Buffington Island History:

It was originally called Amberson's Island before 1797. In November of 1797 the island was purchased by Joel Buffington from John Pearce Duvall of Mason County, Kentucky. By 1807 Buffington Island was becoming the predominant name for the island. Joel died in 1821 and he left his estate to all of his children including Magdalena Buffington DeWitt. Magdalena's brother Joseph, began to purchase his siblings' shares in the island and by 1835 he owned the island but then Joseph and his wife Chloe Harvey Buffington sold the island to James Williamson of Jackson County, for $2,300.

The really exciting history about the island occurred during the Civil War in 1863 when the Confederate general, John Hunt Morgan, battled with the Union forces in the area in Ohio around the island.
