I am seeking ancestors on my ggf Valentine B "Tine" Buxton (aka Buckston) 1847-1907 (gravestone reads 1849-1907)...to date Tine's parents are unknown, none proved but more than one disproved. My gf Mitchell B Buxton's (aka Buckston) family tradition says that Tine & Dew are 1/2 brothers, altho some have said cousins. My mother always called him Uncle Dew. Have you discovered anything proving either way?
I have copy of affidavit #492 Bk 135 Nov 15, 1912... "Dew Buxton, a resident of Allen Parish, Louisiana, who being duly sworn deposed and said, that he was well acquainted with Valentine B Buxton"....
I'm curious as to why no mention of kinship on the aff?
