3. Website http://iagenweb.org/pottawattamie/Bios1891-Bn.htm "Biographical History or Pottawatamie Co., Iowa, 1891": "Joseph A. BUNNELL, a substantial farmer of Pottawattamie County, owning one of the largest farms in Knox Township, is of English descent. His grandfather BARLOW was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and was a traveling salesman through the west. He bought land and mill property and established his brother, Abner, on a tract of land at Maumee City, Indiana, at a very early day. Charles BUNNELL, the father of our subject, was born in Ontario County, New York, near Rochester and was married in that county to Margaret M. BARLOW, a well educated lady and the daughter of an old Revolutionary soldier, who were pioneer settlers in the old colonies of Massachusetts and New York. Mrs. Bunnell taught her husband to read and write, and he became a well informed man. They were the parents of twelve children, seven sons and five daughters; Charles B., Alby (deceased at 40 years of age), Joseph A., William T., Byron L., George (deceased at two years), Susannah M., Josephine M., Mary, Sarah, and the first and last born died in infancy.
The father settled on a farm in Portage County, Ohio, where he was among the pioneer settlers. He resided there about 12 years, then moved to Winnebago County, Illinois, remaining seven years; in 1851 he came to Clinton Co., Iowa, and settled on wild land where he lived until he came to Shelby County. His wife and son Byron died and after two years he went to the State of Washington, where he still lives at the age of 85 years. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he was for many years a deacon, class and leader, trustee, and has always made the Methodist ministers at home in his residence. His wife was a devout church member since 12 years of age, and she was a woman of high character and instilled the lessons of integrity and honesty into the minds of her children, and she is still remembered with affection. Politically Mr. Bunnell is an old-time Whig and Republican and has always been a hard working and upright man. He had two sons in the Civil War: Byron L. and Joseph A. The former was in the 26th Iowa Volunteer Infantry and was in Sherman's first and second battles of Vicksburg, and also in the severe battle at Arkansas Post, where he was badly shot in the hand, and was in the hospital at Memphis. He afterward returned to his regiment and drove an ambulance from Chattanooga to Atlanta and was with Sherman on his march to the sea. He was also on the return march to Washington and was present at the grand review. He was engaged three days in heavy skirmishing at the battle of the Clouds at Lookout Mountain."
