Don Carlos Buckland was the son of Asher Buckland and Rhoda Mack. He was also the grandson of Col. Stephen Mack, the founder of Pontiac, and Temperance Bond.

Don Carlos Buckland was the husband of Amanda F. Evans, with whom he had two children:

* Blanche M. Buckland (b. 1847)
* May Evelyn Buckland (b. 1855)

His second wife was Sarah Ann Gregory, whom he married on 6 May 1858 in Wayne County, Michigan.

"The Buckland Memorial Chapel was completed Nov. 4, 1898, and is a tasteful structure of the Old English style built of Berea sandstone, with roof of German mottled tiling. It's windows are of opalescent glass, and set in the rear walls are three memorial tablets of solid bronze..."

In 2000, a thief targeted the 101-year-old Buckland Memorial Chapel in Pontiac, Michigan, stealing seven cathedral-style windows valued at $4,000 each. The windows were recovered.

In December of 1838, Temperance (Bond) Mack, was in Far West, Missouri, with the Mormons. She writes to her daughter, Harriet Whittemore:

"There has been many slain of our friends and some whipped..."

Among the Missouri militia was a colonel named Don Carlos Buckland, Temperance Mack's grandson.

Temperance Mack wrote to Harriet back in Pontiac:

"Carlos Buckland was sent here with a company of troops against the Mormons. He made us a visit. Almira and I spake very plain to him respecting his coming to drive us out of our habitations. He did not stay long and we don't know if he was offended with our plain dealing."

Don Carlos Buckland was probably more worried about his business affairs than with what his grandmother thought. He claimed that the Mormons owed him $10,000.00. To protect his interests, he seized the Mormon's stock and grain, which he sold at public auction.
