Sixth Generation (Continued)
Family of Richard Buckalew Sr. (101) & Mary Garrett (?)

299. George Buckalew. Born about 1744 in Edgefield Co., SC. George died before 1806; he was 62.

"Documented as eldest son.

"The only record of this George in Mecklenburg Co., NC, is he was on the 1766 Militia list. He should not be confused with George b. ca 1760, son of Jonathan, who lived in Mecklenburg Co., NC"

1758: Proven to be a son of Richard as early as this date, according to Loudoun County, VA, Order Book A:269, and as the eldest he is the heir to his father's estate as proven by land records dated 3 June 1785. (Edgefield County, SC, Deeds 7:45) He married Mary________, as shown by the latter record. In the Ninety-six District 1790 Census, the family consists of one male over 16, two males under s6 and three females. He a Juror 13 Oct 1788 (Court of Common Pleas, Edgefield County, SC) and had been a foot soldier on 7 June 1766 in NC and, like his father, had served with the Loyalist Militia from the Stevens Creek area. He served with the 96th Brigade from 13 Jan to 14 Dec 1780: 61 days from 24 April to 24 June 1781 in Captain Alexander Wylly's Co. of King's Rangers (Loyalists) of Augusta, GA. Then, again, for another 61 days from 24 Oct to 24 Dec 1781 with the same group from Savannah, GA (Murtie June Clark, 1981; Loyalists In The Southern Campaign;, Vol 1 pp 82, 83, 238 and 243).
Entered SC about 1765.

1762 on tithable list. At least age 16.

1766, in Mecklenburg Co., SC, with wife Mary. Ezekiel Wallace was a neighbor. Namesake for a son Ezekiel? If so Ezekiel Buckalew would not be John's son. It would fit.

1773, 4 Feb.: Maybe the George Buckalew who witnessed a real estate transaction...James Cheek & his wife Ann selling to Samuel Pearson, both of Berkeley Co. Witnesses: Thomas Hamton, William Cheek, George Buckelew (who would have been only 15 years old).

1785 Ogden Cocerroff bought 50 acres of an original grant dated June 14, 1772 in Colleton County from George Bucklue, Edgefield Co. (Deed Book 7: 1792-94)

1787 - State land grant, Edgefield Co., SC, 430a on Stephen's Creek: "Ogdain Cockroft a plat for 430a of land surveyed 24 Jan 1787 by William Frazier on an order certified by Robert Anderson 21 Jan 1787 and lands located in Edgefield of 96 Dist. on Little Stephens Creek & by vacant lands & lands of Richard Bucalew, the Everley lands, the Bartain lands & Everley lands."

1800-1806 George dies.

1806 Moses sells George's land.

Probably a different George: Coshocton Co., OH, Salem Cemetery (Northrn Cosh. Co.): George Bucklew, born in Louden (Loudoun) Co., VA in 1806. There's a county death record that says a George Bucklew who died 10 Dec 1903 in Clark Twp, DOB: 1806. I think this may be the son of George (b. 1758), son of Richard.

"George and James Buckalew were neighbors. George has a male living with him b. 1784-1790 and james has two males living with him b. 1784-1790. See"Dangling" - We have Zebulon, Ezekiel & Elijah all born in that time period. Zebulon married Mary "Polly" Rayley, thought, not proved, to be daughter of Abraham Raley who lived in the same area as the Buckelews. "

Before 1785 when George was 41, he married Mary. Born about 1762 in Edgefield Co., SC.

"Mary is living 10 May 1790 when she signed deed. Mary did not join George in the 1791 deed to son Moses, but this is not proof that she is deceased because Edgefield Co. court minutes 1791 to 1793 are missing. She would have released her dower in court when not joining in deed. "

1785, 3&4 Jan;Edgefield, SC Deed of Lease & Release: GEORGE B...and HIS WIFE, MARY..., both men planters from Ninety Six Dist.,...

They had the following children:
684 i. Zebulon Madison (1784-1876)

300. Samuel Buckalew. Born about 1745. Samuel died before 1766; he was 21.

1764 on tithable list with Richard. At least 16. If son of Richard, probably died before 1766.

