Thomas Buckingham was one of the original planters who settled Milford in 1639. The Buckingham House, on North Street in Milford, is said to have been built around 1640. The house, however, does not have the appearance of a First-Period seventeenth century house because it was remodeled after Jehiel Bryan, who married Esther Buckingham, acquired it in 1753. Capt. Jehiel Bryan, who served in the Revolutionary War, later built the Bryan-Downs House in Milford.
