John Bybee, Jr., did not have the middle name Buford. His commanding officer during the
American Revolutionary War was Colonel Abraham Buford. This officer was so highly
respected by the Bybee family that John Bybee III (and Elizabeth Kelly), son of John
Bybee,Jr.,and Elizabeth McCann named their first son Buford. From this point on, many
members of the Bybee family have named their male children Buford. There is much on the
website about Abraham Buford, commander of the Virginia theater during the Revoluntionary
War.
I note that someone has also indicated that my great-grandfather Lee Allen Bybee's
middle name was Buford. This was not part of his name.
Good hunting!
