Solomon Bunn was born on November 22, 1815 in Jeromesville, Wayne (now Ashland) Co., Ohio to Benjamin and Margaret Elizabeth (Hyatt) Bunn. He married Anna Crum on November 9, 1837 in Wayne (now Ashland) Co., Ohio. He was not only a farmer, but an auctioneer. He was known far and wide for he was a hale fellow well met. He loved people and was happiest when neighbors and relatives came to see and visit him. Many of his happy go lucky mannerisms still linger as hand-me-down stories. If a circus or an entertainment came to town, Solomon was always present, no matter how busy, according to the old stories. He also apparently had an excellent knowledge of the very early Bunns in America. However, only remnants of his remarks about his ancestors, as is to be expected, remain 65 years after his death.
Solomon was apparently rather undecided as to whether he liked Ohio or Illinois the better, for he returned to Ohio, then back to Illinois on 3 different occasions before permanently settling just across the Richland County line in Lawrence Co., IL.