301. Frederick Buckalew. Born in 1746 in Loudoun Co., VA. Frederick died in Twiggs Co., GA, in 1830/1840; he was 84.

"Document son. His name is given 1st in his father's VA lease, indicating he is older than John. "

Summary by Mrs. N.F. Fain, Sr., Rt. 2, Box 393 C, Quincy, FL, 32351 (28 Feb 1980 in letter to C.O. Buckellew, 1 East Upshaw, Temple, TX, 76501): George B. Buckalew was father of Richard and Frederick was son of Richard. Frederick was father of William, who married Linnie Proctor, and they lived in Monroe Co., according to records at Forsyth, GA. They owned land in Monroe Co., and records show that William deeded land to School Trustees off Johnson Road, for an Academy.

Possibly Fredrick, grandfather of Milton Marshall Buckalew:
Mrs Keith H. Meservy, Provo, Utah, writes: "Frederick, as per deeds of Loudoun County, VA (Loudon County, VA, Deeds, Book C, p. 521). On 5 June 1786, he witnessed a deed of Samuel Lewis regarding land originally granted to Garret Buckalew. It is probably he who "went off with the Tories" and was in GA for a time. He also served with the Loyalists 182 days in the same company with Garrett in Colonel John Cotton's Regiment of the 96th Brigade (Murtie June Clark, 1982, "Loyalists In The Southern Campaign," Vol 1, p 247).

Most Immediate--
1763, 8 Mar; Loudoun Co., Virginia; Lease for Lives: Thomas Lord Fairfax of Frederick Co, Va Colony, to Richard Bucklew of Loudoun Co...land...The lease was given for the lives of Richard and his sons, Frederick & John. (M/Ppl, p. 268).

Sources indicate he entered S.C. about 1767.
The first major battle of the Revolution in the south was that of the Ninety Six Courthouse in SC, not far from the Little Stevens Creek land of Richard and Garrett Buckalew. Less that 600 fortified patriots were attacked by almost 2,000 loyalists on Nov. 19, 1775. The three-day battle ended in a truce. However, a patriot campaign the next month destroyed the loyal resistance in SC for a while, and this could have been when Frederick Buckalew "went off with the Tories" at the age of 20 years.

1775, Edgefield Co, SC, Attainders & Confiscations: FREDERICK BuckILOW was in Captain Coursey's Company of Loyalists.

1780, 14 Jun-12 Dec; Loyalist Pay Abstract No.?: Pvts FREDERICK BuckelIN (#1) and Garret BucklOW (#13) received 6 months pay for serving with Col. John Cotton's Reg., Stevenson's Creek Militia, 96 Brig., Capt. Denas Nowland's Co., served under Maj. Ferguson. From "Loyalists in the Southern Campaign", Vol. 1, p 238-239, by Clark.

Gerry Green writes (p.44), "Many Loyalists returned to England, and some fled to Canada. The common, pro-England colonists who chose to remain in their old communities would, likely, have had to deal with prejudice...I guess I'll always wonder what happened to Frederick Buckelew, the Loyalist from Edgefield County. Perhaps he is the most intriguing southern Buckalew of all. I'm glad his side didn't win--but I'm proud of him for standing up for what he thought was right."

(I believe that Frederick is the father and James is the elder of the two sons, William, the younger.)

Frederick Buckelew received land in the 1820 Land Lottery of Georgia for his service in the American Revolution. This information is recorded in "The Authentic List of All Land Lottery Grants Made to Veterans of the Revolutionary War by the State of Georgia." Taken from Official State Records in the Surveyor-General Department housed in the Georgia Dept. of Archives and History, 1516 Peachtree,N.W. Atlanta,Ga. Compiled by Alex M. Hitz, Officer in Charge, Surveyor-General Dept., by authority of Ben W. Fortson,Jr. Secretary of the State of Georgia. Atlanta 1955. The records in this office show that Land Lot Number 52, of the 11th District and Section of originally Irwin County,Ga. containing 490 acres, was granted to Frederick Buckelew, REV.Sol., of Twiggs County on Feb. 7, 1824. The grant is registered in Grant Book Irwin II, page 42. The plat of survey is registered in Survey Book III, Page 93, drawn in the 1820 Land Lottery. Doug

1830 Twiggs Co, GA, Census Index: FREDERICK BuckalOw, head of household, and one female, both between 70 and 80 years old. (That would establish their birth years as between 1750 and 1760.)

