PEEFACE.

Two of the objects which the following work was originally in
tended to accomplish were : (1). To show something concerning
the ]?arentage, birth-place and early life of the brothers Emanuel
and Henry Buck, and (2), To show a perfect tracing of every one of
their lineal descendants, down to the present time. After a patient
and careful examination of the early New England town and State
records, and a laborious correspondence with those in charge at
the various sources of record information in England, I reached tbe
conclusion that the first mentioned object could only be attained, if
at all, by an extended personal examination of the records in Eng-
land, a work necessarily involving much more time and expense
than I could devote to it. I was therefore reluctantly compelled to
abandon an object, the attainment of which, would have been of
great interest to the reader.

Nor was I long in ascertaining that the accomplishment of the
second object, would require at least twenty years of labor, in col-
lecting and arranging the necessary data, and the publication of
several volumes. Tlie impracticability of such an undertaking, soon
led me to abandon it.

As it is, this work, like every other genealogical work, contains
many errors and important omissions. I have made some, and
the copyist and printer are each guilty of some. Many more
must be attributed to the hundreds of correspondents who have
contribvited to the subject matter. Records in family bibles, fre-
quently disagree with epitaphs, — particularly in the matter of
dates, — and the peculiar chirograph}' of the early civil and religious
record makers, are great impediments to accuracy. Besides, the nu-
merous changes in the way of births, marriages, deaths and remov-
als, which have taken place since the spring of 1887, when the la-
bor of collecting data was broken off, are not noted. It is custo-
mary, in works of this kind, to interlard them with portraits of the
wealth}' and more or less distinguished members of the family.
My experience has been, that few people care f(n' an album in such
a shape. Such a course, usually creates jealousy in the minds of
some, and places the cost of the book beyond the reach of a great
many. For these reasons I concluded not to adopt such a course.
There are a few instances m the tracing of the descendants of James

Buck and Elizabetli Sherman wliere I have baen unable to fill in all
the links. Such instances are owintj;- to the refusal of certain per-
sons to answer \nquiries, for reasfins best known to themselves,
and, where they occur, the reasons are stated. Where the matter
has been furnished me concerning tlje lives and characters of in-
dividuals, I have inserted it in a condenced form. To many per-
sons, family origin and lineage, are matters unworthy of con-
sideration. This is a mistake. I fully believe that respecta-
bility of origin, adds lustre to fame, — that " the glory of children
are their fathers." No reasonable man or woman should be insen-
sible to the value of an honorable origin and descent ; especially, if
to the chance of earthly fame, there be added the blessed memory
of the just. Although the present generation may not appreciate
the labor bestowed upon this work, I am confident in the hope,
that future generations will dechire it not to have been in vain.

To whatever of interest or value the readers of this book may
find, they will be largely indebted to the following individuals : —
Kev. Charles D. Buck, Middletown, N. J. ; Prof. Merwin S. Turrill
and Carter Gazley, counsellor at law, Cincinnati, O. ; Eoswell R.
Buck, Esq., Bufialo, N. Y. ; Mrs. Sarah D. Wheat, Rome Ridge, N.

dings, Esq., Bridgeport, Conn. ; Miss Sarah E. Allen, Mr. John S.

mour Buck, Savona, N. Y.; Isaac S. Ford, Arlington, Rush Co.,

THE BUCK F/^MILY.

ORIGIN OF THE SURNAME.

The surname Buck, like nearly every other extant surname, has
been variously written, by those who have borne it in past ages.

From numerous histories, chronicles, books of travel, biographies,
public and private records, documents, grave stones, &c., the follow-
ing versions have been gleaned :

Boc, Boch, Boclie, Bock, Bocke, Bok,- Boke, Book, Booke, Bouc,
Bouck, Boucq, Bouk, Bouke, Buc, Buce, Buci, Bucl), Bache, Buck,
Bucke, Buk, Bake, and Bucq,

T)ie first six of these, are confined to Germans, or their descend-
ants, and do not appear of record before tlie fifteenth century, while
fifteen of the remaining seventeen, are either variations or corrup-
tions of Ijhc or Buck.

Antiquarians disagree as to when surnames were first used by
mankind. It is asserted that they were unknown to the ancients.
But one of the prophets declares " Another shall subscribe with his
" hand unto the Lord and surname himself by the name of Israel." —
(Isaiah 44-5). There are otlier passages in the Old Testament, in-
dicating that the ancients were not without the idea of surnames.
In the early state of the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Egyptians,
Jews, Gauls and Britons, no individual bore more than one name.
The Romans, however, after they had divided into tribes and become
numerous and powerful, ado]ited ap]iarently for the convenience of
identification, three names. But the custom was confined to the
nobilitv, and to those who had obtained Avealth or distinction.

The Saxons appear to liave been the first of the nations of Northern
Europe to use surnames, and to have introduced the custom into
Gaul, as early as the fifth century, where, stimulated by chivalry and
fudalism, it took root and spread rapidly, being confined, however,
to the nobility. The Norman barons, all of whom bore the dignity
of surnames, introduced the custom into England, where it was at
once adopted by all orders of the people. It is a fact Avorthy of
consideration, that the great body of surnames which had been con-

ferred on or assumed bj the nobility, before, or at the time of the
Conquest, may with comparative ease be traced to their origin. On
the other hand, one of the most difficult tasks the genealogist can
attempt, is to trace to its origin, any one of those surnames which
were adopted by the common people after the Conquest. The
reason lies in the fact, that, from the fall of the Eoman Empire to
the Conquest, the good and bad deeds of the royalty and the no-
bility— (who alone bore surnames) — were ^perpetuated, not only by
song, legend and tradition, but by historians, chroniclers and men
of letters, and thus these surnames have, by the assistance of
memory and the potent and natural influence of kinship, been pre-
served through many centuries. While the common people, who
were rarelly mentioned, except collectively, bore surnames for
several generations, with no other agencies of perpetuation, than
memory and tradition.

