After 50 years of research, I have not been able to make a connection to the Buccleuch line in Scotland nor the Scott line. The earliest record that I have for my Buckelew line would be 1676 when Peter Buckelew and his wife Annetje baptised their son Frederick at the DRC in 1676. Annetje Fredericx was the daughter of Frederick and Grietien Jansen. I have a transcription of his Deed in New Amsterdam in 1651 and a copy of the baptisms in Brazil in 1646 for Annetje and 1649 for her brother and sister. Frederick was with the Dutch West India Company. A number of researchers have stated that Peter Buckelew was the son of William Buckelew (born c. 1620) who was from Scotland and was with the military in the Netherlands. I wish that I had a primary source to connect William Buckelew from Scotland to the Buccleuch line, but I don't. I would be interested in your line concerning your 7th g grandfather being Walter Scott from the Buccleuch line. This could turn out to be the connection that I have been looking for all of these years. You can contact me directly at: www.bdouglas_c_@hotmail.com" target="_blank">www.bdouglas_c_@hotmail.com.
