Haven't seen any posting lately and thought I'd put out what I have found. Joseph and Charles Gunion are listed as age 45 and up in the 1820 Butler Co. Ohio Census. In the same Twp are a Joseph Gunion Jr. m. Sarah Rager dau. of Leonard Rager more than likely. They have a son under the age of 10 in 1820. Joseph Gunion who married Matilda Purcifuland lives in Clinton co. In. is the right age for this son. Charles the Elder is in the same area as Charles the younger listed in the 1820 census as 16 to 26 with a son under 10 and wife. He married Betsy Taylor in 1819. Charles the younger moves to Hamilton Co. In about 1828 with Daniel gunion. Daniel married Sussannah McClelland in 1815 and is listed as 16 to 26 with a son under 10 and dau. under 10 in 1820 Census. His son I believe Absolem who in his obit says he came to Ind. in 1828 which is how I come to Daniel and Charles moving here about that time as Charles is in Hamilton Co. as well. Daniel died in the 1830's and his wife married a Taylor and is shown with children including Joseph Gunion his wife Mary and sons Absolem and Charles. This Joseph may have remarried after a devorce or death of his wife, 2nd wife Elizabeth Wills in 1854 and started my line, but I need more info to confirm that. Lot of speculation here. Anyone that can confirm and deny any of this, fire away. There are also two ladies---Alice Gunyon and Susanna Gunyon who marry in 1812 and 1810 in Butler Co. Lemon Twp. as well. May be daughters or sisters of the two patriarchs Joseph and Charles. My line goes from Joseph m. Elizabeth Wills, son James Franklin m. Mary Jane Luddington, son Charles Monroe m. Mary Jane Payne, son William Hiram m. Olive Patchett, dau. my mother Helen Joanne gunion. My mother never knew here family beyond her mother as her dad died when she was 2 and she was given to a foster home. She has very little family history and no pictures of her Dad. So finding her line is important to me, but difficult. Any help would be appreciated. Steve Hitch
