[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #0812, Date of Import: Nov 25, 1997] !The notes of Michael Kennedy of Provo, Utah say:" William came to New England, with Mary, his wife, and the family of Edward Bosworth, her father. It was the spring of 1634, when the ship in which they sailed, the Elizabeth and Dorcas, Capt. Watts, Commander, set out from Gravesend, England. They seem to have settled early in Hingham, where William had land granted to him the next year, on the north side of Wearyall (Otis) Hill & in 1636, a home-lot of 5 acres near the present railroad station of West Hingham. The only family record there, however, is that of the baptism of son, Benjamin, in 1640. It is probable there were at least two small children in the family when they came to America. Holmes, in his directory of Ancestral Heads of New England Families says that William Buckland came from Weymouth, England. Pope says the Bosworth family, into which he had married, was probably from Coventry. Much of the early history of many of these first trail-blazers seems veiled in impenetrable obscurity, and we are only left to conjecture what it may have been. On 7 July 1635 the court ordered William Buckland should, together with the three sons of Edward Bosworth, pay to Henry Sewall the sum of twenty pounds advanced by the latter to pay the expenses of the Bosworth family on the voyage to America. In 1650 and afterwards, he owned land at Broad Cove, near Hingham. In 1652, William Buckland's name is recorded in connection with the inventory of an estate in Hingham, but it is likely that he removed within a few years thereafter to Rehoboth, where on 19 May 1656 he was chosen grandjuryman. It is recorded there, that on 17 March 1657 he was engaged to "enlarge the meeting house the bredth of 3 seats throughout & to find boards," etc. From this entry we gather he was a carpenter, though the contract seems to have been cancelled, indicated by lines drawn through the record. There are various records showing his hand in transactions not only in Rehoboth, but in Attleboro and in New Bristol, at which latter place he witnessed a deed May 1, 1862. William's name is on a list of those who gave money for the Colonists in King Philip's War. This war, called so after the Indian who headed the savages, began in June 1675 & lasted a year. It is estimated 13 towns were destroyed, 600 buildings burned, & 600 Colonists lost their lives in this cruel warfare. The money cost was estimated at 1 million dollars, & most of the settlements contributed portions to that expense." The Vital Records of Rehoboth 1:56,57 indicate William's death there. He was buried 1 Sept 1683, his wife dying on 29 July 1687."
