Biographical Sketches
- Constantine Buckley, candidacy for state Supreme Court Justice mentioned in Volume II, pp. 42. "Judge Buckley was a prominent member of the House of Representatives in the Texas legislature, then in session, and some of its members were delegates in the convention, which most probably caused Judge Buckley to be nominated over Judge Gray by a small majority. Judge Buckley's nomination seemed not to be satisfactory to the majority of the citizens in the judicial district, and Judge James H. Bell. . .was elected over him." A Comprehensive History of Texas, 1685 to 1897.
