Buckland Family

   Article from Sandy Buckland

Levi Stanley , who's father was Owen Stanley & mother Harriet Wharton, her parents

were Fanny Stanley & John Wharton

 Married Matilda Joles, her father was Ephraim Joles all from England

 FAMOUS FOR BECOMING KING & QUEEN OF TRIBE OF STANLEY IN OHIO USA

 They came form Reading Berkshire area to USA in 1856 with families.

 The extended families of Levi Stanley can be found in New York,IIIinois,Mississippi, Tennessee,, Arkansas, Ohio.

Levi Stanley & Brother Benjamin Skinner Stanley came over to USA in 1854 and went back in 1856 to get their parents and then returned to the USA.

Benjamin Skinner Stanley married Mary Hicks

Elizabeth Skinner Stanley  (Sister of above)married Cornelius Hicks

 The Hicks family settled in Masshusetts USA

If anyone can help me to connect this huge family would be appreciated the main thing is I don't know if they all stayed in USA or returned to England.

My family the BUCKLANDS some stayed in America but some came back to England .I know Tenant & Keziah Buckland and several of their children went over and came back many times.

Last time they went to USA was in 1904 on the SS Carpathia they then stayed there and died in USA buried in Grove Church Cemetery New Jersey.

I have found relations in USA to confirm this and USA Census records that show the family were in 1910 & 1930 in USA

Tenett & Keziah Buckland first child was Trypena born 1852 St Blazey Cornwall, she must have died as no mention of her on this passenger list.

 They then had a daughter Edith Buckland born 1853 , she married Wisdom Smith in Bromsgrove 1872, she died in 1891 27th July aged 38 buried in Honiton Devon, I am puzzled as to why she isn't mentioned on either list .

Nelson Buckland who is listed ,was my Great grandfather he married Betsey Smith 1874 Plymouth , her father was James Smith .

 Nelson went again with Tenant & Keziah to USA in 1886 on the SS Teutonic , then returned about 1890 , the reason I say that date is because my grandfather Jim & his brother Moses were both born in USA 1887 & 1889

When he returned his family settled in Kingsbridge Devon and he died in 1908.
