Amanda Bunyea, daughter of Nehemiah Bunyea and Lucy Converse, married William Bonker, son of Oliver and Matilda Bonker, in New York about 1831.
Amanda's parents Nehemiah Bunyea and Lucy Converse were born and married in Birdport, Addison County, Vermont, where their first three children--William, Salina C., and Salina--were born. (Their other five children--Amanda, Prosper, Lucy, Sally Anne, and Benjamin--were born in New York.) By 1820 they had moved to Galen Township, Seneca County, New York. Subsequent moves took them to Savannah, Wayne County, New York; Elbridge, Onondaga County, New York; White Lake Township, Oakland County, Michigan; Mentz, Cayuga County, New York; and Montezuma, Cayuga County, New York; and then back to White Lake Township, Oakland County, Michigan.
William's parents Oliver and Matilda Bonker were natives of Cayuga County, New York, and lived there all their lives. Oliver and Matilda had eight children: Jonathan, Oliver, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, John, William, Henry, and Mary.
In 1840 William Bonker and his wife Amanda Bunyea were living in Mentz, Cayuga County, New York, where the first four of their five children were born. (The last child, William, was born in Oakland County, Michigan.) By the time of the 1850 census they were living in White Lake Township, Oakland County, Michigan, where William was a cooper. They had moved to Springfield Township, Oakland County, Michigan by 1860. In the mid 1860s William and Amanda moved to Tuscola County, Michigan, where their all of their children (perhaps with the exception of Eliza Ann) had settled.
William Bonker and Amanda Bunyea had five known children:
1) Millicent "Milla" (1830-1896), who married Farley Craw;
2) Levantia "Ovanda" (1836-1910), who married Solon Cooley;
3) Eliza Ann (1838-?);
4) Nehemiah (1842-1915), who married Alice J. Gibbs;
5) William (1852-?), who married Almira Morse.
William died on May 7, 1867. After his death, Amanda worked as a domestic servant for the Gilbert Johnson family in Indianfields Township, Tuscola County, Michigan. By 1880 she had moved in with her son and daughter-in-law Nehemiah and Alice (Gibbs) Bonker in Almer Township, Tuscola County, Michigan. She passed away on March 26, 1889.
