Re: John and Margaret Buff / Buff Cemetery

Shame on me! I recently found that somebody used the parent information for John Buff, Jr. as written gospel and published it! I can only speculate that my John Buff, Jr. is the son of John Buff, Sr. and Elizabeth Haus. This speculation has also come from others researching the Buff surname, but to my knowledge, there has not been any documentation found to confirm this.

If you have ever researched the Buff line, I am sure you have found the name John passed down through generations and numerous Johns from the same time frame in different families or the same area. Lovingly known as the "name game".

For the most part, I can prove what I have found, but this is one I can not.

LESSON LEARNED.

Buf7 — 2009-08-11 18:05:32Z

I was born in NYC in 1950 and adopted shortly thereafter in Westchester County, NY. I am trying to find any living relative of the Buff family (my biological family).
I know there were 3 other siblings that were not adopted.
Two girls ages 80 and 71 approximately, and one boy, 78.
Mother was born 1911, and father, who worked as a waiter,
in 1909.

My Buff line stems primarily from Boston in Lincolnshire. How about you? My Grandfather was also named John Buff. He lived in Chesire and left for S.Africa in 1895, where my father was born.

Seeking information on the family of Willie Z. Buff, born c1923 in Alabama. Willie married on August 26, 1943 in Jackson Co., Alabama; however, the marriage index does not list the name of the husband.

William can be found in Hamilton Co., TN in the 1920 census. He is widowed. Viney Swink Buff was living in 1911 at the time of birth of Julius W. Buff (later seen as Walter J. Buff in 1930 census). Not sure if Viney died in Ga. or in Tn.

1930, William is in Jackson Co, Ala. and remarried to the widow Tennie Maness. The marriage took place c1925, unknown location at this time. William and Tennie had 2 children, dtr. Willie Z. c.1923 and son Dorval B. c. 1926. Also in the home in the 1930 census are 2 of Tennie's children from her previous marriage, Mytrle M. c1911 and George K. c. 1913. Each of these children's last name are shown as BUFF.

well ok I am also descended from this line of Buffs, after many years of doubling chking the info it seems this is the right line. If you have anymore names beyond Martin Amos I would appreciate the help. Have you found any native american blood in the family? Cuz we were told that the Buffs carried it, but I haven't found any such proof? I think it is awesome you have all that info on the family though. It helped me tremendously.

John and Margaret Buff / Buff Cemetery

vbquillan — 2008-02-27 03:36:57Z

At the BUFF Cemetery there is a marker at the entrance of the cemetery that reads:
In Memory of John Buff (Nov. 2, 1801) & Margaret Buff (Sept. 4, 1799). Does anybody know who these people are? Is this a husband and wife? Brother and sister? I descend from John Buff (son of John Buff, Sr). John Buff, (Jr.) married Alice (Allie) Watts. From what I have found John Buff, Sr. married Elizabeth Haus. John Buff, Sr. was the son of Michael. So, who is this John and Margaret Buff that is supossedly buried at the Buff Cemetery. I have been albe to verify who most of the Buff are that are buried at this cemetery. Alice Watts Buff is buried in an unmarked grave or one marked by fieldstones. I took pictures of this cemetery in Sept. 1999.

Re: William H. BUFF - V. Emeline "Emma" SWINK - Burke, Cleveland Counties of N.C.

MaryHarmon28 — 2008-02-12 19:47:14Z

Following is information I have found on the "Buff" family in which my Emeline Swink married into:

1. Marriage License dated 11 Feb 1891 of W. H. Buff, age 22, s/o Joseph Buff and Fannie Buff, the father now dead, the mother living, resident of Burke and V. E. Swink, age 21, d/o Harrison and Emeline Swink, the father living, the mother living. Married by J. J. Shoup, Justice of the Peace 20 Feb 1891 at Harrison Swinks Residence in Lower Fork Twp. in Burke County, N.C.

2. There are no Burke County delayed birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates or tombstones for the members of the Joseph Buff family.

