"I have some updates to add concerning the family of George and Rebecca Buckalew # 74 and their children especially Jacob Bucklew #196. I have just received the civil war pension records for Jacob Bucklew. He enlisted in company G, 7th Missouri Cavalry and Company L 1st Mo Cav as a Corporal. These records held a wealth of information. One application dated 1885, Jacob is 45 yrs, 5' 10", dark complexion, dark auburn hair, and hazel eyes and on another application dated 1907, his description at enlistment was: 5' 10", dark complexion, blue eyes, and black hair. This application also lists his birth date as 20th August, 1839 at Millersburg, Ohio. The pension record also contained a death record for Jacob. He died on 6th Nov, 1908 in Stillwell, Hancock County, Illinois and was buried at Chili Cemetery, Hancock County, Illinois on 10th Nov, 1908. There is a military headstone with Jacob Bucklew, Corp Co G 7th MO Cav but it has no dates on it at the Chili Cemetery. Jacob's death certificate listed his occupation as that of Postmaster. I have two copies of the Marriage record for Jacob Bucklew and Martha Jane Heaton. One from Hancock county and one was included in the pension records."
