Bucklin military noteables (They all gave noteable service.)

This section of our website is hopefully going to be expanded when we receive a contribution of a few hundred dollars.  We have the information, but no money or volunteers to put it into electronic format and get it on the website.

Bucklin family members have always shown traits of courage, zeal, faith, duty, and honor.   There are many notable examples of military service, starting with Benjamin Bucklin, the 17th century son of William Bucklin.  Benjamin was elected a town trooper,. He was slain at the start of an early Indian war when he and nine other men were engaged in an expedition to protect the colony.  A monument to those nine men is in Rhode Island.
