Hello List, We have been trying to determine if Israel or Alpha left a will. We have Israel's complete Military Record's from the NARA. We are still attempting to prove the relationship between Alpha and his son Israel m. Mariah Boal. We have found no evidence to this point in Illinois regarding this Israel's death, we did find the record of his 2nd marriage that tied him to Alpha. We are still hoping to find a way to tie him to his son Charles Franklin Buker for the purposes of the DAR and FFO. If any of you Buker researchers have found anything then we would certainly appreciate the help. So far all the FFO applications do not mention Israel as a son of Alpha. We have not received all of them as yet though. Thank you all and Happy Holidays. Jan Buker
