Author: History of Grundy Co IL 1882

Joseph Buckley, farmer, P. O. Minooka; emigrated from Lancashire, England, to 
this county in the spring of 1849; he was born February 3, 1831, son of John 
and Mary Buckley, both natives of Lancashire, England. Mr. Buckley 's early 
boyhood was spent in school and in the drug store of his father, who was an 
apothecary and who died in 1851, at which time Joseph returned to England to 
settle up his father's estate, remaining there four years and a half. Upon his 
return to the State, he located in Kendall County, in Lisbon Township, and 
engaged in farming. August 11, 1862, he responded to the Nation's call, and, 
although not a full-fledged citizen at that time, he promptly answered to the 
call to arms, and enlisted as a private in Company H, Eighty-ninth Illinois 
Volunteer Infantry, and continued in service and participated in all the 
engagements in which his regiment took part, beginning with Stone River and 
ending with that of Kenesaw Mountain, June 21, 1864, where he was shot through 
the shoulder, the ball passing down and out of the forearm. This ended his 
usefulness as a soldier, and, after several months in hospitals, was 
discharged, January 20, 1865, on account of disability, and returned to 
Kendall County. In the spring of 1866, he located in this township, on the 
southwest quarter of Section 5, upon land he purchased in 1863, and has since 
remained here. He has a good farm of 100 acres, with excellent buildings 
thereon. February 23, he married Mrs. Mary Barker, relict of William M. 
Barker; she was born in Derbyshire, England, daughter of Samuel and Martha 
(Milner) Naden, the latter a daughter of John and Mary Milner. The Naden 
family emigrated from England in 1846, locating in Lisbon, Kendall County. Mr. 
Buckley has one son. Both he and wife are members of the Au Sable M. E. Church.
