Notes -
1. Ref. birth date and given name of Magdalena Buffington.
Limited sources have been used here to determine the birth date for Magda lena Buffington. Mary L. Ayers notes 1797 or 1798. Don Bowman lists 14 Nov 1789 or 1797. Don Bowman also notes that she was listed in 1880 as Mary M.
2. Hampshire County, Virginia at one time comprised all of today's Hamps hire, Hardy and Mineral Counties in West Virginia; as well as part of today's Morgan County, West Virginia. Hardy County was formed in 1786. Morgan County was formed in 1820. West Virginia was formed in 1863. Mineral County was formed in 1866.
3. From Buffington Island History, as cited by Jim Hier:
Joel died in 1821 and he left his estate to all of his children includin g Magdalena Buffington DeWitt.
Magdalena's brother Joseph, began to purchase his siblings shares in th e island and by 1835 he owned the island but then Joseph and his wife Chloe Harvey Buffington sold the island to James Williamson of Jackson Co., for $2,300.
4. Ref. to the children of Thomas and Magdalena Buffington DeWitt's as c ited by Dr. Don DeWitt, Ph.D.
Mrs. DeWitt was the mother of ten (10) children. Dr. DeWitt also cites a nd questions an eleventh child by the name of Jadock Hannibow. Given the unusual nature of the name in light of Buffington descendant naming conventions I have not included this individual here.
5. Ref. to Thomas and Magdalene Buffington Dewitts' whereabouts and sal e of her share in Buffington Island as cited by Don Bowman.
1834-1835 – Jackson Co., VA deed records -- Joseph bought the claims of h is siblings in the 150-acre Buffington Island, 8 shares at $300 each. (It is curious that his older brother, William, apparently had no interest in the island when it was sold.)
1.(18 Feb 1834) – Jacob Buffington of Meigs Co., OH to Joseph of Jackso n VA.
2.(2 April 1834) – Asa & Elizabeth Buffington of Pike Co., IL for $300 t o Joseph of Jackson VA.
3.(2 April 1834) – Richard & Polly Brown [Buffington] of Pike Co., IL fo r $300 to Joseph of Jackson VA.
4.(2 April 1834) – Reason & Susannah Nightswanger of Pike Co., IL for $3 00 to Joseph of Jackson VA.
5.(2 June 1835) – Abraham & Margaret Buffington of Jefferson Co., IL t o Joseph of Meigs OH.
6.(4 June 1835) – Philip C. & Elizabeth Buffington of Gallatin Co., IL t o Joseph of Meigs OH.
7.(8 Aug 1835) – Jacob & Amelia Buffington of Meigs Co., OH to Joseph o f Meigs OH.
8.(8 Aug 1835) – Thomas & Magdalena Dewitt of Jackson Co., VA to Josep h of Meigs OH.
6. Ref. to the burial place of Magdalena Buffington DeWill as cited by D on Bowman.
Magdalena died around 1886 and apparently is not buried in DeWitt Cemeter y beside her husband. Her burial site is unknown.
