Dear Fern, Your Col. Abraham Buford's obituary appeared in the July 4, 1833, Lexington Observer and Reporter. It reads, "Col. Abraham Buford of Scott Co.. Died of cholera June 26, 1833." The Sept. 9, 1833 Lexington Observer and Reporter had this obituary, "Mrs. Henrietta Buford, wife of Charles Buford of Scott Co. Died at Flat Rock, N.C., Aug. 31, 1833" Francis's obituary reads, "Francis K. Buford, of Woodford Co. Killed Sept. 3, 1836. Story in the December 7 Lexington Observer and Reporter" If you're interested in this I believe there are researchers at the Kentucky Room in the Lexington Library who will do research for you. I think they only charge copying fees & such, but I could be wrong. In the June 6, 1848, Lexington Observer and Reporter there is an obit for "James M., infant son of Henry & Bettie Buford. Died at the residence of James K. Marshall, in Bourbon Co., Monday, May 22, 1848." "Col. William Buford, of Woodford Co. Died Sept. 13, 1848. Sept 27, 1848 Lexington Observer and Reporter. "Mrs Frances Buford of Lancaster, consort of Col. Thomas Buford. Died of cholera July 8, 1849." July 11, 1849, Lexington Observer and Reporter. "St. Clair J. Buford, of Woodford Co.. Killed at Versailles during a fight with George W. Carter, former sheriff. Died July 18, 1851. Carter was held blameless." July 7, 1851, Kentucky Statesman. I think that's all of them. Since many of the names in the index appear in the same obituary, the book is actually rather small with only 221 pages, not counting the index. Roxanne