For example, the surnames Lovell, Bruce, Percy, Bucl% Harvey and
a host of others, may be traced centuries back of tlie Conquest.

Among the early sources prolific of surnames, were animals, —
principally those Avhicli wei'e the objects of the chase, — ^and their
characteristics. By prefixing the definite article " le " to the name
of an animal, a surname was formed whicli in its primary applica-
tion was a sobriquet, allusive, either to the characteristic qualities
of the person, to some incident of his life, or to some figure upon
his standard or shield. Thus, persons possessed of the rapacity of
the wolf, the cunning of the fox, or the strength of the ox, &c., re-
ceived such names as le Wolf, le Fox, le Stere, &c. The records of
medieval times are sprinkled with sucili surnames.

The surname Le Buc (Buck), is one of this class of names, and is
allusive to the male of the animal known as the fallow deer, or to
some of his characteristics.

About A. D. 640, the Franks, a warlike people, originally inhabit-
ing Franconia, in Germany, under their leader Pharamond set-tied
in that part of Gaul, afterwards known as Flanders. Two centuries
later, a considerable portion of Flanders was governed by a tyrant
named Phinart. This was in the reign over France, of Clothaire 11.
of the Merovingian dynasty.

For many years, a bloody and unceasing struggle for supremacy
between the Franks and other tribes, had been going on.

Clothaire II. died A. D. 628, and was succeeded by his son
Dagobert I. This monarch began a reign which may be regarded

as the culminating point of the Merovingian dynasty ; for, by it, the
Franks acquired a decided preponderance among the western
nations. But although Dagobert's title was recognized from the
Weser to the Pyrenees, and from the Ocean to the boundaries of
Bohemia, his authority was little respected. He was little more
than King in name. To maintain their tottering power and preserve
the integrity of their domains, his predecessors had from time to
time, made so many concessions to the proud and refractory vassals
— the Counts, Signeurs and Lords — that these gentr}^ and their
adherents, had well nigh usurped the jurisdiction of the Crown.
Their rights were hereditary and irrevocable, and they claimed and
exercised the power of appointing the judges and tribunals of their
respective territories.

Seven years before, in order to appease the clamor of tlie rebel-
lious Northern nobles, Clothaire had proclaimed Dagobert King of
Austrasia, one of the three divisions into which France was then
divided. Upon his succession to the throne, Dagobert set about
efifecting some reforms in his domains. By personally visiting the
provinces, dispensing justice, and redressing grievances, he curbed
the cruelty and rapacity of the lauded nobles, with considerable
success.

In A. D. 621, lie divided that portion of his domains called Aus-
trasia, into several provinces, the government of Avhich, he bestowed
upon his most trusty knights.

Among the distinguished personages who rendered Dagobert
invaluable services, in repelling and subduing the barbaric enemies
of France, was Lyderic, only son of Saluart, Prince of Dijon, a
man of " inniimei-able virtues," according to the old chroniclers,
who had been from his boyhood, schooled in the arts and vicissitudes
of warfare, and who was counted one of the bravest and most pow-
e)ful knights of his day. Besides his many good qualities and
virtues, his marriage with the Merovingian Princess Richilda, sister
of Dagobert, threw him into close relationship and sympathy with
the King, who soon marked him for the highest honors. Moreover,
Lyderic's mother, was the celebrated Madame Enigarde, the daugh-
ter of Giravd Signoui- de Roussilon, herself a princess of the royal
blood, and (uie of whose descendants became the wife of Charles
Martel, Fin])eror of France, which last circumstance, gave rise to
the beMutiful romance of provincal days, so highly lauded by Ray-
nourd, Fauviel and other writers on provincal poetry.

8

In A. D. 621, for having conquered and killed the tyrant Phinart,
Dagobert bestowed upon Lyderic, the government and fief of Flan-
ders, gave him the surnams of le Buc and a coat of arms.

The entry in the old Flemish chronicle is as follows: "Lyderic
" the first of the name called Buc, only son of Saluart Prince of
" Dijon and of Madame Emgarde, daughter of Girard Lord of
" Kouessilon, having conquered and killed Phinart the tyrant, Lord
" of Buc was appointed the first Forester of the country of Flan-
" ders, in the year 621, by the King of France, Dagobert and car-
" ried the first arms that are blazoned as being ' gnronny or et azur
" (gold and blue) of ten pieces in the middle of an escutchon gules,' died
" in the year 692.'" This coat of arms was probably one of the
earliest granted.

The origin of the title " Grand Forester," is unknown, but prob-
ably bore some relation to the wooded state of the country. Lyderic
Le Buck governed Flanders wisely and humanely, until his death.
In A. D. 6-40, he completed a castle on the bank of the river, which,
from its insulated position, was called " I'lsle," since easily changed
to Lille. In this castle, Lyderic's descendants and successors, as
Foresters and Counts of Flanders, resided for several centuries.
Guicciardine says its ruins were extant in his time. About this
castle, in time, grew the since famous City of Lille, Capital of Flan-
ders, which once vied in importance with Lancashire, England, in
the extent and value of its manufacturers. It is still " no mean
city" and contains some of the most valuable works of art in all
Europe. The celebrated Hotel de Ville, built by Jean Sans Peuriu
1430, contains forty-four of Eaphael's paintings. The portraits of
Lyderic Le Buc and several of his descendants, hang in the Musee
in Lille.

