Searching for any information regarding the Buckskin family...1850 on...they lived in Mineral Hill, Mineral, Palisade, and the Alpha Ranch at one time. In and around Eureka too.
My father (William Raymond (Bill) Buckskin) and his brother (Jim (James) Buckskin) were friends with the Bruffy family, and other old families in the area. Other names related to Buckskin are Cortez (Maggie (Margaret Dean Cortez Buckskin), Travelli, etc. Besides my father and his brother Jim, the other children were Hattie, (who married a Pete Carletti), Sylvia, Rose, Webb, Mary. Any help/information would be welcome...we have so little to go on.

Please email me / Linda (Travelli-Buckskin) Newbrough

Peter Carletti is buried at Palisade cemetery. The dates on his headstone read: 1856 - 1934

Thank you for that information! I drove through Eureka and Palisade a couple of years ago, and did indeed find Peter Carletti's grave in Palisade. Now if I could just find Joseph Travelli's grave in Mineral Hill! I'll keep on trying...the Buckskins were a part of that early pioneer history of the area, and my father Bill and his brother Jim used to sit in the evenings and tell great stories about their growing up...the ranchs, the families, the dances, etc. Nevada is very much a part of my family history.

The Geneaology.com message boards have information on the Buckskin family.

Dear Arline...Thank you so much for the information. I'll check it out right away.
