My husband is also related to Homagama Buffaloe, through the Whitener line which married a Tow. I am looking for the Cherokee or Native American connections and would appreciate any additional information.

Cynthia,

I have the book and there is a Susanna Buffaloe listed. She is the daughter of William Buffaloe and Winifred Snipes. She was born in 1814 in Northampton County, North Carolina. She died 1852, unk where. She married Richard Barner on 10 Mar 1836 in Northampton County, N. C. They had 5 children, Louisa E., William, James, Rebecca, and Henry. Richard Barmer later married Martha Vaughn on 17 Nov 1852. That is all I have. Hope it does some good.

Hi,
I'm looking for information on William Dorsey Buffaloe. He is from Northampton County NC and believed to be of Native American and African American decent. He conceived a child with a Mary Clark and produced Tom Buffaloe (1840-1918), he in turn had John Harvey Buffaloe. Just curious if anyone had more information past Dorsey Buffaloe

Notes for JOSEPH VINSON GARRETT:

Both died "slow fever".

Joseph and Louisa were living in the home of Francis Cowan 1880 Tow,Llano,Co. Census (I believe this to be Francis M. Cowan, formerly Mrs. Francis M. Cox widow of James L. Cox.. (they had five children, John S. Cox, Martha Isabella Cox, James L. Cox, Charles B. Cox and William L. Cox)...she then married Rufus E. Buffaloe Nov. 23, 1853 in Madison, Al.

From Pam Sanders:

"On the 1870 Arkansas County Census, Rufus and Frances ae not shown, but James Cox is shown as head of the household, with his brother William (probably Frances and James L. Cox's/Cocke’s sons) and Jennie Buffalo, age 16 and Eliza Buffalo, age 7. It is suspected that Jennie is the girl named Homagama on the 1860 Census and Eliza is Louisa Melvina Buffalo, her sister."[Frances Cox,Buffaloe.FTW]

Annie May Cowan believes David Cowan remarried, to Frances Nobles Cox, following the death of Elizaeth in 1875. The document that suggests this is hard to read, and she is unable to tell if the date is 1875 or 1878, which is the year David died. I have yet to confirm this marriage thru Llano County court records.

Notes for FRANCES WILLERSON NOBLES:

Mary Anne Rick via Pam Sanders:

Rufus E. Buffaloe married the widow of James L. Cox. A gurardian was appointed in December 1853 for Francies Cox Buffaloe's children, John S. Cox, Martha Isabella Cox, James L. Cox, Charles B. Cox and William L. Cox all under 21 years of age. (their son Milton has died by now)

On January 09, 1860 in Arkansas County, AR, Frances M. Buffaloe, now the wife of Rufus E. Buffaloe, put in an application with the Probate Court for appointment of William R. Wofford of Arkansas County as guardian of Martha Isabella Cox. A petition was filed on June 29, 1860 in Arkansas County asking to remove guardian ship of Frances' children by a former marriage from Alabama to Arkansas.

Also, Marriage Records Madison County , Al Book 4-B pg. 16 Compiled and typed by Mrs. E.C. Wooten for the Genealogical Society

Records Committee for The Daughter's of the American Revolution.-Huntsville Public Library, Huntsville Al.

Rufus and Francis were shown on the 1860 Arkansas County census with a daugher named Homagama, age 3 and Martha's children by her marriage to James L. Cox. Homagama on this census is presumed to be Homa Jean Buffalo. (Excerpts from Book Titled: Trail of the Buffaloe/Buffalow by Robert Buffaloe)

Rufus was the runt of the family, quite a short man but he loved to play the fiddle and fight. As a fighter, he was considered dangerous and after having seriously wounding a man, Rufus fled and his family never heard from him again (he left circa 1863)

On the 1870 Arkansas County Census, Rufus and Frances ae not shown, but James Cox is shown as head of the household, with his brother William (probably Frances and James L. Cox's/Cocke’s sons) and Jennie Buffalo, age 16 and Eliza Buffalo, age 7. It is suspected that Jennie is the girl named Homagama on the 1860 Census and Eliza is Louisa Melvina Buffalo, her sister.

Rufus served in the Company K, 1st Colquitts Arkansas Infantry as a Private, during the Civil War. It is believed Rufus may have died in the war. Frances remarried a Francis Ashley on Sept. 28, 1864 in Arkansas County AR. Then married Unknown Cowan by 1886.

The name Cocke/Cox was seen spelled both ways throughout various documents.

