Gerry, Chautauqua Co., NY was once (early 1800's) known as Bucklin's Corners, and was populated by Bucklins (James and son Willard, among
others) that moved from Windham Co., VT. See following source:
history.rays-place.com/ny/chau-gerry.htm Until 1815 the area was an unbroken wilderness up to1815, when several families, all from Vermont, came to start new lives. "Vermont" and "Bucklin's Corners" were the first names attached to the area. The first recognition of the name Vermont to this locality we find in the town records of 1818: "A survey of a road beginning at a pine stump near James Bucklin's house, said stump standing in the highway now designated by the name of Vermont."
However, 1820 James Bucklin opened a hotel which caused the place to be known as "Bucklin's Corners." Bucklin's were early prominent in the Bucklin's Corners area. The first town meeting, in 1830, included the election of Willard Bucklin as one of the two commissioners of highways, and James Bucklin, Jr., as one of the three overseers of poor. (For a period of six years beginning 1856, James Bucklin, Jr., was the supervisor of the substantial Gerry Orphanage, which cared for both children and also aged persons without means for their own support.) However, the postoffice was named "Vermont" until 1876, when Gerry became the name of the postoffice and the village area.

James Bucklin's middle initial is known with a high degree of certainty to be A. His middle name probably was Austin. His grave marker only has "James Bucklin". His marriage certificate has only "James Bucklin". A document dated 1946 and signed by his daughter-in-law Addie Hine Bucklin lists his name as James A. Bucklin. According to Ruth Bucklin Bruchhaus and Edna Bucklin Keys, his granddaughters, they believe his middle name to be Austin.

The original marriage certificate of James and Mary is in the possession of Mary Louise Bucklin Connors.[Brøderbund Family Archive #255, Ed. 1, Land Records AL, AR, FL, LA, MI, MN, OH, WI 1790-1907, Date of Import: Apr 18, 2000, Internal Ref. #1.255.1.8390.13]

Referred to by my dad (Herbert G. Bucklin) as Uncle Austin. The following is a quote from Dad's 11-11-54 letter to Clyde Bucklin:

Uncle Austin was a half brother to the rest of the brothers and sister. The name of his mother is not known. Uncle Austin was bothered with asthma and lived most of his life out in the west. He died in San Bernadino, California in 1924. He never married. Age 77. Parents: James A. Bucklin-Buck438.

His partner, William Tallman, must have considered James a good partner, for Tallman named his son born 05 Apr 1825-- James Bucklin TALLMAN (1825-1894).

In his early life James C. Bucklin took considerable interest and was very active in military affairs: and served a period as first lieutenant in the First Light Infantry of Rhode Island.

For perhaps the last twenty-five years of his active business life, Mr. Bucklin gave his attention to architecture, and designed many of the finest buildings of his day in Providence, among them the Arcade, the Westminster Congregational Church edifice, the Butler Hospital for the Insane, the Hoppin homestead, Music Hall, Howard Block and the Reynolds Building.

The Arcade was built for Cyrus Butler by the contracting firm of Tallman and Bucklin. Co-designers James C. Bucklin and Russell Warren modeled their creation in the Greek Revival style. Bucklin designed the facade on Westminster Street and Warren the Weybosset Street facade. See the splendid photos and write ups in the May, 1981 issues of the Architectural Record the article by Robert Alexander, The Arcade in Providence, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Oct, 1953. In the year 2000, the Arcade still stands, and is pointed out as the first indoor shopping mall in America. When the Arcade was built in 1828, its 22 foot granite columns that support its entrances were the largest in the country. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has called it one of the finest examples of 19th century commercial architecture in the nation. Both as a building project and an architectural project of James Bucklin, it is impressive.

Another of his buildings, at 68 Waterman Street, is now known (2000 AD) as the Cabinet Building of Brown University. When it was first erected it was designed for, and used by, the Rhode Island Historical Society as its first headquarters building designed specially for it.

He was the architect of some 300 mill structures and many fine residences as well as business buildings in various other parts of the country.

James was one of the original members of the Squantum Club of Providence, a prominent social club of the day.

A bas-relief sculpture of James C. Bucklin by artist J. Birchenough 43.5 cm x 32 cm x 9.5 cm was given by James's daughter Lorraine in 1878 to the Rhode Island historical Society. Parents: James Bucklin-Buck586 and Lorania Pearce-Buck597.

Spouse: Lucy Dailey-Buck599. Lucy Dailey and James C. Bucklin were married on 16 March 1829.⁸³⁷ Children were: Helen Dailey Bucklin-Buck600, Loraine Pearce Bucklin-Buck601.
