Hi Denise..I just discovered your blog. My children's great-grandmother (on their father's side) was born in Buxton IA. I've been researching their genealogy for 4 years. I love the history of Buxton...sounds like you do too. Our surnames are Wilson, Smith, Southall, Selbicky. The Wilson's also came from Virginia, Fredericksville Parish, Albemarle, area. I live in Mpls, too. thank you for sharing your stories.
