George Buddicom would appear to have been a mariner all his life, and was thus described in his will dated 1715.

His son Robert, also a mariner, was captured and held a slave for seven years until 1721 when a mission was sent by King George I to obtain the release of all those held hostage.

Robert's son, William, was also a mariner and a privateer.  His naval career was long and eventful, from the days of being a cabin boy, alone in the world and having to care for himself, until his death in Liverpool in 1802.

From this family descends William Barber Buddicom, who helped to build the French railway system, and who, like his son after him, was a High Sheriff of Flintshire.

Thereafter the Buddicoms were in the main, ministers of the cloth or squires. 

Today there is only one known family group named Buddicom remaining, and they reside in New Zealand.
