Charles Buckner Bourden was a Texas Minute Man for Wise County Texas serving from 1872 until 1874, during the Indian Wars in the area. He received a pension for serving during the Civil War. He was appointed a U. S. Postmaster for the Hannah area of Wise County on 4 August 1897.

Charles Buckner "Buck" Bourden's mother was Julia Smith. She was born in 1860 in Wisconsin. She passed away on 6 December 1861. In 1860, this family was living in Washington County Texas. I do not know her death place or her burial place. Perhaps, she died and is buried in Washington County. If she is buried beside her husband, Henry, she has no marker in Lone Star Cemetery.

Buck's father, Henry Bourden is listed on the 1860 Washington County Texas Census as being born in Wisconsin, also. Their three older children, Florence, Bryant and Charles, were born in Mississippi. Cassie was born in Texas in 1857.

Several of Buck and Frances's descendants changed the spelling of their surname to Bowden.
