It looks like Forest Buford's wife was Effie McAuley (McAnley)
1900 Lowdnes Cty Ga
90 90 McA?ley, Anguus, Sept 1858 41 married 9 yrs; Fla/Ga/GA

J?nn?e, dau July 1893 6 Ga/Fla/Fla
Effie, dau, Mar 1895 5 Ga/Fla/Fla
Mason, son, Oct 1897 2 Ga/Fla/Fla
looks like the 3 oldest children may be stepchildren as their father is listed as being born Ga while the younger children born in the 9 years of marriage have the father's bith place has as Fla.
