My earliest known BUCKLAND is John born abt 1583 in England. His son William born about 1606 probably Weymouth, Dorset, England came with the Winthrop Fleet in the 1630s. He died 1 September 1683 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., MA. There were 2 more generations of William BUCKLANDS directly descended & in 25 Sept 1757 George W. BUCKLAND was born in CT. He served as Private in Capt. Chapman's Company, Col. Parson's Regiment, of the Continental Army CT Militia in the Revolutionary War. His wife, Elizabeth LATHROP, is a direct descendant of Mayflower pilgrims.
George died December 12, 1843; Elizabeth died 21 September 1843. They are buried in the Buckland Cemetery, Manchester, CT, each with their own gravestone.