B}' Richilda, his wife, Lyderic Le Buc had fifteen children. His
descendants for six generations after his death governed Flanders
as follows :

I. Antoine, Second son of Lyderic Le Buc, First Grand Forester.

II. Bovchard, Third son of the last named Forester, &c., and
Lord of Harlebec.

III. Estorede, son of the last named Forester, &c., Prince of
Loraine and Lord of Harlebec. Died A. D. 792.

IV. Lj/deric Second, son of the last named Forester, &c., was
made Count of Flanders and Harlebec. Died A. D. 836.

V. lugleran, son of Lyderic II, Forester, &c., Lord, &c., was a

great builder of castles and towns. Died A. D. 852. Buried at
Harlebec.

VI. Odacre, son of the last named Forester, (fee. Built the Castle
of Audeuaerde and tlie walls of Ghent ; rebuilt many towns. Died
A. D. 864. Buried at Harlebec.

Upon the death of Odacre, the title of Forester and Count of
Flanders passed to Bakhvin Bras de fer and his decendants, w^ho
held it for several centuries. The successors of Lyderic Le Buc,
depended less and less upon the Fraukish crown, as time w^ent by,
and at length, the Foresters of Flanders appear among the holders
of great state offices. At a latter period, they bore the sword before
the Kinirs of France at their coronation.

EMIGRATION TO AND SPREAD OF THE LE BUCK FAMILY IN

ENGLAND.

From the beginning of the reign of Edward the Confessor (1041),
to the reign of Henr}' III. of England, the Knights of Flanders
ranked as thc^ most daring and nnscrnpulous in all Europe. They
made w.ir a ])rofession, and sold their prowess to the highest bidder.
The learned historian Saint Paylaye says that " the business of a true
" knight was, ' first of all, to fight well, then to conduct a troop well,
" ride a horse well, and present himself at court wnth grace.' " This
writer is confirmed b}' a later one, Raynourd, Avho, however, says
that the Knights were in many essential qualities ver}'^ bad men.
The early chroniclers record many instances during this period, of
large bodies of these Knights of Flanders, known as " Roiterers "
and "Brabaucons," from their marauding propensities, having been
employed as mercenaries to repel the enemies of the English and
French monarchs. When tlius engaged, they distinguished them-
selves more by their rapacity and cruelty than by their bravery
and virtue.

Matthew of Westminster says, that in the reigns of Henry I.
aiivl Stephen, such was the insecurity of property in England that
owners thereof gave a part of their manors to such persons as
would watcli the roads and keep off assailants. "Knights of all
" kinds," says William of Malmesbury, "flocked into England, and

10

" especially from Flanders, who distingiiishecl themselves for their
" rapine," As an illustration of the character of these visiting
gentry, it is related by. the last named chronicler, that " one of
" them, in the reign of John, boasted that he had assisted to roast
" twenty-four monks. He had anointed his captives with honey
" and exposed them naked under a burning sun for insects to tor-
" ment." Matthew Paris says that these Knights " hung men by
" the feet, thumbs and head, smoked them to death, impounded
" them with beasts, toads, snakes, &c. In John's reign nearly all
" the castles of England were the dens of robbers and thieves from
" Flanders and Bretagne." They were generally in the employ of
the English King, but many of them found employment in the
Crusades, where they distinguished themsidves for their savage
brutality. From A. D. 864 to 1066 the le Bucs figured conspicuously
in the adventurous calling of Knighthood.

Gilbert de Gant, a Flemish noble, son of Baldwin YL, Earl of
Flanders, and nephew to William the Conquerer, led a large body
of Flemish Knights under his uncle William, and fought at Hast-
ings in 1066, for which service William gave him fifty-four town-
ships in several counties, principally in York and Lincolnshire.
This is the same Gant, who two years later so distingaished himself
at the slaughter of the English by the Danes and Scots under Edgar
Atheling at York. He died in the reign of Rufus, and his barony
descended to his son Walter, who will be mentioned again. One of
these le Bucs fought under de Gant at Hastings. The ''noil of Battel
Abbey " does not mention the name of le Buc, but " Domesday Book"
enumerates persons named le Buci, among those Avliom Duke Wil-
liam rewarded with lands, who were probably identical with the le
Bucs. Henry I. frequently emploved large numbers of the Knights of
Flanders to assist him in repelling the incursions of the Scents and
Welsh. On one occasion, in 1111, he colonized a number of them
in Pembroke, and later settled several hundred of them in North-
umbria, as a barrier against the impetuous Scots. A scion of this
Flemish family of le Buc's, named Rudolphus le Buc, fouglit under
Henry's standard early in his reign. For gallant services on the
field of battle, Henry granted Budolphns le Buc extensive domains,
north of the Humber, at Buckton, Eston and other localities in the
Wapentake of Bucrosis, in Yorkshire, where his descendants became
numerous and still flourish. This Rudolphus le Buc and his son,
Gocelinus le Buc, according to Camden, were joint founders, with

11

Walter de Gant, son of Gilbert de Gant, before ineutioned, of the
famous Priory or Churcli of St. Marj of Bridlington, in Yorksliire.
For the love lie bore to Rndolplias, Gocelinus and de Gant, their
parents and friends, Henrj granted them a charter. (SeeDugdale's
Monasticou, vol. vi., p. 785). Both Rudolplius aud his son, from
time to time, according to Dngdale, made extensive donations of
land to this priory. This spacious and magnificent edifice suffered
demolition in the reign of Henry YIII., and only the fortified gate-
house and nave are left to mark its site. Gocelinus le Buc, son of
E/udolphus, left an only child, a daughter.

