Peter Bundy

b. 16 July 1813, d. 14 June 1897
Family
Father*Antoine Bondy1
Name Spellings* In this research project, everyone with the surname Bondy or Bundy was a member of the same family. When Peter BONDY returned to the United States from Canada in 1840, his surname, as it was recorded, was spelled BONDY. By the early 1900's, Peter's surname, and the surname of most of his children, had begun to morph and was, in many cases, being recorded as BUNDY, although some of his children retained the BONDY surname. Over the years, as Peter made his way into the history books, he became known as Peter BUNDY.2,1,3,4 
Birth*16 July 1813His name at birth was Peter Bondy and he was born on 16 July 1813 in Eel River Township, Allen County, Indiana.1 
Name VariationHis Indian name was spelled Wah-pa-pe-tah on his Find a Grave memorial page and spelled "Wah-pah-pe-tah" in the 1873 will of his wife, O-zah-shin-quah.1,5 
Nationality*His father was a French Canadian, and his mother was a Mohican.1 
Immigration*1840 In 1840, at about age 27, Peter left Canada for the United States1 
Adoption* and was adopted by Chief Al-lo-lah, a Miami Indian village chief whose village was south of Wabash, Indiana.1,6 
Miami Custom-Belief* It was the custom and belief of the Miamis that when a loved one died, their spirit could not enter the spirit world until a replacement could be found to take their place in the living world. Only then could the spirit of the dead be released. Sometimes a friend who was unattached could be adopted. The most prevalent custom, however, was to raid an enemy camp and capture women and children. These people, as time healed their sorrow, usually adapted to their new lives and would, thereby, become an instrument of release for the spirit of a departed member of the tribe.7 
Marriage*He married, as her fifth and final husband, O-zah-shin-quah, daughter of She-po-con-ah and Frances Slocum.1,8,6,5,9 
Description*Peter Bondy was a quiet man with a kindly disposition and gave more evidence in his appearance of his Indian ancestry than of his French. The nobility of his foster Indian father, the influence of his French blood, and his later relationship to the Slocum family all contributed to his character in later life.1,6 
(Adoptive Father) AdoptionHe and his wife, O-zah-shin-quah, adopted Jackson Coon Bundy and Samuel Bundy.2 
Relationship Note*Jackson Coon Bundy and Samuel Bundy may have been biological brothers, the sons of Gregoire Bundy (1815?-1845?), who was a brother of Peter Bondy, who then, after his brother's death, adopted Gregoire’s sons. Here is the background research leading to this possibility: Samuel's Find a Grave memorial page makes note of the Luke Sheer papers in Miami, Oklahoma, which reference a Gregoire Bundy (1815?-1845?) as a brother to Peter, who was the biological father of Samuel. The Find a Grave site also suggests that Samuel's father could also have been the father of Jackson Bundy. Both Samuel and Jackson Bundy were enumerated on the 1850 census in the household of John B. Brouillette, whose household also included the family of Peter Bundy. On the census page, Samuel and Jackson are listed after the three daughters of Peter Bundy's wife from her previous marriages, and Peter's two biological daughters with his wife. All of the children are younger than Samuel and Jackson. And, as a final note regarding Samuel, he named a son George.2,10,11 
(Son-in-Law) ResidenceIn 1845 by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress, his mother-in-law, Frances Slocum and her family, which included on that date 22 individuals, were exempted from the Removal Order forcing the Miami from Indiana. The family lived on a prosperous farm and owned cattle, hogs, chickens and a large herd of ponies. His mother-in-law's settlement included her two grown daughters, Nancy Ke-ke-nok-esh-wah Brouillette and Jane O-zah-shin-quah Bundy, their husbands, John B. Brouillette and Peter Bundy, and the four children of her younger daughter, Jane O-zah-shin-quah Bundy, Eliza Ke-pa-ke-min-quah Godfroy, Frances Godfroy, Ki po ki na mo qua and Ching-o-shing-quah. In 1846, the year of the forced Removal, Peter's mother-in-law persuaded her white nephew, Reverend George R. Slocum, to come from Ohio and help her manage the farm.12 
(Minister) Relocation1846 In 1846, Frances Slocum's nephew, George Slocum, who was a Baptist minister, and his wife Eliza moved with their children from Ohio to Wabash County, Indiana, so that George could help his aunt, and her extended family, learn to manage their farms. George settled with his family on the Mississinewa near Frances and, after her death in 1847, he continued to live and work among the Indians and pioneers, helping them learn to become successful farmers. He was highly respected and it was largely through his influence that John B. Brouillette and Peter Bundy became Christians and Baptist ministers of the gospel. Many other Indians and pioneers were brought into the church or helped to a higher life by his influence.13,14,15 
(Son-in-Law) Death9 March 1847His mother-in-law, Frances Slocum, died on 9 March 1847, at age 74.16 
(Brother-in-Law) Death13 March 1847His wife's sister, Ke-ke-nok-esh-wah, died at about age 47, on 13 March 1847, just four days after the death of their mother. Ke-ke-nok-esh-wah was very afraid that she might be buried alive and requested from her family that she be buried in a coffin with no bottom in it, and that her body be laid on the ground with the bottom-less coffin placed over it.17,18,6 
Inheritance*His wife, O-zah-shin-quah, became the sole owner of the Slocum farm after the deaths of her mother and sister.6 
(Father-in-Law) Census US 185019 September 1850Peter and his wife, O-zah-shin-quah, were enumerated with their extended family on the 1850 census taken on 19 September 1850 in the household of Ke-pa-ke-min-quah and John B. Brouillette in Waltz Township, Wabash County, Indiana. Peter, whose surname was recorded as "Bendy", was 30 years of age, reported no occupation, and had real estate valued at $400. His wife, who was the mother of Ke-pa-ke-min-quah Brouillette, was 33 years of age and had real estate valued at $9,600. Enumerated with them in the Brouillette household were O-zah-shin-quah's other daughters from her previous marriages. Frances, Elizabeth and Melvina, ages 17, 13 and 11 years, respectively, were all recorded with the surname "Godfroy" and had attended school within the census year. The Bundy's two daughters, Mary and Anna, whose surnames were recorded as "Bondy", were ages 3 years and 5 months, respectively. The Brouillette household also included Peter Bundy's two adopted sons, Samuel and Jackson Bundy, whose surnames were also recorded as "Bondy". Samuel and Jackson were ages 17 and 19 years, respectively, were working as farmers, and had attended school within the census year.2 
Religion*He became a Christian and a Baptist minister under the preaching of the Reverend George R. Slocum, a nephew of his mother-in-law, Frances Slocum. Bondy was a familiar character, not only among the Indians of the Mississinewa, but he also preached frequently for the pioneer churches.1,6 
(Husband) Will10 July 1873His wife, O-zah-shin-quah, prepared her will dated 10 July 1873 in Wabash County, Indiana. Her beneficiaries included her husband, Peter Wah-pa-pe-tah Bondy, whom she also nominated and appointed executor of her estate; her daughters, Rose Ann Pe-me-sah-quah Bondy, Hannah Sah-co-quit-ah Mongosa, Frances Wah-pah-nock-shin-quah Wilson, Eliza Ke-pa-ke-min-quah Brouillette, Elizabeth Ki po ki na mo qua Godfroy and Ching-o-shing-quah Tawataw; her sons, Judson Ke-pah-ke-kap-wah Bondy and Camillious Tak-quah-ke-uh Bondy; and a granddaughter, Nancy On-za-noc-ke-sum-quah Mongosa. Her will also mentioned her deceased sister, Ke-ke-nok-esh-wah Brouillette, and a son-in-law, Nelson Tawataw.5 
(Husband) Death25 January 1877Peter became a widower when Jane O-zah-shin-quah Bundy died on 25 January 1877 at age 67.8 
Residence* He continued to live on the Slocum farm for the rest of his life.6 
Marriage*10 January 1881He married second, as her third husband, Frances (Godfroy) Hunt Kissiman, daughter of Francis Godfroy and Sac-a-qua-tah, on 10 January 1881.19,20,1 
Divorce*The union of Peter and Frances was not congenial and they ended their marriage.1 
Death*14 June 1897He died on 14 June 1897 in Waltz Township, Wabash County, Indiana, at age 831 
Burial* and was buried in the Slocum Cemetery, Waltz Township.1

