the 1866 Pomeroy map and the 1878 Caldwell atlas (see this page) shows where this land was; it is marked as "S. Bundy" or "A. S." on both maps, one meaning Stephen Bundy and the other being his son Atwood S. Bundy, with the two properties being switched between 1866 and 1878. This purchase seems remembered in Jennie Dixon's book (The Hills of Home) by a statement that Stephen Bundy left "his improvements" near the old Conway place and moved to Penfield in 1850. Asa was either already or very-soon-to-be married to Stephen's daughter Susan -- the 1850 census shows Stephen's son William M. working on the farm of Asa and Susan Young (they had no children yet), which was adjacent to the farm of Stephen Bundy. Later census records show the Young and Bundy families adjacent, and that Asa and Susan named a daughter Lucinda.
