3022. Eliza M. Buckalew. Born on 20 March 1856 in Trenton, MO. Eliza M. died in Drumright, Creek Co., OK, on 22 August 1943; she was 87.
"Eliza M. Buckalew b March 20, 1846 (this is date on gravestone) Trenton, MO. d Aug 22, 1943 Drumright, OK, Creek Co. m Aug 9, 1875 Henry Clay Kirby, Greencastle, MO."
The above birthyear is problematical since in 1860 and 1870 censuses Eliza M.'s birthyear is established as about 1857. Something to work on.
I think it probable that her death certificate and tombstone had her birth year wrong, early by ten years.

I am the great, great granddaughter of Eliza M. Buckalew. She was born somewhere in Missouri, and was married to Henry Clay Kirby on Aug 8, 1875 some place in MO.
They relocated sometime to Drumright Oklahoma. Eliza was born March 20, 1847 and died August 22, 1943. About 2 years ago my aunt got a copy of some of the Buckalew history could you tell me if you have any more information on the Buckalews since then or any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
