Port Royal, VA + Buckner Family History | Roam Your Roots

[@jakemartin8723]

I work with the Caroline Historical Society, you should give them a try or talk with Herb Collins, he’s a local historian and has written many great books about Caroline Families

[@blb4356]

You are related to Thomas and Walker Buckner, who ran (CEO, EVP) New York Life Insurance Company in the early 20th century. They lived in Westchester County, and are buried in Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale NY. They are my direct relatives, who are part of the John Buckner tree.

Are you planning on writing a book? I would love to purchase such a writing. I have heard much of the history of Simon Bolivar (& Jr.), John and Phillip, as well. I am clueless beyond this. I would love to learn more, it deeply intrigues me.

[@RoamYourRoots]

No, not planning on writing a book on this family! There is so much information to sift through... maybe an article in a genealogical journal once I finally break through!

[@mistervacation23]

You're probably related to those Buckners around Conway Arkansas Morrilton, Mayflower, etc because they were originally from Tennessee

Which antique store did you go to? I’m in college in fredericksburg and go downtown all the time!

[@RoamYourRoots]

Blue Shark Antiques on Caroline St! Every time I've gone they've had a fantastic selection of old books!

Any connections with James Floyd Buckner (1894-1973) and his wife, Annie (or Anna) Bell Hargrove (Circa 1895 - 1955). They are my Great Grandparents. My grandfather was Howard Hargrove Buckner (Nov. 5th, 1923 - January 14th, 2014).