In the reign of John over England, says Roger Wendover, one
Walter le Buc of Brabant, who is said to have been a lineal descen-
dant of Lyderic le Buc, first Forester of Flanders, Avas a Knight
aud Cadet of the House of Flanders. In 1215 King John during
his desperate struggle with the refractory barons, applied to the then
Earl of Flanders for assistance. The Earl forthwith dispatched
Fulcas de Bi'eant of Loraine and Walter le Buc of Brabant, two of
his bravest Knights, with a large body of Brabancon's soldiers and
cross-bowmen to John's assistance (see Roger Wendover.) They
were, to use the words of Matthew of Westminster, " a vile lot,
" thirsting only for human blood," who burned castles, committed
the most l)rutal murders, and in every way acquitted themselves
like fiends. De Braent was such a savage brute, that he was sub-
sequently driven from England and was finalh' poisoned, dying
miserably at 8t. Cyriac in 1227. Le Buc, although by nature
ferocius, was a soberer man aud bravely served John on manv occa-
sions, particularly at the attack on the Isle of Ely (121G.) William
of Maliuesbury, says Le Bnc was present at Runnymede on the
occasion of the signing of Magna Charta by John. King John pre-
vailed u})(>n Walter le Bnc to settle in England; and, as a reAvard
for services, as well as inducement to get such a brave Knight to
become a subject of England, John gave Walter extensive tracts of
land in York and Lincolnshire. Walter married, built his seat or
residence in Yorkshire, where, as the story runs, he met Gocelinus
le Buc who has been hereinbefore mentioned. Walter had several
children, one of whom was son and heir, Ralph by name. This
Ral])l), through the connivance of his father aud Gocelinus, married
the only daughter and heir of Gocelinus, and tlius after several
centuries, the two branches of the family became united. From these

12

two branches it is said, are descended all the Bucks in this country.
B^^ the time Edward I. ascended' the English throne, the le Bucs
had become numerous in Yorkshire and adjoining counties. A
direct descendant of Walter le Buc and the daughter of Gocelinus,
was Sir John le Buc who lived in the reign of E;lward I., as appears
by his deeds in Herthill made in the first and twent5^-second years
of that m, march's reign. He married a Strelley. She died young,
but left issue. This Sir John was so devoted to his wife, that upon
her death, he is said to have made a religious vow and joined the or-
der known as the "Knights of Rhodes." More than two centuries ago,
his arms were to be seen in the ruins of the Hospital of St. Johns,
near Smithfield, and in the church at All Hallows at the upper end
of Lombard Street. This last named church was built prior to 1033,
and repaired in 1516, with the stones brought from old St. John's
Hospital. The present structure was built by Sir Christopher
Wren in 1694 In 1273, after his return from the Crusades, King
Edward I. caused inquiry to be made into the rights and revenues
of the crown. These inquiries were made upon the oath of a jury
of each hundred in the realm. These inquisitions, when collected,
were opportunely called " Eotuli Hundredorum," the hundred rolls.
Seventy thousand persons are referred to in them. These rolls
were drawn up, when family names, which had been coming into
use for nearly two centuries, had become general among all classes
of persons. Some are in Latin, some in English and some in
French, with the prefix "le." In these rolls appear not only the
last named Sir John le Buc," Knight of the Rhodes," whose lands
are located and rated at Bucktown in Yorkshire, — but other per-
sons named le Buc having estates as follows : In Yorksliire, Roger
le Buc, Henry le Buc ; in Balberg, Suiiolk County, John le Buc ; in
the Hundred of Huntington, Amicia le Buc ; at Chelton, Margaret
le Buc; at Lyttonston and Brompttni, Richard le Buc; at Bromjj-
ton, Robert le Buc, William le Buc, Nicholas le Buc ; in Wiltshire,
Hugo le Buc, Ellen le Buc and Peter le Buc; in Bucks, Castro le
Buc; at Halton, Walter le Buc, and at Hingham in Norfolk County,
Edric le Buc. All these were the descendants of Randolphus and
Walter le Bnc, Knights of Flanders.

The several charters granted to Bridlington priory, from the
reign of Henry I. to Edward I., and the chroniclers and historians
of a later period, as contained in Dugdale, show that the family
seats remained at Buckton and Eston, in Yorkshire, and that their

