Buddy's Lake
Buddy's Lake Settlement is listed on the 1850 Federal Census of Benton (now Hernando) County. From the family name associated with this settlement it was located in the southeastern part of Hernando County, most likely the area is now a part of Pasco County. Some of the family names from the 1850 Census are: Smith, Tucker, Mills, Lanier, Tyner, Jackson, Mizell, Townsend, Crum, Bates, Hancock and Moody. These family names are closely associates with the present Spring Lake area of Hernando and Pasco Counties. Some of the persons enumerated in 1850 are buried in the Townsend House Cemetery and the Tucker Cemetery, both in today's northern Pasco County. |
