Buford-441 and Buford-69 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth dates, places. Both Captains. Same name. (Maybe Buford-69 shouldn’t have the Daniel in there.) Both died in same place.
Buford-69 and Buford-233 appear to represent the same person because: Represents the same people. Also, there is no source for him ever being called James Daniel Buford that I am aware. Just James Buford.