13

descendants were donors and patrons of the convent and priory at
Bridlington, until its destruction b}- Heur\- YIII. In 1251, during
the reign of Heury III., William le Buc, of Bucktou, is mentioned
as One of the heads and donors of Bridlington Priory. The follow-
ing year, his son and heir, Robert le Buc, is mentioned as holding
lands at Buckton, and as connected with the convent. This Robert
is again mentioned in 1286, in connection Avith the Parish of St.
Cuthbert. Arnaldus, son of Walter le Buc, was a patron of the
Bridlington Priory from 1291 to 1303. Still later, Thomas, son of
Tljomas le Buc, Henrj' le Buc and William le Buc, are mentioned
as being at Buckton, which according to Thompson's " History of
Bridlington," Avas formerly in the stoke or church jurisdiction of
Bridlington. In 1320, William le Buc is mentioned iu connection
with the Dominican Church at Scarboro, in Yorkshire. In 1323 a
Rudolphus le Buc, of Yorkshire, was examined at Portsmouth
concerning an escape, as appears by an old court record. A
grandson of the famcms " Knight of the Rhodes " was Sir John
Bucke, who, in 1387, as Admiral of the Flemish fleet for the Duke
of Burgundy, participated in the great naval battle between the
combined Spanish and French fleets on one side, and the English,
under the Earl of Arundel, on the other, off Sluys, on the Flemish
coast. Froisart, in his narrative of this battle, gives Sir John
credit for great bravery and prudence, notwithstanding the Flem-
isii fleet Avas defeated and captured. Sir John was carried prisoner
to London, and confined in the Tt)wer for three years and until his
death. The English King, Edward III., remained deaf to all pro-
positions to ransom the Admiral, tlnjugh the Duke of Burgund}'
offered to give in exchange for him, a bastard brother of the King
of Poi'tugal. The English considered Sir J.)lm too dangerous a
foe to be at liberty.

Lawrence Buckt^, a son of this Sir John, followed EdAvard Plan-
taganet, Duke of York, and was slain Avliile bravely fighting at the
battle of Agincourt. Sir John Bucke, son and heir of Lawrence,
married a daughter and heir of the house of StaA'ely, out of which
were descended the Barons Parr, of Kendall, and Ross, Queen
Katherine Parr (last wife of Henry YIII.), Lord Parr, Earl of
Northampton, and the Herberts, Earls of Pembroke and Mont-
gomery. These Bucks resided principally in Herthill and other
townships in Yorkshiie, and from their intermarriages with the
families of Stirly of Woodhall, Thorpe, Filney (then of Lincoln-
shire), and Saville, many noble families descended.

14

Sir John Bucke, last mentioned, married the daughter of Henry
Saville, and settled in Lincolnsliire in the reign of Edward IV. He
had a son Robert and several other children. He was a man of
considerable fame in his day. He became a great favorite of Rich-
ard III., who ennobled him. He stood by the unfortunate King to
the last, fighting bravely for him at Bos worth. Upon the accession
of Henry YIII. Sir John was for a time in favor, and was designated
as one of the thirty nobles who attended Heur3^'s wedding ; but
soon after, Henry, under acts of Attainder took off the heads of all
the nobles who had supported Richard, and Sir John's fell with
the rest. His children, being orphans, by the Attainder of their
father, were taken in charge by the Duke of Norfolk, who took
them into more southerly parts of the Kingdom. He gave two of
the daughters in marriage, — one with the heir of Bucke, and the
other with the heir of Fitz Lewis, a very ancient family — from
which unions manv honorable and distiuf^uished f;imilies descended.
There were three sons. Of these, Robert, the eldest, was a soldier;
another was a courtier, and the third a priest. The Duke united
Robert in marriage, atMelford Hall, in Suffolk, with the families of
Hengham and Cotton. His descendants intermarried with the
Blounts of Elwaston, the Talbots of Grofton, from whom descended
the Barons of Montjoy and the Earls of Shrewsbury. The Duke
married one of the daughters to Frederick Tilney, of Shirley Hall,
in Suffolk, his nearest kinsman by the Duchess, on his mother's
side. A great-grand-sou of the Sir John Buck attainted by Henry
VII., was George Buck, of Lincohishire, who was knighted July
26th, 1603, by King James I. and appointed Master of the Revels,
Gentleman of the Privy Chamber, &g. Camden saj^s he was " a
" very polite scholar who (that I may acknowledge ray obligations
" to my friends) made many curious historical observations and
" candidly imparted them to me." Sir George attained celebrity as
an author and antiquarian. His works, though few, are admitted
to be of the highest order. Among these is the life of Richard III.
in five volumes, in which he undertakes to refute many erroneous
statements concerning Richard's life and times. This work, al-
though not published till twenty years after the author's death,
drew the unjust and undeserved censure of a multitnte of ignorant
and bigoted critics.

From Sir George's statements of the origin and descent of his
line of the Buck family, the author of this work has seen fit to draw

15

to some extent, after having first verified the most of the matter so
drawn, bj reference to numerous authorities. Sir George Buc died
in 1623, several years after the first of his name had effected a lodg-
ment on the shores of North America.

From various sources, the writer has gleaned a great mass of in-
formation relative to the Bucks in England, the use of which, it is
to be regretted, space will not permit.

A few items are however selected, which may be of interest to the
reader, as showing the strong tendency of the family to become
clergymen and politicians. John Buck settled at Benston, County
Norfolk, about 1453, and became rector of the church there four
Vf^ars later. This church was founded prior to 1299. J<)hn died in
1404. In 1547 one of his descendants was master of the free schooi
in the City of Norwich. John Buck in Holy Orders, made a pil-
grimage to Rome in 1583, an account of which he wrote out. Wil-
liam Buck was assistant Vicar of Hawgley in 1537.

A doctor, James Buck, was vicar of Stradbrook, in County Suffolk
in 1649, and for many years after. He was a learned and eloquent
man. He and his two wives and seven children are buried in the
north aisle of St. Peter's Church, Cornhill, Loudon. His son John,
likewise an eloquent man, was vicar of Stradbrook. Pep3's speaks
highly of him, having heard him preach a thanksgiving sermon in
St. Paul's Church, London.

