Solomon Bundy was born in Oxford, Chenango County in 1823, in a period of development in western New York. He attended Oxford Academy. He taught school for several years, and read the law; he was admitted to the bar in 1859 and commenced practice in Oxford. While studying law, he served as justice of the peace and clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Chenango County.