"Regarding DAR record on Frederick...DAR has many errors. Frederick is a proven loyalist who went to GA and stated he served in the Rev. War, failing to say which side. DAR probably accepted a GA land grant as proof of his servic. The DAR line could be corrected with the proof of loyalist service. Then DAR would close the line. It would not be the 1st such case."

My note: In the absence of proof we are justified in dealing in probabilities. There are numerous accounts of Americans who, at the outset of the Revolution, enlisted or were conscripted into the British forces. Sometimes the individual was a part of a standing militia organized under and commanded by a British officer, and the unit was activated as a part of British forces. Then, in many cases, these Americans, who were initially a part of Loyalist forces, became better informed, had changes of heart, or gained the opportunity, and joined Patriot forces. I suspect that this is what happened with our Frederick here.

Les, I thought you might be interested in this statement concerning the Revolutionary War in the South. Summer 1780--The fall of Charleston and the capture of the entire American southern army did a great deal to encourage loyalism in the the South. Clinton established a string of British outpost across South Carolina and all over the state. Americans declared their
loyalty to the crown. Clinton's first proclamations were designed to reinforce this mood. He declared that all those who had rebelled against King George would receive a pardon so long as they now went home and behaved themselves. Most Whig leaders did just that. But on June 3 Clinton reversed himself. His new proclamation declared that passive neutrality was not enough. Only those who took an active part in settling and securing His Majesty's government would be forgiven. Many men who might have remained out of the war altogether were thereby forced to choose between active support and opposition.

" Throughout the rest of the summer, warfare in the Carolinas was characterized by frequent and bitter skirmishes between
groups of American partisans rather than by battles between American and British regulars. Neighbor fought neighbor in this brutal conflict and neither side took many prisoners. When prisoners were taken, they were often executed afterward, especially if they were identified as individuals who had fought on one side and then changed their loyalty."... Doug

302. Garrett Buckalew. Born in 1750 in Edgefield Co., SC. Garrett died in Bowling Green, Pike Co., MO, on 2 September 1828; he was 78.

I found a book on microfilm at my local LDS Family History Center that seems to pertain to your Beans, but gives some different dates, places, and other spouses for some of your people.

It is called "Poorets: George Washington Bean: Mormon Pioneer of 1847:Indian Interpreter, Explorer, Judge" by James A. Bean, published by Jim Bean Associates, Los Gatos, California, (c)1992, printed by Bookcrafters Inc., Chelsea, MI. Call # US/CAN;929.273;B374bj.

Garrett Buckalew, b. 1750 at OLCV, MN, Edgefield Co., SC [no explanation of "OLCV, MN"]; m. 1775 to Polly Newton, b. ca.1752, Edgefield, SC; d. ca 1828 in Bowling Green, Pike Co., MO.

1762 on tithable list with Richard. At least age 16. Moved to Mecklenburg Co., NC, & Edgefield Co., SC.

1766, in Mecklenburg Co., NC, married to Polly Newton.

Mrs. Keith H. Meservy, Provo, Utah, writes (with my corrections and/or slight modifications): "Garrett Buckalew was first mentioned in the 1762 & 64 tax roles of Cameron Parish, Loudoun County, VA, as being in the same household as Richard. While no direct evidence exists that he was son of Richard, we believe the circumstantial evidence is sufficient in substantiating this claim. He, along with Richard, moved from Loudoun County, VA, to Mecklenburg Co., NC, and thence to Edgefield Co., SC. Another fact that bears this out is that the name Garrett is perpetuated in John Buckalew's family descendant's in Alabama We have proof that John is a son of Richard.

"George, Frederick and John, all known sons of Richard, were along on these moves from Loudoun Co., VA, to Mecklenburg Co., NC. Garrett and Richard not only owned land adjacent to each other, and witnessed each others deeds in SC, but Richard also did some of the legal work on certifying Garrett's land.