A John Buck as a minister, ofiiciated in some capacity in Canter-
bury Cathedral in 1650. He and his wife are buried in the nave of
that church. Zachariah Buck, a native of Norwich, and descendant
of the Rector John Buck, above named, became organist of the
Norwich Cathedral in 1819. He composed a complete church
service, several anthems and organized the famous choir mentioned
by musical writers. This branch produced a dozen ministers. A
Master Buck of Aldermansbury Avas required by Henry VIII. in
1522, to furnish a " hall and parlor, twochambsrs and four beds"
for guests on the occasion of the visit of the Emperor Charles V. to
Enghmd. Sir Peter Buc-k of Rochester in Kent, was knighted by
James I. in 1603. According to Pepys, he was Secretary to Alger-
non Percy, Earl of Northumberland and Lord High Admiral. In
1608 he was " clerk of the acts of tlie navy." He had a brother
Edward Yonge Buck. Elizabeth Buck, eldest daughter of Thomas
Buck of Westwick, County Cambiidge, was married to Christopher
Hatton in Westminster Abbey in 1674. Hatton was a nephew of

16

Sir Christopher Hattou. It was an ancestor of this Elizabeth, who
was beadle of Cambridge University early in the 17th century and
■whose daughter w^as granted the right of arms in 1671.

THE BUCK FAMILY AHMS.

Before following the Bucks to America, it is proper to insert de-
scriptions of the several coats of arms borne by different branches
of the Buck family in England. It is not known when many of
these were assumed or bestowed; but none of them can be older
than the reign of Henry I., as family coats of arms Avere not adopt-
ed in England, earlier than the tw^elfth century. The majorit}' of
them date no further back than the sixteenth and seventeenth cen-
turies, during which period, in fact, most of the Englisli armorial
bearings extant, were assumed. Whitmore, in his " Elements of
Heraldry,'' truly says, that " identity of name does not argue iden-
tity of origin." This remark might apply with force to such names
as Smith, Brown, Jones, and a great host of others, w^hich were as-
sumed by the common people long after the Conquest. Bat differ-
ence of origin, as in those cases, invariably produces confusion and
dissimilarit}' of armorial bearings. One who will carefully com-
pare the several coats of arms given below, noting the existence of
the male deer, or some portion of that animal, on or above the
shield in nearly all of them, must conclude not only that the name
is derived from the male fallow deer, but that the Bucks of Eng-
land and America are all descended from one common ancestor. '
What greatly lessens, in fact, almost destroys the value of these
coats of arms, as a means of determining the connection between
English and American branches, is tlie fact that by the rules of
Englisli heraldry, the first assumer, or grantee of a coat of arms,
took that as his distinguishing mark. It became hereditary in his
own famil}^ and none of his namesakes, none of his relatives, out-
side of his direct descendants, had any claim to share it with him.
The result of this rule was, that the ot3Scials who made periodical
"Visitations," so called, through the realm, and registered the pedi-
grees of families, generally followed the line of the eldest son or
heir, tracing his brothers and sisters no further than to name them
and their wives, if married. For this reason, the numerous
" Heraldric Visitations " of the middle ages, many of which have

17

been pnblisbed, render but slight assistance to the genealogist.
Another difficulty lies in the fact that but very few indeed, of the
early American colonists, used coats of arms. The descriptions and
engravings which here follow, it is hoped, may attract the atten-
tion and engage the thought of some curious reader to further in-
vestigation of a subject wliicli will yield pleasure, if not profit :

EMIGRATION TO VIRGITSTIA.

The Reformation set (m foot by an Augustine monk, begat Puritan-
ism and Puritanism begat the Republic of the United States.

Protestanism enfranchised the minds of men, and Puritanism gave
birth to civil and religious liberty in the wilderness of a continent,
which a Genoese adventurer had discovered. The Puritans in
England, desiring only reform, did not at first advocate separation
from the established church, and hence, did not excite the alarm of
reigning despots. But late in the reign of Elizabeth, when they as-
serted the liberty of each individual mind to discover the truth m

19

the word of God, conderamed the ceremonies and government of an
effete and corrupt clinrch, and refused to hold communion with it,
they began to alarm the powers of both church and state. When
at last, Elizabeth saw the drift of matters, slie and her ministers
abandoned conciliation, and by every arbitrary means in their
power, endeavored to check the tide of reform. But each effort
only served to hasten the inevitable result. The Puritans were
an established power, beyond the control of Royalty. Hounded
night and day by agents of an intolerant Hierarchy ; scoffed and
scorned by the profane multitude ; driven into exile ; imprisoned in
vile dungeons and torturedin the most crael manner, these followers
of the new star of liberty, continued to denounce the beggarly cer-
emonies of the Romish Church, as " monuments of idolatry," re-
fused to conform to them, and, renouncing all obedience to human
authority, asserted for themselves unlimited authority, in things
spiritual. The haughty Tudor Queen discovered, when it was too
late, that the spirit which actuated this band of noble men and
women, eidightened by the word of God, and inspired by the fine
words and examples of such men as "Wickliff, Huss, Calvin and
Robinson, could not be crushed and soured by disappointments and
the decline of her popularity, " Good Queen Bess " died, leaving
the work of extinguishing these enemies of the crowai and the mitre,
to the more despotic «lames. That monarch, true to his nature,. be-
gan his reign in 1604 with the threat "I will make them conform
or I will harry them out of the land or hang them," and was not
long in suiting the action to the word. In the following year he
silenced, imprisoned or exiled three hundred Puritan ministers.
The poor people of tlie north of England, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire,
and Nottinghainpshire were the greatest sufferers, since it was
among them that Puritanism first took root and flourished under
the leadership of R(jbinson. Large numbers of these fled to Hol-
land after 1608, among whom were those who eventually came to
America in the Ma^'flower. By an act of Parliament in 1631 pro-
viding that no person should leave the realm, until he or she had
taken the oath of conformity. King James hoped to exterminate
Puritanism ; but all to no purpose. High Heaven had decreed that
during his and the succeeding reign, the tree of liberty should be
planted and successfully fostered in the soil of America. Five
years after King James had made the threat, which he so cruelly
executed. Rev. Richard Buck, was the first person, bearing the

