MORE ABOUT OUR ---Division 1:
History Section These pages are
where you find history of:
(a) The Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations Colony, in the period 1600--- 1799, and England in the
same time period (with particular reference to the New England Bucklin families
and settlements and their spread to other places);
(b)
The 1772 Rhode Island capture and burning of the English ship Gaspee (with
particular reference to the legal and political background) and the period of
the early American Revolution. The Gaspee Affair was legally declared in
England as the first act of war and treason, and was the first deliberate
shooting an English military person. Find out about the people involved,
the English and American actions and reactions, and the rich history in our
history pages.
(c) Bucklin family daily life in 1600 to 1900, their homes,
hopes, loves and
business. This division is where we research American History, with
special emphasis on the colonial and Revolutionary War era in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. Bucklin family history is a part of American History.
Bucklins have had deep involvement in the development of the communities
in which they lived. Service above self is a Bucklin family
tradition. The Bucklin family members sense of honor and their commitment to
ideals burns through the records of American History.
