Hi tslsc and welcome to LLF!,
Here's a link to an old map of Sarnia Township showing where Bunyan was/is (it's very large, so give it some time to load...):
Sarnia Township Map
You'll find Bunyan in the southeast (lower right) corner of the map.
It was located on present day Churchill Line, near Brigden Road.
Here's a description from Lambton County Names and Places, published in 1925...
Bunyan
A post office, situate on the Second Concession of Sarnia Township. It was opened about 1875 at the residence of Ebenezer Watson, a pioneer of this township who settled there in 1836. Mr. Watson became the first postmaster. This settlement was largely of the Baptist faith, Mr. Watson being a Baptist and named it Bunyan after John Bunyan, famous as the author of `Pilgrim's Progress'. A Baptist Church still bears the name Bunyan, though the post office is no longer operating.