20

name to arrive in America. He was one of that brave band of five
hundred men and woman, who came over with Newport, Gates
and Somers in 1609, to succor the suffering Virginia Colony at
Jamestown. Newport's fleet of nine vessels s^dled from England in
Mav. When near the coast of Virginia it was struck by a terrific
hurricane and " The Sea Venture," on board of which was Rev.
Richard Buck, was stranded on the reefs of one of the Bermuda
Islands. Those on board escaped to land, where they spent nine
months in constructing from the old wrecks, and the cedars of the
Island, two vessels, on board of wliich they eventually reached
Jamestown. On the 10th of June, 1610, the restoration of the
famishing colony was begun by Lord' De La Ware, with solemn re-
ligious services, conducted by Rev. Richard Buck, who preached in
a little chapel built of logs, covered with rafters, sedge and earth,
just then completed. This ivas the first sermon preached under a roof
within the limits of the United States. Richard Buck appears to have
been a resident of Loudon, if not a native, and to have studied at
Oxford University. Although regularly ordained as a minister of
the established church, his sympathies with the doctrines of Puri-
tanism, constrained him to choose exile rather than compliance with
the odious conformit}^ acts of Parliament, w^hicli the bigoted James
I. was then enforcing. Richard was a brave, zealous, conscientious
man who gave his life to the spiritual welfare of his brother and
sister colonists. His Avife whom he had mai'ried before departing
from England, shared with him the terrible hardships of that
memorable voyage. His narrative of their tempestuous passage,
shipwreck and sufferings, includes the circumstance of the birth of
their eldest child on shipboard. He labored at Jamestown until,
worn out by hardships and exposure, he died in 1624. His wife
and four children, Maria, Gershom, Beunoni and Peleg survived
him. The early colonial writers refer to the sad fact that this Ben-
noni iDas the first natural horn fool of Enr/lish speaking colonists in
America. Those of his descendants who did not remain in Virginia,
emigrated westward. The writer has been unable to ascertain
Richard's relationship to the ]>ucks of New England.

EMIGRATION" TO MASSACHUSETTS.

In point of time, the next of the family to arrive in America were
William Buck, then aged 60, and his son Eoger, aged 18. They,
with other emigrants, left England in April, 1635, on the ship "In-
crease," Captain Robert Le Master, and disembarked at Boston a
month later. It appears by the certificate, signed by the justices
and ministers of the place where they had resided, and which they
exhibited to the Master of the vessel before embarking, that they
had " taken and subscribed to the oaths of allegiance and supremacy
" tf) the government and discipline of the Church of England."
This they had done, no doubt under compulsion, and witli the al-
ternative of being thrown into prison. The ship's register shows
that William was a "plow-rite" — a person who makes and mends
plows, — ^but there is no entry in the record of the particular place
of his nativity. He and his sou Roger wen"t directly to Cambridge,
then in process of settlement, Avhere in 1652 the town granted Wil-
liam twenty acres out of tli e "Cambridge Survey" (Lot 91). Tliis
lot was in the west field northeast from Garden Street, where was
formerly one of tlie highways leading to the great swamp, now
called Raymond Street. It butted on the stream which divides
Woburn from Cambridge, and on the Winthrop farm. Here Wil-
liam bnilt his family residence. He died intestate January 24,
1658, and was buried in the (31d Cemetery at Cambridge. His wife
(i)ame unknown), had died before his departure from England. His
son Roger, who inherited all his property, was appointed his ad-
ministrator in April fullowing (1658).

The town granted to Roger lot No. 5 (10 acres) of the Cambridge
Survey. This also butted on the Winthrop farm, and on the stream
separating Cambridge from Woburn. Roger seems to have been
illiterate, for in 1668 he made " his mark" to a petition to the Gen-
eral Court. He followed the occupation of his father in connection
with farming. For some time he served as town executioner, as
appears by entries in the town records, one of Avliich states that he
is ordered to inflict twenty lashes on the back of a culprit in 1668.
In the spring of 1665, on the death of his wife Susanna, he removed
to Woburn. In 1688 he sold part of the homestead of his father
to his son-in-ltiw, Thomas Baverick, on condition that if the latter
should sell the same, Roger's son Ephraim should have the prefer-

22

euce as purchaser. Roger died at Woburn, November 10, 1693, and

was buried at Woburn. His wife Susanna was buried at Caui-

biidge. The issue of Roger and Susanna Buck were : —
I. Samuel, b. Feby. 6, 1642^3. V. Ruth, b. Nov., 1613.