"Garrett Buckalew is the first known ancestor to be pulled into the skein drawn by the Mormon practice of baptism for the dead, and he, his wife, and all of his children are mentioned in the 'Mormon baptismal records for the dead' in the 19th century. His wife is there called Mary or Polly Newton. It is suggested in one source that she was a daughter of John Newton, but that point is not yet established. She is also believed to be a sister of Joseph Newton who took up land next to that of Garrett in SC. On 7 Sep 1793, Joseph was selling about 100 acres of land that had been originally granted to Garrett Buckalew 11 April 1798. He also went to Christian Co. KY, about the same time as did the Buckalews, so it seems quite possible that he and Polly are of the same family.
"As has already been stated, in 1766 Garrett was listed as a foot soldier for Mecklenburg Co., NC, as was his presumed father and several of his presumed brothers.

"We find him next in SC receiving a Royal Land Grant along with Richard. In that state when a Royal Grant was issued, a Survey of Plat was made and certified, the Grant was issued, and then a Memorial Tax was exhibited--all at different times.

"In the SC Archives, Pre-Revolutionary Plats, 9:370 and 9:923-24 in 1770, Garrett Buckalew is shown having a plantation of 100 acres on Little Stephens Creek surved. It stated: 'bounded southwest by Richard Bucklew, and southeast by said Bucklew, all other sides by vacant lands.' This would seem to indicate that Garrett had other land previous to this but no record has been found of it. If this is his first land, then he seems to have been single, for he only got 100 acres. He was under the same stipulations as ...Richard concerning his land in order to make it secure for himself. In 1772, he and Richard Buckalew were taxed for their lands on Stephens Creek. Richard was the one who made the long trip to Charleston to take care of his and Garrett's business.
"He served a tenure of time at the 96 Courthouse on the Petit Jury during 1778-9.

"From 14 June 1780 until 13 Dec he served 172 days with the British Militia from "Stephensons" Creek in Capt Denis Nolan's Co., being part of the Colonel John Cotton's 96 Brigade ("Loyalists In The Southern Campaign," Vol 1, p 251; Murtie June Clark, 1981). This should be Stevens Creek not Stephenson's. Frederick was also in this company which was directly under Major Ferguson.
"He served as a witness to a deed of his brother, George, who was selling part of Richard's land, which, as eldest son, he inherited, to Alexander Bean.

"A 150 acre tract of land on a creek of Savannah River was surveyed for him 18 February 1786 in what was then Abbeville County (Abbeville Co., SC, Probate Court Book B, p 486) but the land is today in Edgefield County.

"In 1786, Garrett was sued or suing John Rainsford in Edgefield Co. (Edgefield Co., SC, Court of Common Pleas Record). A suit between him and Samuel Ramsey was dismissed in April 1787. Further explanations of these court actions have not been located.

"He again purchased 150 acres of land in 1788 on the South Ford of the Edisto River in the old Winton or now Barnwell County of SC. On 1 Aug of that same year, he bought 100 acres on Mactier Creek in Orangeburg District for 80 pounds sterling, which was on the same river course. This probably is the same land (Barnwell Co., SC, Deed Book 1-A, p 307). By Oct of that year, his land on Little Stevens Creek was owned by Ansel Beardon. His probable brother, Frederick Buckalew, witnessed this (Edgefield Co., SC, Deed Book 5, p 170).

"In 1789, he was serving as a Juror, and again in Barnwell Co., SC, in 1790.

"The 1790 Census of the 96th Dist. lists him with the following in his household: one male over 16, one male under 16 and six females, making a family of eight.

"In 1793, Joseph Newton bought 500 acres on brance of Little Stephens, bounding land of Garrett Buckalew. Garrett was called 'Planter of Edgefield,' 26 Mar 1795, when he sold to John Sloan part of his 269 acre tract on Long Branch on south side of the kEdisto for 100 pounds sterling (Edgefield Co., SC, Deed Book 20, pp28-32).

"On 30 Jan 1797, he witnessed deed of George Buckalew in Edgefield Co., SC, (Ref above, Bk L, p 543).

