First wife: Sophia Adams. To this union three children were born, William, Mary and Edward.

Henry Bucksath came to the Unitd States with his parents in 1835 when he was 14 years old and settled in Indianapolis, Indiana. Leaving his parents there for the remainder of their lives, Henry came to Chariton County in 1844. At that time Bowling Green township was a wilderness, and Bucksath worked on a farm near Brunswick for eight dollars a month. He bought his own place in 1850, eventually owning more than 500 acres, where he was a stockman and tobacco grower. He served as a Captain in the Civil War, heading a company which he organized himself. He was a Republican and a member of the Methodist Church, donating the land for the pastor's residence in the Bowling Green township, adjacent to the Immanuel Church. During his entire life he was an ardent church worker. Bucksath Cemetery, across the road from the church, is named after him.
