Early life

Rudolph Brunner was born on August 17, 1779 in Savannah, New York to George Bunner and Jane Cuyler. George was a merchant and mariner, and owner of the brig Mars in the West India trade. Bunner graduated from Columbia University in 1798. His paternal grandfather was Captain Teleman Cruger Cuyler and his great-grandparents were Henry Cuyler and Catherine Cruger.[1][2] His maternal uncles included Captain Henry Cuyler, who was killed at the siege of Savannah, Jeremiah La Touche Cuyler (1768–1839), who was the first Federal Judge in Georgia.[2]

His first-cousins included Richard Randolph Cuyler (1796–1865), who was president of the Central Railroad of Georgia and Dr. John M. Cuyler (1810–1884), who was Surgeon and Brevet Brigadier-General, United States Army.[2]

Career

After graduating from Columbia, he studied law and was admitted to the bar. He practiced in Newburgh, New York from 1819 until 1822.[3] In October 1822, Bunner moved to Oswego, New York where he engaged in manufacturing and served as a director of the Oswego Cloth & Carpet Manufacturing Company.

In addition to his legal work, he also was an extensive landowner and served as member of the first board of directors of the Oswego Canal Company.[3]

In 1827, he was elected as a Jacksonian to the Twentieth Congress, serving from March 4, 1827 until March 3, 1829.[3]

Personal life

Bunner married Elizabeth Matilda Church (1783–1867), the daughter of John Barker Church (1748–1818) and Angelica Schuyler (1756–1814). Elizabeth's grandfather was General Philip Schuyler (1733–1804) and her uncle was Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Together, Rudolph and Elizabeth had 6 children.

He died in Oswego, New York, July 16, 1837 and was interred in Riverside Cemetery.
