Buffington Cemetery is a small cemetery with two ancestral graves: James Colby and Alex R. Ross.

This photo shows both graves, which are located next to each other.

James L. Colby

James was a U.S. Marshall in Indian Territory
Son of Matilda Ross and John Colby, Grandson of Akey Walkingstick and David Ross (Akey's first husband). Not much is known about Matilda Ross.  She was married to John Colby and then later to William Barnes with whom she had a daughter, Stella.  Most references I've seen refer to her as Matilda Barnes.
