Richard Bunts

Richard Bunts (or Bunce) was a man whose coffin was unearthed in 2019 during real estate development in Rosewood Trail, Hudson, Ohio. The plot is not a cemetery but there were records of people being buried there in the mid-19th century.
He underwent undergoing testing by the DNA Doe Project. The DNA Doe Project was able to identify the decedent as a man who died before the start of the American Civil War. The case was extremely difficult due to bacterial contamination. His identity was announced on November 17, 2021 as Richard Bunts, born in 1793. His case is currently the oldest to be solved by the DNA Doe Project.
