Various county histories tell us John Bundy Sr. arrived in the vicinity of the Kersey Settlement in Pennsylvania around 1818. But the 1820 census combined with other information as analyzed on the next few pages shows that in 1820, John Bundy probably resided as shown here on Sinnamahoning Creek about 4 miles southeast of Kersey and about 4 miles northeast of Penfield, an area that became part of Fox Township in later years. He was very near John Bliss, Seventh-day minister of "Fox Seven Day Baptist Church of Penfield." He was also close to Ebenezer Hewitt, who was married to Sarah, daughter of John Bliss. This collocation explains how we ended up with two pre-1830 marriages between these families (Thomas Bliss and Sally Bundy, and Stephen Bundy and Lucinda Susannah Hewitt).
