James,
Some sources have the Bufkin's coming from Norway. Could you share the information that you have on there stay in England.For exampe:The book, "Antioch Baptist Church, 175 Years, 1824-1999", tells the story:
"Family tradition tells that 3brothers of Norwegian descent, set out from South Carolina in the early nine-
teenthcentury to explore andfindnew country in which to claim ahomestead in the vast wilderness of
the "Great Southwest".The spelling ofthese brothers names at that time was Buffking or Buffkin.Later
we find that some letters were dropped ad is now spelled Bufkin.
Onebrother stopped in the area ofJasper Co,another wentback to West Virginia, and the third brother
settled in what is now the Antioch Community of Copiah Co Mississippi."
