On page 526, "Buckelew Traces," Issue 4, Gerry Green says "All deed index entries (in notes pertaining to Richard Manley Buckelew and his descendants, pp. 525 & 526--above) are from Dorothy Buckalew Tilley's 1987 visit to the courthouse. She said the deeds were for property bought and sold. Even though the book & page numbers were not included, perhaps this is enough information to enable anyone needing copies to be able to obtain them."
Dorothy Buckalew Tilley (of Williamsville, NY) has a list in her possession that Arthur Buckalew had given her (Dorothy's) parents, Charles & Ellen Buckalew. The list was marked "Out of Richard M. Buckalew's Bible, Oct. 2, 1938." Unfortunately, no additional information was given concerning the Bible, such as date of publication, if the entries appeared to have been entered at one time, or through the years.