"On 11 April 1798, Joseph Newton, believed to be his brother-in-law, sold land to James Eddins on Little Stephens Creek, land that had originally been granted to Garrett Buckalew (Ref above, Bk 15, p 474).

"It is interesting that between 1770, when Garrett first appeared in SC, until 1795, a period of 20 to 25 years, he is on record dealing in a total of 619 acres of land in SC.

"Eliab Buckalew, only son of Garrett, is witness to the selling of land owned by Joseph Newton which bounded that of Garrett in Edgefield County on 13 Jan 1800. Both father and son and their families seem to be on their way to southwestern Ky in 1801 or soon thereafter. They appear on the tax lists of Christian County from 1803 through 1808. Both are listed living separately on 200 and 400 acres of land on the Muddy Fork and Little River and with one to three horses each.
"Garrett traveled west to the adjacent Livingston Co. where he signed, giving permission for his daughter Anna to marry William Bean 20 Jan 1803. On 28 Nov of that same year, daughter Sarah married Jesse Hughes, probable brother to Charles in the same county. The next year, on 22 Mar, daughter Dempsey married Henry Young. So their move to that county and state was providential, in that several of his daughters found their mates there.

1803-7 Tax Lists, Christian Co., KY: Included were Garrett Buckalew, Eliab Buckalew, William Bean, Sr. (through 1806) & William Bean, Jr. Garrett had 400 acres on Muddy Forks (now in trigg Co.), and Eliab had 200 acres.

"In the late summer or early fall (Sep or Oct) of 1809, Garrett, his wife, four of his sons-in-law and their families, along with the rest of his children, moved to eastern MO, then known as the St. Charles Dist., making a total wagon train of seven or eight families, "All of whom were poor in the things of this world, for they all together were only able to fit out one wagon," recalled Garrett's grandson and namesake, Garrett Bean. It is not even certain that the wagon was drawn by four horses, and a portion of their effects were transported on pack horses. They crossed the Mississippi near Idton and eventually settled in what was then St. Charles Dist., now Pike Co., MO. It was in that area that the rest of the daughters found companions and married. Elizabeth married Samuel Groshong; Lidia married first John Spears and, after John's death, George Myers; Celia married Joseph McCoy on 2 Jun 1808; and Temperance married Daniel W. McHugh about 1809.

"On 16 Dec 1811 southeast MO. had a violent earthquake which was followed by 8 more during the following year. Frequent Indian attacks also complicated their lives during this time. Several families such as the William McHughs (Daniel's parents) and the O'Neals lost members of their family in these attacks. It was necessary at such times to withdraw from their land and homes to the protection of the nearest forts.

"Jesse Hughes, Garrett's son-in-law, in 1814, settled four miles southwest of Clarksville. His brother John settled next to him three years later in 1817. Jesse had a smithy and plow factory on the creek bank. He made the prairie plows (spelled "ploughs" on his bills of account) that were used by the first settlers to break up the stubborn bottom praries there and around Bayville, Pike Co., IL. At the settlement of his estate in 1855 his property is valued at over $2000. He did have a male and female slave.

"In 1815, Garrett purchased 100 acres of land from David and Eleanor Dulaney of St. Charles Co., and later deeded part of that property to his son Eliab. Still later in 1824, 22 May, he sold 79 acres of land on Ramsey's Creek in Pike Co. to his son-in-law Henry Young.

"His son-in-law, Henry Young, preceded him in death. His administration bond being the 27th Nov 1827 wherein his posterity was declared and individually identified.

"Little is known of Garrett's last years, but he did leave a will dated 13 May 1824 and probated in 1828 at Bowling Green, Pike Co., MO. His wife Pollu seems to have preceded him in death as she was not mentioned in the will. The legal heirs were not named in the will, but were identified on 31 Dec 1834 in its administration."

By 1762, two other names are listed in Richard's household--Garrett and George. Unfortunately they didn't write down how they were kin to Richard.

Speculation: Richard's naming one of his sons Garrett was probably due to Garrett having been his wife Mary's maiden name.

On the 1765 Loudoun County tithable list Garrett was still in Richard's home, but George was out on his own, as was a Jonathan Buckalew, according to the Cameron Parish list.
In S. C. in 1771.

