Good Lord John, They are all mine plus I have more. Richard Beauford DID NOT go to MO. He stayed in Culpepper County, VA. John Thomas did fight under George Washington as his Physician. It was his two sons William and John who went to MO as well as his daughter Nancy. John Thomas died at Point Pleasant and is the brother of my 3 x Grandfather and DAR patriot. I go back a long, long way. I will look forward to receiving the information. You are truly a wizard John. Thank you so very much, Fern K.

Fern, I found the following: Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri published 1888 - reprinted 1978 S. E. BUFORD, county collector, is a native of Missouri, born in what is now Iron County, September 1, 1849, and is the son of Pate and Arlotte (CARTY) BUFORD, natives of Virginia and Kentucky, respectively. The paternal grandfather, William, was an old Virginian by birth, and immigrated to Southeast Missouri at an early day, locating at Caledonia. He died in what is now Iron County. Pate BUFORD was a farmer by occupation, having followed this occupation all his life. He represented Reynolds County in the Legislature for two sessions, and was assessor of Iron County for some time. He was a very prominent man, and had many friends. He died in 1873. He was married twice, and was the father of thirteen children, eight by the first wife , and only three now living: James, William and Simeon E. He was the father of five children by his second marriage: Jane, Paschal, Thomas, George and Charles. S. E. BUFORD was reared in Iron County, on the farm, and educated in the common schools. When twenty years of age he engaged as clerk in Belleview, where he remained about one year. He then went to Pilot Knob, where he was in the employ of the Pilot Knob Iron Company, as clerk for five years. He was then appointed deputy sheriff for one year, and afterward engaged in merchandising in Reynolds County, where he remained for a few years. He then removed to Belleview, where he carried on the mercantile business for about a year. In 1875 he married Miss Eliza A. PICKARD, a native of Indiana. To them were born three children: William P., Oran J. and Della. In 1882 Mr. BUFORD was elected assessor of Iron County, and served one term. During this time he was employed by the St. Louis Ore and Steel Company as stock manager. In 1884 he was elected sheriff and held that position one term. In 1886 he was elected county collector, which term of office expires March 1889. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and he and wife are members of the Baptist Church. ======================================================
