About those Buffingtons! May I get in on this? I am in the midst of efforts to get more details and documentation about my ancestor Peter BUFFINGTON (c1725-1779), born in Chester County, m. to Hannah WAITE in 1750. I know that three of his sons were Loyalists during the War of the Revolution, and that two of them (Moses and John) are said to have died in the war; that possibly Peter died also, but on the American side. Peter Jr. was a Loyalist, but survived and lived a normal life span. Peter Sr.'s daughter Hannah BUFFINGTON married Enoch (the blacksmith) PEARSON. Enoch and Hannah are my 3rd great grandparents. I know that Gilbert Cope quoted from a number of letters by and about Peter. Are those letters extant? Available online? I appreciate and will reciprocate for any help.
