Zephaniah W. Bunce

Zephaniah Webster Bunce (November 14, 1787 – October 8, 1889) was an early Anglo-American settler in St. Clair County, Michigan and a member of the Michigan Territorial Council.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Bunce first came to St. Clair, County, Michigan Territory in 1817.

He settled near a mill operated by Duperon Baby at a place that would eventually become Bunceville, Michigan.

The Ojibwe were still in the area and early on Bunce was involved with trading with them.

He was later involved in the lumber industry and served as a probate judge.
