    Notes 
    • Excerpt from a Hufcut family History (1910)

      Jacob Buxton was born at Deerfield, Oneida County, N.Y., April 10,
      1820, son of James and Mary Buxton, who came from Holland and settled in
      Oneida County, New York, when it was little more than a wilderness. Jac
      Buxton was educated in the public schools, and learned the trade of carpenter
      and joiner, following it all his active life. He was a man of strict
      integrity, and by his honesty, uprightness and industry, won the confidence
      and respect of the community in which most of his life was spent. He was a
      skilled craftsman and excelled by none of his competitors as a builder. He
      erected some of the principal buildings of Denmark and vicinity, and ma
      dwelling houses and other structures. In politics Mr. Buxton was an earnest
      Republican, and he took a keen interest in public affairs. He died at
      Castorland, May 12, 1890. Mr. Buxton married, in Denmark, 1863, Caroline
      Barrett, who was born at Evans Mills, Jefferson County, N.Y., June 21, 1836,
      daughter of James and Eddice (Bassett) Barrett. The Barrett and Bassett
      families came to northern New York from Vermont, whither they came a
      generation or two earlier from Massachusetts, of old colonial stock. Caroline
      (Barrett) Buxton died at Castorland, April 15, 1910. Jacob and Caroline Buxton
      had children: Eugene S., Dora B., Carrie E., Charles G., Ardell M., James H.,
      Ernest B., Herbert G., John M., and Edith Buxton.
