Levi Buckingham
Levi Buckingham, a native of Delaware, emigrated to Ohio in the year I788, and took up a section of land in Symmes township. He then returned to Pennsylvania, and in 1794 returned to his land with his brother, Enoch Buckingham. The first thing they did was to build a log cabin to shelter the family. The Indians were very troublesome at that time, and a man was fined who went to church without a gun. Levi Buckingham was the father of six children - William L., Lizzie, Isaac, Jane, Maria and Lydia H. Of these but two are still living - William and Maria.
