Edward Buckingham was born in 1814 to Gideon Buckingham and Maria Crowley. He married Emma Marlow in 1845, and their daughter Isabel (Belle) Buckingham Simpson was born in 1851. The Buckinghams had three additional daughters, Emma Buckingham Westerfield, Carrie Buckingham, and Grace Buckingham. Belle was one of two women in the history of the Tyson Valley to inherit land, likely due to a lack of sons in the family.

Edward died in 1885. Both Belle and Edward are listed on plat maps as Tyson landowners from 1862 through 1930. This makes them unique as one of the few settler families not bought out by the David Ranken estate, allowing them to continuously own property at Tyson for much longer than many other landowners.
