Nebraska Buzbee

Nebraska Buzbee married Hattie Leoni Denson in Hillsborough County, Florida on 5 Aug 1916. Nebraska and Hattie had the following children: Annie Cedella Buzbee, born 1918; Loretta L Buzbee, born 1920; Edna Mertice Buzbee, born 1923; Nebraska Buzbee Jr., born 18 May 1926. Nebraska and Hattie settled and raised their family in the Gulf City area of Hillsborough County, Florida.

Nebraska Buzbee died 21 Dec 1983 in Hillsborough County, Florida and is buried in the Gulf City Cemetery in Ruskin. His wife, Hattie Leoni Denson, died 8 Jul 1965 is buried in Gulf City Cemetery next to Nebraska. There is quite a bit of contraversy regarding the birth date of Nebraska and Arkansas Buzbee. While Nebraska and Arkansas agreed that they were born 27 Oct, they did not agree on the year. Arkansas said they were born in 1889, but there is a mystery. 1900 Hillsborough County, Florida census states Feb 1888, just one month after their parents married. Nebraska Buzbee was all over the grid with his birthdate. Social Security Death Index states Feb 1888, Florida Death Index states 1884, World War I Draft Registration states 1885. Even though they were twins, Nebraska’s headstone in Gulf City Cemetery says born 1884 and Arkansas says 1889. I believe that they were born in Feb 1888, just like the 1900 census states and Social Security index states for Nebraska.
