Surnames: BUCKINGHAM Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.muskingum/6167.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm very tired, have insomnia, so I may not have made myself clear. I have completed so much research. I know who Philo's parents are. This is what I have compiled: Philo Buckingham, born abt. 1795, CT, married 1817 in Ohio; Frederick Buckingham, born 1827, Ohio, parents Philo Buckingham and wife; RECORDS: 1820 U.S. Census: Hocking Cty, Ohio, 1 male under 5 years; 1830 U.S. Census: Hocking Cty, Ohio, 2 males under 5 years and 2 of five years and under 10, 1 of 10 and under 15; 1840 U.S. Census: Swan, Hocking Cty.,Ohio, 2 males under 5 years; 1 male 5 and under 10; 2 10 and under 15; 1 of 15 and under 20 (6 sons) The 1850 U.S. Census lists four sons: Joseph, Benjamin, Charles, Jacob M. I believe Philo Buckingham, born 1825,in Ohio is the 25 year old farmer listed in the same census in Harrison, Vinton Cty, Ohio. There is a Frederick (who lists his father born in CT) listed in the Illinois census that year. However, that same year in November, Frederick was in Ohio and married Mary Ann Stodart in Ross County. Frederick was listed in the 1900 U.S. Census in Illinois, but not in the 1910 census, but Mary Ann is listed in it in Illinois living with her sister Hester. I believe Frederick died at some time between 1900 and 1910 in Illinois. I guess what I am looking for is a birth record, etc. that would show Frederick was born about 1827 to Phil and Imogence. I know there were quite a few Buckinghams that moved from CT to Ohio at that time, and moved around, so I hope all this will not be in vain. I am the great grand daughter of Isaac and Sarah B. Metzger Buckingham of Fayette County, In! diana. My Mother was their grand daughter, and she named me after Sarah. I have two older female cousins named Mary Ann and Nancy (for Nancy Parsons Manlove, my grandmother's mother). That was a trend in both families to pass down female first names. Again, thank you for your interest and help.
