    "25. Isaac (Buckingham), born [baptized] September 29, 1700. He graduated at Yale College in the Class of 1718. He is said to have been the child of high hopes, but he sickened and died soon after taking his Master's degree. He was never married, and no record has been found of the precise time of his death."

    Isaac Buckingham was born [baptized] in Hartford, Connecticut, September 29, 1700. He was the eldest son of the Rev. Thomas Buckingham (Harv. 1690), minister of the Second (or South) Church in Hartford. His mother was Ann, the only child of the Rev. Isaac Foster (Harv. 1671), colleague-pastor of the First Church, and his younger brother graduated in 1723.

    His father early became a member of the board of Trustees of the Collegiate School (probably in 1715), and in the divisions which soon arose on the question of location, acted with his fellow-townsman and fellow-trustee (who was also his wife's step-father), the Rev. Timothy Woodbridge, and consequently removed his son to Wethersfield, where he graduated in course.

    Of the son's professional studies we know nothing. He took the Master's degree in 1721, by which time his father had become reconciled to the new order of things at Yale.

    Further we know only that he is marked as dead in the Triennial Catalogue of 1724. He is thus the earliest graduate, whose date of death is not discovered.