Samuel Bundy1

b. 17 March 1835, d. 7 April 1875
Family
Adoptive father*Peter Bundy1 b. 16 Jul 1813, d. 14 Jun 1897
Adoptive mother*O-zah-shin-quah1 b. Oct 1809, d. 25 Jan 1877
(Family Member) Name Spellings In this research project, everyone with the surname Bondy or Bundy was a member of the same family. When Peter BONDY returned to the United States from Canada in 1840, his surname, as it was recorded, was spelled BONDY. By the early 1900's, Peter's surname, and the surname of most of his children, had begun to morph and was, in many cases, being recorded as BUNDY, although some of his children retained the BONDY surname. Over the years, as Peter made his way into the history books, he became known as Peter BUNDY.1,2,3,4 
Name VariationHis Indian name was To-cal-en-je-sah.5 
Birth*17 March 1835Samuel Bundy was probably born about 17 March 1835 in Indiana.6,7 
Adoption*He was adopted by Jackson Coon Bundy and his wife, O-zah-shin-quah.1 
AdoptionSamuel Bundy and Jackson Coon Bundy were adopted by Peter Bundy and his wife, O-zah-shin-quah.1 
(Adopted Son) Relationship NoteJackson Coon Bundy and Samuel Bundy may have been biological brothers, the sons of Gregoire Bundy (1815?-1845?), who was a brother of Peter Bondy, who then, after his brother's death, adopted Gregoire’s sons. Here is the background research leading to this possibility: Samuel's Find a Grave memorial page makes note of the Luke Sheer papers in Miami, Oklahoma, which reference a Gregoire Bundy (1815?-1845?) as a brother to Peter, who was the biological father of Samuel. The Find a Grave site also suggests that Samuel's father could also have been the father of Jackson Bundy. Both Samuel and Jackson Bundy were enumerated on the 1850 census in the household of John B. Brouillette, whose household also included the family of Peter Bundy. On the census page, Samuel and Jackson are listed after the three daughters of Peter Bundy's wife from her previous marriages, and Peter's two biological daughters with his wife. All of the children are younger than Samuel and Jackson. And, as a final note regarding Samuel, he named a son George.1,5,8 
(Adopted Son) Census US 185019 September 1850Samuel was enumerated with his adopted father and extended family on the 1850 census taken on 19 September 1850 in the household of Ke-pa-ke-min-quah and John B. Brouillette in Waltz Township, Wabash County, Indiana. Samuel's father's wife, O-zah-shin-quah, was Ke-pa-ke-min-quah's mother. Samuel, whose surname was recorded as "Bondy", was 17 years old, was working as a farmer, and had attended school within the census year.1 
Marriage*1855He married Ke-che-cc-me-quah about 1855.5,9 
Death*7 April 1875He died on 7 April 1875 in Indiana at age 405 
Burial* and was buried in the Miami Indian Cemetery, Fox, Grant County, Indiana.5 
(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.10,11,12,13,14,15,16
