Hi, I have read some more of my info sources. The only thing I have at this point is the reference to William Buffington's will, stating that he left a piece of land to be divided between Ruth Collins and her sister Susanna and named the male to administer the property. (My source was printed from Ralph Buffington.)

Re: Buffington Family History

jcollins482 — 2009-11-10 23:25:23Z

He was married to Ruth Buffington, brother of Joel. They moved and supposedly died in Bullitt cty Kentucky. The parents of William Collins. William and his sister than moved back to Virginia(now West) to the land left by Ruth's father from the Savage grant. Have tried to find out where Thomas C. comes from but not succesful. Entry in Cabell Cty West Virginia Heritage book says his mother and father were named Thomas and Elizabeth but I am not certain that is accurate. Thank you for any insight or clues. Jim

Susannah Buffington Lykens Valley and Daniel Plyler

philip4_9 — 2009-10-07 15:45:47Z

My Gggreat grandmother is said to be Susannah Buffington married to Daniel Plyler, I am of the Plyler line and my grandmother is Leta Louise Plyler Swarts.

In trying to prove Susannah as wife of Daniel Plyler Pliler b 1793, I find only Two Susannah's in Lykens Valley area that are not yet listed as married to someone. So attached Susannah daughter of Levi for a working name to prove out.

What I need is a Marriage listing and feel there should be one from the Hoffman Church records. Does anyone have this book and could you do a look up for me.
Or does anyone know the spouses of the Susannah Buffingtons born about 1800 who would have moved from the area. I believe that is why this is hard to define as they moved with a large group to Jefferson Co. PA

Hi there:
Thanks for your reply. I don't think this is the George Andrew I'm looking for since what I have as far as birth year is approx 1861. George was married twice that I know of but neither name of his wives was Edith. He ended up in Antelope County Nebraska. How I wish I could find him with him parents. Thanks - Eleen

Thank you to the people who answered my query about the "Buffington Family in America" book. I was hoping there would be an updated edition. I have looked at the 1965 edition at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and copied the pages of interest. I believe I am descended from Hannah Buffington who married Jeremiah Dean in 1720. I have information on that line of descent if anyone is interested.

Re: The Buffington Family by Ralph M. Buffington

EmmaFranklin1958 — 2009-08-30 22:13:32Z

As far as I know there has not been a revision of "The Buffington Family in America". You might be able to find a copy of it on ebay or from an online genealogy book store. I found a copy for 50.00.

The Buffington Family by Ralph M. Buffington

LarryDean920 — 2009-08-30 20:23:55Z

Can anyone on this board tell me whether the book "The Buffington Family in America, a Joint Venture for the Buffington Family" by Ralph M. Buffington and others, published 1965 by Mary B. Webb, Houston, Texas has been revised? Is there a later edition available? Where might one go to purchase a copy?

Re: Buffington's of Dearborn Co. Indiana

jbuff63 — 2009-08-23 16:56:01Z

I would appreciate a copy of the document. My great grandfather was John A. Buffington who was born in Indiana and in Dearborn County, I believe. I have reason to believe that he had a sister, Mary Jane who was a few years older than he, and I believe she was born in Indians. She was born in about 1828, he in about 1833, There mother was Hannah Buffington who appears to have sold some aceraged in Dearborn County around 1850. I suspect that she was able to do that because her husband had died. Shortly after the sale of the property, Hannah, her daughter {married to Samuel Myrick in Dearborn County} and her son John A. Buffington moved to Knox County, Illinois.

Records of the James Bonnell family of Dover, Iowas, indicated that a Racehl Ann Buffingto born in the early 1820' was a child of Hannah Buffington nee Morrow who lived in Knox County. The sole Hannah Buffington in Knox County was the mother of John and Hannah. I have information on John and Mary Jane, but I have been unable to find proof of the name of their father. Additionally, I am not sure of the state of nativity of Hannah and I have no proof that her maiden name was Morrow. I wondr if you have any knowledge of these people?

Dear Richard: I was very glad to read your message. I've been searching for George Andrew Buffington for quite some time. He was born in Iowa, but ended up in Nebraska in Antelope County. Does this name sount familiar at all to you. George wasn't raised by his parents - but I can't find who raised him. However, he did say he had at least one brother. Would love to hear from you. Please mail me direcly to my own e-mail addrss. I just wrote to Diana also. And I wondered if you know why? Joseph wasn't raised by his parents. I did find an Andrew Buffington living with a Mary Sprool/Sproul in Chickasaw County, Iowa when he was about 5, but don't know if he is my Andrew. Then I can't find a George or Andrew again until he is married and in Nebraska. Just hoping he might have a connection to Joseph. I would love to correspond. Would you reply to me at my own address. Thank you!

Was checking the Buffington name on Ancestry & came across your entry dated 25 May 2002. I am a gggrandaughter to James A. Harrelson who married Amelia Buffington, 17 Jun 1838 in Adams Co.,Illinois, daughter to Jacob Buffington & Amelia Ann Harvey, m.26 Jun 1804. I would be interested in visiting your Ancestry site to verify the imformation I have on earlier family Joel Buffington, b.1754-55, Chester, PA,who married Elizabeth Logan. His parents William Buffington b.1700,PA. & Magdalena Lena Ferree b.1712,PA., and their other children. Williams parents Thomas Buffington b.1685-d.1739 & Ruth Cope b.16 Mar 1686,Delaware d.1729 Chester,PA & their children. To his father Richard Buffington & wife Ann Francis who are said to be the immigants from England in the Buffington family. It appears that the Buffington,Ferree & Dubois families are pretty intertwined in their marriages and probably immigrated around the same time frame in the 1670's.
Thank you for any help you might be able to unravel here.

