Excerpt from Sketch of William Alfred Buckingham But the pattern of organization at New Haven was copied for the church in Milford in that same year. Indeed, the cer emony of organization took place in New Haven. Mr. Peter Prudden, the pastor, with William Fowler, Edmund Tapp, Zechariah Whitman, Thomas Buckingham, Thomas Welch, and John Astwood, were the seven pillars which wisdom had hewn out for the construction of this church in the wilderness. Dr. Sprague makes a mistake in a note in his Annals, where he confuses this Thomas Buckingham with his son, afterwards minister at Saybrook. The first Thomas Buckingham was only a prominent layman, like his distinguished descendant two hundred years later.

He was born in East (later South) Windsor, Connecticut, in1815. He was the son of Thomas and Lucy (Porter) Tarbox, and a descendant of John Tarbox who was in Lynn, Massachussets, in 1639. Orphaned at nine, he lived with an uncle from 1825 to 1829, worked on a farm in East Windsor.
He attended the academy at East Hartford for a time in order to prepare for college and in 1839 received the degree of A. B. from Yale.
He then studied in the Divinity School. He was graduated in 1844 and ordained in November of the same year at the Hollis Evangelical (later the Plymouth Congregational) Church in Framingham, Massachussets, where he served until 1851.
At eighteen he began teaching in a district school. After teaching for two years in the East Hartford academy, he served at Yale as tutor in Latin (1842 - 44).
He was a founder and one of the original editors (1849 - 51) of the Congregationalist. In 1851 he gave up his church in Framingham to become secretary of the American Education Society (reorganized in 1874 as the American College and Education Society), and from that time until 1884, when he retired, he devoted himself to the work of providing help to students preparing for the ministry.
Possessed of a balanced judgment, and being by nature sympathetic and kindly, he was markedly successful in the work. His literary interests, which were strong, manifested themselves in various ways. He wrote juveniles for Sunday schools, poems--sometimes devotional, sometimes mildly satirical--and numerous articles on historical, religious, and literary subjects, which appeared in the Congregational Quarterly, the New Englander, and other magazines.
Among his books are Missionary Patriots: Memoirs of James H. Schneider and Edward M. Schneider (1867), Life of Israel Putnam . Major-General in the Continental Army (1876), and Songs and Hymns for Common Life (1885). He edited Sir Walter Ralegh and His Colony in America (1884), with a memoir, for the Prince Society, and the Diary of Thomas Robbins, D. D. , 1796-1854. From 1881 to 1888, as historiographer of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, he wrote numerous brief, careful memoirs of members of the society, as well as seven more extensive biographies, which appeared in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register. It is for such articles as these that he is best remembered. Without great importance individually, these notes and memoirs form when taken together an interesting and valuable record.
What Tarbox said of another writer on genealogical subjects might be said with equal truth of him: "It is a most fortunate thing for the world at large, that a few men have such natural or acquired tastes for certain kinds of literary work, that they will do it, regardless of trouble or expense . ". He himself may be credited with the "large share of 'love to being in general' " which he attributes to such writers.
He died in West Newton, Massachussets, where he had lived since 1860, survived by two of his daughters. He was buried in Framingham.

The benignity of his appearance was, it is said, "the true index of a real benignity of character". He was gentle and sensitive, perhaps even over-sensitive, yet in matters of conviction firm and independent.
On June 4, 1845, he was married to Delia (or Adelia) Augusta Waters of Millbury, Massachussets, by whom he had a son and three daughters.
