  • Notes 


    • John Nerincx Buckman (1796-1845) first married Susanna Pierceall (1796-1833). They had five children, among them Clement Evermon Buckman (1821-1879)

      Caroline Shanks' father, Thomas Shanks and Sarah Woodward had two daughters. Caroline Ann Shanks (1812-1870) and Servilla Ann Shanks (1826-1901).

      Servilla Ann married Clement Evermon Buckman (1821-1879).

      On Susanna's death in 1796, John N. married secondly Caroline A Shanks. (1812-1870). Caroline was 16 years younger than John N. Buckman. (yes, sister to Clement Buckman's wife). They also had five children.

      On John N. Buckman's death in 1845, Caroline Shanks secondly married Ira Snow. They had one son.

      On Ira Snow's death, she thirdly married Clement Ignatius Buckman (1797-1871), son of Charles Buckman (1752-1827) and Jane Dunbar (1760-1837). They had two children themselves but Charles I. Buckman had eight children from a previous marriage with Harriet Fenwick (1809-1850).
      John N. Buckman and Clement I. Buckman were first cousins, both grandchildren of John Baptist Buckman (1730-1793) and Julia Ann Drinker (1732-1793).

      While appearing somewhat convoluted, it seems to be an efficient way of families taking care of families and that household sure ended up with a multigenerational group of children. (some 20 kids with birthdates from ranging some 40 years)
