{Darlene K. Buell, March 1998}

Researching my family has certainly been a learning process for me.  My research 
started with "Chronology of the Buell Family," and has grown from there.  
As many people have told me, family histories are wonderful for learning 
about your relatives personal lives and as good starting places for facts.  
However, they are not always true.  Following are some 'truths' that have been found, 
which contradict my Great-Great Uncle's version of my family:

-	Horace Buell was actually a member of the 23rd Michigan Infantry, not the 
25th Michigan Infantry.  Damon Stewart was captain of the 23rd Infantry.

-	Horace's wife, Rose, married Slocum Bean, not Bran.  This could have been 
simply mis-typed, since the original "Chronology" is typed on a typewriter, with
many mis-spelled words and corrections. Slocum Bean's name can be seen on maps
of Genesee County from the late 1800's, near Buell Lake.  Horace is also buried
in Glaskow, not Glasgow, KY.

-	Bonaparte Buell may not have married Emeline North.  Census records show him
married to Louiza ?, and he mentions her in his will.  He also mentions the children's names,
which are correct.  A woman named Emeline is listed as living with the family, but her
last name is not North.

-	Richard Edgerton did not marry and have a family until after the Revolutionary War.
For more on Richard, see "Who is Richard Edgerton Buell?"

-	More of a clarification: Theodore Buell's family tells me that John Buell was
first married to Mary Webster, who was Theodore's mother.  John and Mary also had a 
baby girl, Eleanor, who only lived to be 10 months.  Mary died soon after, and John 
remarried Clarissa Day.  Clarissa already had been married previously (her maiden name 
is unknown), that is why she is said to be "Homer Day's mother."  Theodore was 14 by the
time his father went to war.