1799 & 1801, Jackson Co., GA, Tax Digest.

Sometime after 1790 Garrett Buckalew and his family removed to Christian Co., KY.

In 1834 in Marengo County, AL, John Buckalew, 78 years old, applied for a Revolutionary War veteran's pension. He stated he was born in Loudoun County, FA, and that his father died in the war. John had first enlisted in Edgefield County, SC, and he re-enlisted the last time in Mecklenburg County, NC. This confirms where at least some of the Virginia Buckalew men went.

We assume that the Buckalew family moved later in 1765, because the same Buckalew names appear in Mecklenburg County, NC, on a militia roster dated June 7, 1766: Richard, Jonathan, George, James and Garrett. Since, at that time, each colony regulated its own militia and most required mandatory service of all males, free and physically fit, who were between the ages of 16 and 60, that means these five Buckalews lived in the county, were not indentured servants, were in reasonably good health, and had likely been born between 1706 and 1750. This is the only time that Garrett's name, so far, has been found in North Carolina.

Richard and Garrett were the first Buckalews to appear in SC. A survey for a tract of land was ordered for Garrett in Nov. 1770. When the survey for Richard's 500 acres was ordered it was described as being adjacent to that of Garrett.

305. John Buckalew. Born on 9 February 1756 in Loudoun Co., VA.

"Documented son...birth from pension application--1763 VA land lease to father. John appears to be youngest son of that year."

Some sources speculate that this John was the son of Abraham #4066 and the grandson of John #270. I doubt this.

The Ezekiel and Richard that I have here do not appear on a copy of a family list, the original of which is in the possession of Norman A. Buckalew.

Volunteered to serve as a soldier at the age of 16 for the first raising of troops for the nation in SC, serving under Captain Purvis in a region commanded by General Andrew Williamson. Captain Purvis was promoted to Colonel and John Minton succeeded as Captain. John Buckalew went with the troops to St. Augustine where they remained, then marched to Midway Meeting House near the Oguch River in Georgia. From there the troops were disbanded and John returned home. Three months later, he again volunteered to serve in the Rifle Company under Captain Jefferson Williams and was attached to the regiment commanded by Colonel Purvis under General Williamson again. They marched from Edgefield District to the neighborhood of Orangeburg, SC, where they were engaged in frequent skirmishes. After three months service around Orangeburg the troops were again disbanded. The third time he enlisted he was stationed at Liberty Hill in SC and was engaged in scouting parties across the Savannah river into GA where his Major was killed. At the termination of his three months John again returned home. After several days home he went to Mecklenburg County, NC, and volunteered in a Horse Company in 1778. He served in the battles of Guilford, Hanging Rock, The Tools on the Catamba River, finally joining up with General Green. He served a total of two years. He lived in Edgefield County after the war until 1801 where he was a land owner. He was in the Edgefield Court of Common Pleas January 1790, suing William Robinson. In 1790 Census for Ninety-six District his family consisted of one male over sixteen, one male under sixteen and one female. His Revolutionary War Pension Application was first suspended but later granted after he was over 78 years of age. From Edgefield County he went to Christian County, KY, where he lived for four years, then to Pike County, MS, where they lived for 7 years, then to Clark County, AL, for one year and then finally settling for the remainder of his life in Marengo County, AL. We have not found a mention of his wife's name on any record we have examined, though he was married and had children.

Enter SC about 1769.

(AL) where I lived one year and then moved to this county...

From another source: This John fought in the American Revolution, most likely in the Middlesex regiment. The Scottish Presbyterians were among the first to join the continental army and most dedicated in fighting the British. Their comrades were often Dutch. The Presbyterians and the Dutch of the Reformed Church often shared the same church building. Some real confusion in the history of the Buccleuchs was generated by some members changing the spelling of their name to Barkalow and anglicized form of the Dutch von Barclow.

The above alternate source also states that this family moved to Bucks Co., PA, about 1793, and that they lived in the area that today is North and South Hampton. Catrine is buried there in the in the yard of the Dutch Reformed Church. A letter from one of their great grandsons suggested that John returned to NJ and is buried in Monmouth.

