Rhode Island Bucklin related place now
featured.
Squire Bucklin, b 1730, and Hope Ballou, by their marriage, joined two prominent
families of Rhode Island. This house is the house they built in Foster,
RI, where he was a blacksmith. Although the house is now much altered, it stands with the same foundation,
with the same outline, and on the
same place as it originally was built. "Squire" goes down in history with the
first name of "Squire", although he may simply have used that first name because he had enough money to
be considered part of the local gentry when
he moved into the sparsely populated area of Foster.
