William Bucklin, Our Six-hundred Acre Ancestor
By Kristen Ingram
"His first land in the New World was in 1634 on the north side of
Weary-All Hill. The ship Elizabeth Dorcas brought his wife, Mary
Bosworth, his small son, his wife's parents, and her brothers. He was born
around 1606, christened 23 Nov 1606 and died in 1683, leaving offspring who
helped build the new country and defended its independence in the American
Revolution." . . .Read

[Ed. note about this story and the author: This
compelling narrative of William's life was donated to the Joseph Bucklin Society
by professional writer Kristen Ingram, one of William's
tenth-great-granddaughters. At that point in her noted career, Kristen
Ingram was working on her "something past the 18th" book. She says her two
favorites are (a gift book) "I'll Ask My
Grandmother: She's Very Wise" and "AngeI in the Senate"(a murder mystery). (Click on the link to read more about them, or order them through our
bookstore.) Kristen is also the author
of over 200 (that's right!) magazine articles on health, how-to, religion, folklore, medical advances,
art, and music. She has written about 25 booklets for
the National Research Bureau on health, psychology, food, natural history, and
relationships. If that is not enough, she also writes write short fiction
articles for magazines,
and is best known for fiction for computer magazines. She and her husband
Ron live at the edge of the woods in Springfield Oregon, with their Shih-Tzu dog
and a criminal cat.]
Ingram has provided a
Documents Events
Report of some of the sources drawn on by her for her story of William's
life.
 If you want to dig further: we do have a
formal "scholar's" biography of William Bucklin (b. ca. 1606). That
biography has most of all the known facts about William, even a
discussion of the "Two Williams" theory.