3. There are several Burke County Grantor Deeds involving William H. and Viney Buff, but no Grantee Deeds.

4. In Deed P-3:65, W. H. & Vinie E. Buff are selling the 60 acres that came to him as noted in Special Proceedings Docket #6, page 507. This is Lot #3, W. H. Buff's share of Joseph Buff's lands {deceased}, and there is no grantee deed for this acreage, which is rather normal. When an estate was divided, seldom did the grantees bother to take the deed to the court house to have it registered. The Special Proceeding Docket was not examined. It appears this family had gotten into debt and decided to sell out on the 26 Jan 1904. They are on the 1900 Burke County Census and then they just disappear. This deed was not registered until 13 Nov 1912.

5. The above family was not found in the 1910 & 1920 HeritageQuest's censusus online. Also a search in NC & SC did not produce any results. {See Georgia below}

6. Buff Cemetery, Burke County N.C. tombstone transcriptions: Infant Buff, Mar 1909, 5 days old, s/o AT & Roxanna; Fannie Buff, Dec 1830 - 23 Dec 1912 w/o Joseph; Joseph Buff, 52y, 9m, 29d, Aug 1, 1878. {He was born c1826}; H. W. Buff, 22y, 5m, 25d, 19 Apr 1876; Joseph R. Buff, 06 Mar 1901-23 Sep 1902, s/o Hud & Cordie.

7. 1850 Fed. Cen. Rcd., NC, Cleveland Co., Dated 09 Oct 1850: Joseph Buff, age 24, male, Blacksmith & Farmer; Living with a Robert Chapman, age 24, Eliz. Chapman, age 26, Peter Chapman, age 2; William Chapman age 10/12.

10. 1880 Fed. Cen. Rcd., NC, Burke County, Dated 17 Jun 1880: Joseph Buff is deceased; Fanny Buff, age 50; Peter Buff, age 23, David Buff, age 22, Joseph Buff, age 16, Riley Buff, age 13, William Buff, age 11, Aaron Buff, age 9. {Enumerated by a Alfred Cook, age 28 and family}

11. William H. Buff, s/o Joseph & Fanny married Viney Emeline Swink.

1900 Fed. Cen. NC, Burke County: William H. Buff, dob unknown, age unknown, married for 10 years, farmer; Viney E.

Buff, Dau., age 4, Geo. C. Buff, son, age 12/12 ?.

If anyone has anything different than this, please let me know. This is all the information I have on this family.

I'm posting this instead of sending individual emails since it looks like some other people may be researching "Buff".

The wife of Joseph Buff was Fannie Cook. I have a copy of the will of Joseph Buff, but it does not give the names of his children, they are only refered to as "my children".

I have done bits of reasearch on the family of Joseph and Fannie cook Buff since this line links to my direct Buff line.

I'll try to look through my piles of William's and see if I come up with anything.

Does anyone know the date that Arthur Buff died and where he is buried? Arthur was born 11-30-1920 in Haywood County, NC. He was the s/o Rufus Allen & Estella Trantham Buff who are buried @ Garrett-Hillcrest Memorial Park. Social Security gives Arthurs last residence as New Jersey and date of death as 9-1983. Any help appreciated. Linda

Seeking information on some of the Buff family in Cleveland co. My mother, b. 1936 was the daughter of Sallie Buff b.1905 in Rutherford Co. Sallie's mother was Mary Buff b. abt. 1888. who married Pink Buff the son of Robert Buff.
I know that Mary's mother was Margaret Buff who became a widow early, but am trying to find which Buff Margaret was married to. I have been told that Mary Buff and Pink Buff were cousins, possible first cousins. This family around 1918 had moved to Wilkes Co. Georgia where Mary's husband Pink was shot. Later they moved to Cherokee Co. SC. Anyone having any information on this line, please contact me at reepn@yahoo.com. Would love to get some information.

Vicki, I apologize for not looking at this message board in a long time. The 1870 U.S. Federal Census of Cleveland Co., NC lists the Peter Joseph Buff's family. I believe we might can connect some data here so I will email you personally. Thanks for your contact.

My (now deceased) brother in law was the grandson of Florence Etta Schnieder who married Chester Warner Webb. Florence was the daughter of Benjamin Andrew and Mary Serena Lee. I had a time figuring out that Mary Serena Lee and Martha Buff were first cousins, as Mary's father John Conway Jefferson Lee and Martha Buff's mother Nancy Lucinda Lee were brother and sister.. Both Nancy and JCJ Lee were children of Alfred Lee and Elizabeth Jane Selvidge. I've been doing this genealogy for my sister and nieces and nephew.
Let me know if I can help, I've got more.
