The family dates back to the 1700's, prior to South Windsor separating from East Windsor and being incorporated as a separate town in 1845. I believe that family group also included Aaron Buckland who founded the Hilliard Mills in Manchester; there is more info on that at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hilliard_Mills Also, there are a lot of Buckland's buried here in town at Wapping Cemetery. I do not know if there is any relation to your Buckland, but I thought I would pass this along. Kevin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
