I see you have done a lot on the Iams names. ---- If possible I'd like to offer more of what I have for the Simon/Mary family and ask a question at the end. ---- First, I show that Simon died before Francis M. Buckingham was born on 15 Sep 1887. (I wonder who Francis is. I have 5 other Francis Buckingham names, NO fit w/1887 birth year) 1955 Year Book of the PA Soc of the S.A.R., p 138, Simon Buckingham, d. Jan 22, 1873. ---- 1870 Census WV, Barbour Co, Phillippe twp, Rl M593_1684, pg 94, 290/292, 29 Dec 1870, Simon Buckingham, 31, m, w, lawyer, 1500, 700, PA; Mary A Buckingham, 28, f, w, PA; Charles E Buckingham, 5, m, w, WV; Minnie J Buckingham, 3, f, w, WV. ---- In 1880 Mary and her 3 children are living w/her parents in PA. (After Simon died) There are MANY errors with surnnames, relationships and the state the children were born in. But, in looking at the given names and ages for Mary and her children the fit is apparent. 1880 Census PA, Greene Co, Center twp, rl 133, p 139-140, , 204/204, 21 Jun 1880, Samuel Iams, w, m, 63, m, Farmer, PA, PA, PA; Nancy Iams, w, f, 62, wife, m, PA, PA, PA; Carrie Iams, w, f, 32, dau, s, PA, PA, PA; Mary; Buckanan, w, f, 38, house servant, s, PA, PA, PA; (sb Buckingham, dau, wd) Sherman Iams, w, m, 20, son, s, PA, PA, PA; Charles E Iams, w, m, 15, son, s, PA, PA, PA, (sb Buckingham, GdSon & WV, PA, PA) Minnie J. Iams, w, f, 13, gddau, s, PA, PA, PA, (sb Buckingham, WV, PA, PA); Ellie Iams, w, f, 7, gddau, s, (sb Buckingham, WV, PA, PA) ---- Can you share the source of your info on Francis and the other children who died young (Samuel, Lilly & Lucy) in between the 1870 & 1880 census reports? Was it from Bible records or ??? FYI, my Mother did a large typescript on the WM Buckingham family in 1961. It is in many libraries and I carrying on the work she began, (Her 3400 names are now over 14000, with close to 1000 Buckinghams, only 7 Iams). Thank you again for what ever you can share.
