Algernon Sidney Buford
Algernon Sidney Buford (January 2, 1826 – May 6, 1911) of Chatham, Virginia is best known for his presidency of the Richmond and Danville Railroad during its massive post civil war expansion into the Southern Railway system (now part of Norfolk Southern).
== Early career in Chatham, Virginia ==
Buford was a graduate of the University of Virginia, and came to Chatham, Virginia to enter the practice of law. His choice was understandable, since, several illustrious attorneys had established practices in the town, including Whitmell Pugh Tunstall, who had been the creator and first president of the Richmond and Danville Railroad.
Buford was related to Tunstall. He was Tunstall's nephew-in-law and in manner of speaking, his brother-in-law as well. He married Emily Winifred Townes, daughter of George Townes and Eliza Barker Tunstall. Eliza was the older sister of Whitmell P. Tunstall, and had reared him after the death of their mother,
Buford represented Pittsylvania County in the Virginia House of Delegates during 1853 and 1854.
