William Frank Buckley, Sr.
William Frank Buckley, Sr. (July 11, 1881 – October 5, 1958) was a Texan lawyer and oil developer who became influential in Mexican politics during the term of President Victoriano Huerta and was expelled from Mexico during the Presidency of Álvaro Obregón. He became wealthy due to his interests in oil exploration and speculation. Buckley was the father of ten children, including William F. Buckley, Jr., the author and founder of ''National Review'' magazine, and of James L. Buckley, a U.S. Senator from New York (1971–1977). He was the grandfather of Christopher Buckley, an author and humorist.
==Early life, parents and siblings==
Buckley was born the fourth of eight children in Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas to John C. Buckley and Mary Anne Buckley (née Langford). His parents had emigrated to Texas from Canada in 1874. Both of their families had immigrated to Canada from Ireland, from Cork and Limerick, respectively. Langford is a name of English or Norman origin, while Buckley is an anglicized version of the Gaelic Ó Buachalla, a surname quite common in County Cork.
In 1882, the family relocated from the declining town to San Diego, Duval County, Texas, where John Buckley was a businessman who worked in merchandising, politics and sheep raising. He was elected several times as Duval County Sheriff. After William Frank finished school, he taught Spanish-speaking pupils in a country school near Benavides. He retained a knowledge of and friendship with Spanish-speaking people his entire life.
