It is stated in Holmes County, Ohio to 1985 by Patsy Mullet and Barbara McIntyre that the Buckmasters along with the Haleys, Merrills, Newells, Casters and Wolgamots, built log cabins on Martins Creek, a mile and a half southeast of Holmesville, in Holmes County (then Wayne County) Ohio in 1810. These Buckmasters may have been one of Wilson's siblings who moved into Ohio at the same time, or it may have been Sophia and Wilson, for their move was confirmed in the obituary of Mary Neville, Sophia and Wilson's daughter, in 1877.

The writer of the obituary stated that the family had moved in 1810 from Mercer County, Pennsylvania to Salt Creek Township, Wayne County, Ohio two and a half miles south of Fredericksburg. During the War of 1812, the Indians were incited to go on the warpath in Ohio, and Hugh McCulloch of Martins Creek wrote the governor of Ohio for assistance. Soldiers were stationed in the area, a blockhouse was built on the John Dawson farm in 1812 and another built north of Holmesville on the Tom Wilson farm. The Buckmasters of Martins Creek left the area during the war years of 1812-3, but they were in Salt Creek Township again in 1813 living with other pioneers from adjoining states. Ben Douglas wrote in the History or Wayne County, Ohio that "The Buckmasters, Joseph, Wilson, Joshua, Richard and John, came to Salt Creek Township in the fall of 1813. Died intestate before 22 Mar 1851; there was a certain amount of disagreement over the property among relatives explained in the Barnes book.
