Samuel's brother, John, survived the defense of a British magazine in Delhi, India during the Indian Mutiny while serving in the British Army. Samuel Buckley's son, William, settled in Cleveland, Ohio, and in the 1870s-1880s worked at the Brush Electric Company. He later worked at the Cowles Electric Smelting Company. The collection consists of a certificate of citizenship, correspondence, and newspaper clippings.
