  • William Alfred Buckingham Governor of Connecticut, 1858-1866 Born
    William Alfred Buckingham Governor of Connecticut, 1858-1866 Born: May 28, 1804, Lebanon, Connecticut College: None Political Party: Whig; Republican Offices: Mayor, Norwich, Connecticut, 1849, 1850, 1856, 1857 Governor of Connecticut, 1858-1866 U.S. Senate, 1869-1875 Died: February 5, 1875, Norwich, Connecticut The Buckingham family had been in Connecticut several generations by the time William A. Buckingham was born on May 28, 1804 in Lebanon, Connecticut. Thomas Buckingham, the first of the family in America, helped to settle the New Haven Colony in 1638. One of his sons, also named Thomas, was ordained pastor at the Congregational Church in Saybrook. It was here that Samuel Buckingham, William’s father, was baptized in September of 1770. He married Joanna Maston of Lyme on March 8, 1798. In 1803, the family moved to Lebanon, where William, the second of six children, was born the next year. Lebanon was well known as the home town of the three Trumbulls who had earlier become governors of Connecticut. The Buckingham house was described as being “among the best in the town, standing under lofty shade trees, with a plenty of fruit trees about it, and a good farm attached.” 1 Here William grew up and attended the local village school as a child. He went on to attend the Bacon Academy in Colchester, where he studied land surveying. As a young man, Buckingham moved to Norwich to work in a dry goods store which was owned by his uncle, Giles Buckingham. He spent a short time working in a wholesale store in New York City, but by 1826 he was back in Norwich where he established his own dry goods business.