Child:
719 i. Richard (1787-~1890)

306. Zebulon Buckalew. Born in 1756.

Zebulon married Elizabeth. Nickname: Eliza.

307. William Buckalew. Born in 1758.

"For William to be child of Mary, then Mary would have to have been born not earlier than 1722, which would place her age 42 in 1764. p. 243, Mary's People by Gerry Green -- 9 July 1785 Audited Account:'Mr. Wm Buckalow he's act. of Duty in the Militia as Private since the reduction of Charles-Town. Charleston fell to the British May 12, 1780, so it was probably shortly after that date that William served. P. 204, Mary's People by Gerry Green--Burke Co., GA. Warrant for survey--100 acres on Newberry's Crk., adjoining land of Richard Burkloe, deceased, for William Burkloe. Elihu Burkloe received land in Bucke Co., GA. 10 Feb. 1786. Who?'"

"To have been son of Richard of Edgefield Co., he would have to have been born after 1750 and before Frederick and John or after 1963 VA Lease.

"Attention should be directed to the fact he is listed as Mr. Wm Buchalow in his audited account for Rev. War Service. The Mr. indicates he was a mature man or either a man of means or influence and that doesn't seem to apply to a son of Richard of Edgefield Co. that might be named William.

"P. 204, 'Mary's People--The Buckelews' by Gerry Green--Burk Co., GA warrant for survey--100 acres on Newberry's Crk, adjoining land of Richard Burkloe, deceased, for William Burkloe.

"If William Buchalow/Burkelow, who served in Rev. War in SC, is the same as the William Burkloe in Burk Co., GA, then it should be considered that he might have been of the Richard Burkloe family of Orangeburg Dist., SC.

"Too many questions and no evidence found as to who he was."

Possibly the William Buckelow who served "as a private under Col. Robert Anderson in 96th District, SC... His Revolutionary claim was lost and several letters are in the file concerning the claim...James M. Kelley of Columbia, SC, signs a receipt in full for this claim dated 10 Dec 1790.

"William Buckelow on 4th day of April 1783 signs with his X mark an order to Capt. Daniel Shaw for 'All my rights and titles to my claims.'

William married Sarah.

308. Thomas Buckalew. Born about 1758.

According to Elizabeth Axton, served with Richard, Jonathan, Geo., Garret Buckelew in 1766 in militia, Mecklenburg Co., NC.

309. Celia Buckalew.

310. Christini/Christianna (?) Buckalew. Born about 1757.

 On the Buckalew web page, Christini is listed as a daughter of Richard who married Alexander Bean,Sr. (not proven). I contacted Robert Bean in Arizona, and he sent me the following information. "Alexander Bean 1752-1812 of Scotland and Edgefield Co.SC was not related in any known way to my William Bean 1727 or his son William Bean 1754.  The latter two arrived Charles Town in 1767 from Londonderry.  Alexander and Christiana Matson-Cassey 1757-1837 arrived Charles Town in 1775 from Aberdeen-shire aboard the Georgia Packet, on which the ship's captain married them soon after setting sail.  This information is from "Clan MacBean in North America", Vol 2, pp. 260-261, published 1976 by Bernie & Carol Bean (1054 pages), and from Vol. 3, pp. 227-233, published 1982 by Bernie.  The latter pages are an undocumented, over-romanticized, much fictionalized account of Christiana's origin and their marriage.  It mentions an unconfirmed story that Christiana remarried (presumably age 55 or greated, bu second husband not identified. It goes on to say that one daughter of Alexander Bean and Christini married Joseph Still and another married James Still. Elizabeth BEan b c1780 married Joseph Still, and Isabella Bean 1786-1872 married James Still 1786-1849."   Doug

311. Ephama Buckalew. Born in 1768.

Ephama's parentage is uncertain.

On 3 Jan 1785, when George Buckalew sold 50 acres of Richard's original grant on Little Stevens Creek to William Green, she was one of the witnesses. She married John McCreless and purchased most of the household goods at the property sale of the estate of James McCreless, her father-in-law, on 14 Dec 1799. George Buckalew was also one of the purchasers (Edgefield County, SC, Record Book A, p 87, 1800).
