BUCKLIN, Osman, Damascus, Grelton p.o., one of the early residents of
Henry county; was born in Damascus in 1822, and was a son of David and
Plaina (Gunn) Bucklin, who were born in Vermont, and married in N.Y. State,
and settled in Henry county about 1814.  Plaina was a daughter of Elisha
Gunn.  They had nine children, but two of whom are now living, Osman and
Harriet.  David died in Damascus, in 1834, and his wife in 1845.  David 
was the first postmaster of Damascus, and was a carpenter by trade, but
was largely engaged in farming, served in the War of 1812, and was at the
city of Buffalo when it was burned.  Osman enlisted in Co. I, 68th Ohio, in
1861, under Colonel Steadman, and was discharged in 1864, after three years
of service.  He was married in 1848, to Nancy M. Price, of Cuyahoga
county, O., who died in 1856, leaving a family of three children: Walter,
Charles and Mary.  His second wife was Elizabeth Weaver, who was born in
Pennsylvania, and married in 1860.  They have had one son, Lincoln.