In Alabama Records, Vol. 141, p. 48, is the documentation of James and Frances' marriage in February 1844 in which their ages and places of birth are given - he is shown as 40, born in Virginia, she 26, born in Alabama. (Mary Ann Rick told me that she would have to look this up for me, because she remembers taking their ages from 1850 Census, which shows their ages as 40 and 26 also, as below) an aterisk is denoted on the record, which I believe someone added the information...

Note: James may have been born after Ellender/Eleanor. Court records show his name following hers and he was also listed as a minor in the settlement of his brother Charles' estate while Eleanor was shown as of age. [MAR]

Kenny Buffaloe is indeed well known in this area and other parts of the country and world as a martial arts expert. His son is now following in his footsteps.

Nancy A. Buffalo(e) m. John A. Davis

bcmathews — 2008-01-18 17:53:38Z

This is a brickwall for me. Nancy (nee Buffalo) Davis b. June 6 1813, d. Jan 27 1872 and buried at MT GILEAD Cemetery in Union Co., MS, just SE of the town of New Albany. Her husband was John Davis b. Oct 22 1814 d. Aug 20 1900 and is buried at MT GILEAD Cemetery also. Next to them is a gravestone that reads "Vandellor Elizabeth Daughter Of J A & N A Davis, Born Apr 6 1867, Died Oct 23 1868". Which gives the inital 'A' as the middle inital for both John and Nancy. Known children were Thomas, Rufus, William, James and Julia. Both William and Julia married into the Reid family. Thomas Calhoun Davis married Matilda Eliphalet Bridges. I have been unable to trace this line past John and Nancy, my gg-grandparents. All I have to go on is that they MAY have been from SC and that Nancy was of the Cherokee Nation.

great-great grandson of Joseph Henry and Alice Walden Buffaloe. Their daughter Lillie Buffaloe married Chepas Cheatham. Their son's name, my grandfather, was Moses Nezar Cheatham. His son, my father, was Arthur Mack Cheatham. I have a copy of Uncle Alexander's and Aunt Bettie's original marriage license. Ican send you a copy if you like.

Hi, Noticed you have a Buffaloe Book. I am related to a Buffaloe family through my dad Pete L. Hebel. I think there was a John and James Hebel who lived down around Palacious. They were 1/2 brothers to my grandfather Frank Kee Hebel. Can you tell me more about your book?
Thanks, Alice K.

Re: buffaloe book

alicefrombigd — 2006-10-24 01:55:54Z

Hi Genie, Here's some info you may or may not have. It comes from a letter written on 30 Jan., 1963 from Mary Hebel Buffaloe to her neice, Flora Bell Minor. ( Mary was the sister of Frank Kee Hebel. Flora Bell is still alive and the youngest and maybe only surviving child of Frank Kee Hebel. Frank Kee was also my father's father by his first wife, Laura Lee Whittenberg.) Anyway, Mary explains to FB that her parents (Gothard and Barbara) first lived in Galveston, near Flatonia when they arrived in the USA. She noted that her mother was a real good doctor. While they lived there, two boys and a girl were born. The girl was named Mary. Then they moved to Wisconsin. Mary died, so when the next girl was born, they named her Mary, too. They lived in Wisc. until Mary was six at which time they returned to TX. They settled in Kaufman Co. and some of them are buried in the Kemp Cemetery.
My sister, our first cousin, and I are planning to go visit Aunt Flora Bell at the end of July. She is 91 yrs old and lives in a nursing home in Solvang, CA. We hope to get more history from her.
Frank Kee Hebel and Mary Buffaloe had two half-brothers named James and Joe. For some reason, I think they may have lived in the Palacious area. I have tons of relatives in TX.

more on Mary Ann Buffaloe

alicefrombigd — 2006-10-24 01:55:54Z

Genie, I have another copy of a letter from Mary Ann B. dated Palacious 15 Sept. 1966. It is addressed to dear neice (probably Flora Bell) telling her that her husband has been dead about 10 years. She says that she hasd 15 acres Royalty in a gas well. She said it pays good in winter, but not in the summer She goes on to talk about various sources of small income she has and also expenses. She says all her girls are working, but in other towns. Three are widows and one has a husband. She says she has 4 girls and one boy and one step-son living and two dead, 10 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. She says she lives on Palacious Bay and it joins the Gulf.
Back in the 70's one of my dad's sisters-in-law did family tree on the Hebel side of the family. Flora Bell provided a lot of info to her and she passed it on through a little newsletter she put out called "Our Hebel Heritage." (keep reading)There's a page that doesn't seem to have a beginning that tells more.
Mary says she belongs to the Church of God of Prophesey. She encourages Flora Bell to go to one of the churches in CA and heed the message of God, to read her Bible and find herself and help. (Mary's brother, Frank Kee Hebel, was also very relilgious and knew the Bible by heart so I've heard.) She says that her children are lliving all over TX -- Freeport, Angleton, Houston, San Antonio, Corpus.

Mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) genetic testing

alicefrombigd — 2006-10-24 01:55:54Z

I am hoping that a direct female descendant of Mary Ann Hebel Buffaloe might be interested in having her mtDNA tested. This person would be a granddaughter, great-granddaughter, or great-great-granddughter of Mary Barbara Apel Hebel. I know that Mary Barbarba Apel/Hebel was born in Bohemia (Prague) . She had two daughters who lived to have children. Female descendants of her daughters are needed to find out where Mary Barbara Hebel's ancestry originated.

Explanation: If you have ever heard of the best selling book "The Seven Daughters of Eve" you will know what I am talking about. There are structures within each person's cells called mitochondria DNA (mtDNA). Mitochondria are passed down to children by the female parent. Only females can pass mitochondria on, which does not change from mothers back for generations. This makes it possible to trace back thousands of years to find out where a particular female line first occured. Here is a website where you can learn more.

http://www.familytreedna.com/trs_explain.html

I am a descendant (great granddaughter) of Mary Barbara Hebel through her son Frank Kee Hebel, so I do not carrry her mtDNA. Another of Frank Kee's grandsons is willing to pay for the testing if the right person is found. This person can even be a male provided his mother and grandmother were direct descendants of Mary Barbara Apel Hebel.

Explanation: If you have ever heard of the best selling book "The Seven Daughters of Eve" you will know what I am talking about. There are structures within each person's cells called mitochondria DNA (mtDNA). Mitochondria are passed down to children by the female parent. Only females can pass mitochondria on, which does not change from mothers back for generations. This makes it possible to trace back thousands of years to find out where a particular female line first occured. Here is a website where you can learn more.

I am a descendant great granddaughter) of Mary Barbara Hebel through her son Frank Kee Hebel, so I do not carrry her mtDNA. Another of Frank Kee's grandsons is willing to pay for the testing if the right person is found. This person can even be a male provided his mother and grandmother were direct descendants of Mary Barbara Apel Hebel.

Okay, I know it's been several years since you posted and I'm just getting into this genealogy thing. I am married to 'Mike' Buffaloe and we live in Needville, Tx. Mike is the son of Ed and Lillie Buffaloe from Bay City, Tx. Ed and Lillie Buffaloe had the following children:
Sue Buffaloe Brannon - living in BayCity, Tx (2 children)
William Mike Buffaloe - my husband, living (2 children)
Patt Buffaloe Chandler - living in Wheelersburg, Ohio
TJ Buffaloe - living in Friendswood, Tx (2 children)
Don Buffaloe - living in Anuhac, Tx
Todd Buffaloe - living in Bay City, Tx (1 child)

I too would love to find out as much information as possible in regards to the Buffaloe family. I've been asked several times if we are Indian (if so, what tribe and how do I go about finding that out). Also heard that Buffaloe's were French and now I hear Italian. Would love to be able to share this information with my 2 girls before it's lost! My husband and his family are not much help. Hoping I can get some help here!
Thanks!
Lisa

I have a copy of a letter written by Bob Buffalow dated Feb 18, 1989. It is written to a cousin in the Davis family line.

It reads in part, "... a petition by a Sarah Brown and James Buffalo against a Sion Rogers, administrator of the estate of their father, James Buffalow, and Marina, wife of Jeremiah Lassiter, John Davis and wife Mary, and Monroe Buffalow. Later on it states that the petitioners, and his widow, Becky Brown (should be Buffalow) together with defendents Marina, Mary Davis & Monroe are his only distributees.

That is proof that Mary Sally Buffaloe(w), who married John Davis, is the daughter of James Buffaloe(w) and his first wife, Mary (Polly) Jenks. You can now fill in the data on page 56 of the book as it relates to Mary Buffaloe. Now you know your great great great Grandmother's line back to Arthur Buffelow."

The letter writer must be referring to the book "The Trail of the Buffelows"
