Louisa County Genealogical Society

Joel Buffington became the wealthy Buffington, building on the Savage grant land that had been obtained by William. Joel was the purchaser (disputed) of the Island of Duvol, which was renamed Buffington Island after him. This island is in the Ohio RIver and has been under the jurisdiction of several counties in Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio. It is presently an Ohio state park.

Joel Buffington married Elizabeth Logan, who had Indian ancestry. Joel and Elizabeth had nine children.

The 1850 Federal Census of Iowa for Louisa County lists four Buffingtons as Head of Household. Abraham C., age 22, a grandson of the above Joel (his father was another Abraham); James Q, 35, also a grandson of Joel (his father was Joseph); Philip J., 47, a grandson of Joel (his father was Joseph); Nancy 27, widow of Samuel Wilson Buffington (his father was Joseph). This was the Joseph Buffington who married (1) Chloe Harvey and had Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Susannah, Margaret, Amelia, Chloe, Amanda, Magdalene, William H., Joseph F., Phillip J., James Q., Samuel Wilson and Abraham Columbus.

Members of the Buffington family first came to Louisa County in 1837. They also had land in Van Buren, Mahaska and Lucas Counties, and perhaps others as well. Several died prior to the 1850 Census already cited, and at least four had been buried in the private Buffington Cemetery in Elm Grove Township of Louisa County. Both Joseph and Chloe were there, as well as their son Daniel Wilson Buffington and his sister-in-law Mary.
