Church members and farmers from Orleans County, New York. According to his obituary, “about the year 1853 [C. P. Buckland] received the S. D. Adventist doctrines through reading.” In the early years the Bucklands hosted monthly district meetings and tent meetings on their farm. “Many a time they entertained and provided for as many as fifty under his roof.” Ellen White's only mention of the Bucklands was in connection with a tent meeting held by the Whites on the Bucklands’ farm in 1859.1EGWLM 799.3
