William BUFFINGTON was born 1685 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He married ? FUTHEY. She was born ABT. 1685 in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

William Buffington was born about 1687. His father conveyed to him 185 acres of land in Est Bradford, February 25th 1720/1, which he in turn conveyed to Robert Jefferis, August 4, 1721. In a legal document drawn up by the father dated 1721, the water rights on a stream separating the properties of Thomas Buffington and his brother, William, was necessary "as their families were quarreling over use of water from this stream." This was the land that Richard Buffington Senior had given them. He appears to have owned land subsequently in West Bradford. In 1734 300 acres of land was obtained by William Buffinton and was still being taxed as the land of William Buffington in 1785. William Buffington survived his father, being given a bequest of his father's wearing apparel in 1747-8. William Buffington was a tailor. It is thought that the following third generation Buffingtons were children of William and wife, possibly Alice Rupp: William II, Benjamin, James, Jonathan and John, a tailor in Washington County, PA. Of these James removed to Louisa County, Virginia, John went to Washington County, Pennsylvania in 1784 and Benjamin left for Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1771.