Trying to put the 2 families together.

Josephs 2 youngest daughters Letha and Delpha have both died recently, Delpha just August 8th of this year and Letha in April 21, 2009.

My cousins are Buffingtons and have been doing their family history saw these obits and trying to connect the Buffingtons but there are so many of them.

Any help on Joseph H Buffington who was born in NE according to his 1920 census records. born about 1888. says his father also was born in Nebraska. Wife was Martha Cloyd.

Cloyd some how rings a bell but cannot find in records.

How did you determine that Richard's first wife was named Anne Parsons? Just curious because the information I read says that her last name is unknown. If you have figured the name out, that would be great!

JoniRabena — 2009-05-02 13:53:21Z

I have also posted to Schnedler Board in the past and no one seems to have further information. I am trying to locate a married record for Lydia Elizabeth Doak Lee whose second marriage was to John Schnedler, brother of Frederick Schnedler. All of the trees have this information but, unless it's just not on-line, I can't seem to find an actual marriage paper. I am also trying to find divorce records for Lydia and her first husband, Jesse William Lee. They were together in Iowa in 1915. She died in 1918. That doesn't give them a whole lot of time to get divorced and remarried. I'm also trying to locate John's descendents by his first marriage. If there is anyone in that family who has done research, they may have additional information. Thanks for responding!

What is the connection between Joseph H. and John Amos? Is there one? Do you know Joseph's father's given name?

Re: Joseph H Buffington of NE

RichardCCasey — 2009-08-15 18:20:05Z

Joseph was raised by his mother's parents after her death. As his father died the same year as his birth I had the impression he was an only child of Abraham Columbus Buffingon and Unknown Jackson.

I have a George A. Buffington, b abt 1871, Iowa who was the son of Joseph Riley Buffington, M.D. and Cynthia Ann Sargent. They divorced. Dr. Buffington practiced medicine in Nebraska. The George A. had one brother William Q. by his mother and 2 brothers from his father's second wife (Josephine Estelle Malcolm) Leroy Alvin and Fred R. Buffington.

If you can give me more information on the George Andrew to whom you refer I give you better help.

Re: Joseph H Buffington of NE

Joseph Hiram was the son of Abraham Columbus Buffington and unknown Jackson. He was raised by his maternal grandparents, grandfather Joseph Hiram Jackson for whom he was named. His paternal grandparents were Abraham Columbus Buffington and Hannah Layton.

John Amos Buffington was Joseph Hiram Buffington's uncle - son of the elder Abraham Columbus and brother of the younger Abraham Columbus.

Pamela / Pamelia / Caleb Buffington - Delaware County PA

ltguidetti — 2009-06-09 17:22:25Z

Hi - I'm looking for the parentage of my ggggmother, Pamela (or Pamelia) Buffington b. @1799 in Sneath's Corner (what is now Brookhaven), Delaware County, PA. She married Seth Thomas from Nether Providence, and they are buried in the Old Union Methodist Cemetery in Wallingford.

We believe that her father may have been Caleb Buffington, who was on tax lists in Delaware County during that time period in Chester, Middletown and a couple of other southern Delco townships. However, in all of the Buffington histories (including the books) there seems to be a dead end with any Caleb born in that time era - and most of those live in Chester County. There are no Pamelas mentioned at all.

Does anyone out there have any Calebs or Pamelas they're looking to connect? Thanks!

Re: Pamela / Pamelia / Caleb Buffington - Delaware County PA

ltguidetti — 2009-06-11 01:17:52Z

Oh, and I mean that the one Caleb from Chester County is from the E. Marlboro Twp area, that vicinity, which is not near the Brookhaven area.

Re: Pamela / Pamelia / Caleb Buffington - Delaware County PA

ltguidetti — 2009-06-11 01:16:01Z

The county has nothing really to do with it - the areas that I mentioned are in what is now Delaware County, that is where he lived, whether it was part of Chester or Delaware County. He is on their tax records. There is also more than one Caleb Buffington.

As for Caleb, son of John - what info do you have on this Caleb? Where was he from? Who was his wife, his children? Thanks --

Re: Pamela / Pamelia / Caleb Buffington - Delaware County PA

PaulCPalmer10 — 2009-06-10 16:03:17Z

In view of the fact that Delaware County was part of Chester County until 1789, are you perhaps placing too much importance on the confusing county designations? I have a Caleb Buffington, son of John Buffington, born 1745.

According to a posting on the Buffington GenForm dated 13 Sept 2003 (posting #1041) Jacob was born in 1837 to Enoch and Lydia TROUTMAN BUFFINGTON and married Sarah FETTER. They had seven children between 1860 & 1871. There is much more in the posting, which appears to be from serious research.

Sorry about the vague post, new to all of this.

So this is what I have:

Jefferson, Dauphin, Pennsylvania.

Married to 'Sarah' (that's all I have for that).

Children: Elias George Buffington.

Jacob Buffington

matsellah — 2009-05-06 00:39:35Z

I'm trying to fill out our family tree and I've hit a dead end.

Going back, the earliest person I have in the Buffington line is Jacob. He had a son, Elias (b. 1867) who married Sarah Nulf (b. 1873) and they had a daughter, Effie (b. 1895) of whom I am a descendent.

If anyone can clue me into discovering Jacob's parents (and beyond!), would be greatly appreciated.
