| Info | Ralph P. Buxton (1826-1900)
One of Cumberland County's most important politicians of this period was a member of the minority party in North Carolina, the Republicans.
Ralph Potts Buxton was the son of a well-known Episcopal priest, Jarvis P. Buxton. Ralph Buxton served as the mayor of Fayetteville before the Civil War and later, for several years, as a judge.
In 1880, Buxton ran as the Republican candidate for governor, a race he lost. In later years, he was a mentor for lawyers and politicians of both parties. Throughout his career he supported civil rights, improvements in education and economic development.