II. John, b. Sept. 13, 1644, d 1644. VI. Elizabeth, b. July 5, 1657.

III. Ephraim, b. July 26, 1646. VII. Ly<iia, b. 1655.

IV. Mary, b. June 25, 1648, d. Aug. 3, 1669.

Of the daughters, Mary died unmarried; Ruth married Thomas
Baverick ; Elizabeth married, August 20, 1678, Joshua Wood, and
Lydia married November 3, 1672. Of the sons, John died unmar-
ried; Samuel married, March 16, 1669, Rachel Levin, and settled in
Meuotonomy, where he died September 21, 1690, and his wife Rachel
died in 1691. On the death of Samuel, his estate was divided
between his children, who were: (1) Nathaniel, b. July 16, 1672, d.
July 19, 1672 ; (2) Hannah, b. January 3, 1671, d. April 3, 1675 ;
(3) Rachel, b. July, 1676 (m. December 18, 1694, Jobez Brooks), d.
February 23, 1698; (4) Anna, b. August 18, 1680; (5) Sarah, b. July
5, 1694, and (6) Samuel, b. December 3, 1686. Ephraim, the re-
maining son of Roger, married Januarj' 1,1671, Sarah Brooks. He
resided at Woburn, and was a farmer by occupation. In 1692 he
was elected constable of Charlestown, where the town records show

he solemnized marriages. He died in 1720. His issue were : —
I. Sarah, b. Jany. 11, 1674. V. Samuel, b. Nov. 1, 1682.

II. John, b. Jauy. 1, 1675. VI. Eunice, b. July 16, 1685.

III. Ephraim, b. July 13, 1676. VII Ebenezer, b. May 20, 1689!

IV. Johii,b. Feby. 1. 1680. VIII. Mary, b. Oct. 28, 1691.

Of the above last named eight children, Sarah married a Gower,
the two Johns died in infancy; Samuel married Abigail Wyman and
left a son who never married ; Eunice never married, and Mary
married Nathaniel Pike ; Ephraim married and remained at Wo-
burn ; Ebenezer married and had a son Jonathan C, February 20,
1719, who removed with his father to Haverhill, where he married
October 9, 1775, Lydia Moore. In 1762 he removed to a point on
Penobscot Rivei", Maine, where he settled naming the place Bucks-
port. It was incorporated by that name shortly after his death,
which was in 1795. He left nine living children, from whom have
sprung many descendants. He was commander of Fort Pownal in
1775 and served throughout the war for independence. It has been
said tiiat William and Roger Buck were near blood relatives of the
Bucks who settled in Connecticut, but there seems to be no evidence
for the assertion — at any rate, no such evidence has been discovered.

In October, 1635, one Isaac Buck and several otlier persons were
transported to Boston in the ship " Amitia" (Capt. Geo. Downs) for
refusing to take the oath of conformity. Isaac was then aged
thirty-four. His wife, Frances Marsh, whom he married before
leaving Ell 'jfland, folloAved her husband in December of the same
year, being then twenty years ohl. Isaac went to Scituate, where he
bought land and where he was enumerated as " subject to military
duty" in 1613. In 1647 he was elected town clerk of Scituate. By
occupation he was a blacksmith. He seems to have become in-
fluential in town and church matters. In 1658 he was admitted to
the privilege of a "Freeman," and in the fall of the following year
was elected constable,' an office of far more dignity than in these
days. After this he was electe<l deputy for Scituate, which office he
hekl for several years. In 1668 he was made a councilman, and in
1676 received the appointment of lieutenant in the colonial militia.
While in this capacity, he repulsed an Indian attack on the town.
He seems to have faithfully and honorably filled all these offices.
In 1650 he lodged a complaint with Governor Bradford and the
council against one John Hewes for larceny and procured the con-
viction of Hewes. In 1655 the Governor and Council fined him 20s.
for refusing to shoe certain horses which were to be employed in
carrying one of the Massachusetts Commissioners to New Haven on
public business. His neighV)ors sustained him in the act and pro-
cured a remission of the fine. In 1656 Governor Bradford com-
plained of him for misbehavior as clerk of the Scituate " train
band," which position he held several terms. This action, too, his
fellow-townsmen seem to have ujiheld against the Governor and
Council. In 1659 he was again in " hot water " about the town tax-
rates, but managed to get (Hit. He died in 1696, aged 93. His
widow survived him. His children were at least eight in number,

viz.:

I. Thomas.
II. Joseph.
III. Benjamin.
lY. Jouiithau.

Elizabeth married Robert Whitcomb ; Mehitable married Stephen

In 1638 several families at Hengham and adjoining towns in Nor-
folk County, England, came over to Boston in the ship " Dilligent,"
and settled the town of Higham in Massachusetts. One Gushing
made " A record of such persons as came out of the town of Heng-
" and towns adjacent in Great Britain and settled in New England,"
from which record it appears that "James Buck and his servant
" John Morfield, came from Old Hengham, County Norfolk, Great
" Britain, to America in 1638, and settled at New Hingham, in New
" England." The following year (May 22, 1639) this James Buck
was made a freeman of Boston by the General Court. The only
mention made of him afterwards is of his devising property to a
John Buck in Hingham, County Norfolk, near " Norald Common,
formerly called Eolsom." This was undoubtedly the home of John's
family bofore his emigration.

One John Buck, it is said, settled at Stratford, Connecticut, as
early as 1625. This is manifestly an error, since no settlement was
commenced at Stratford, until several years later. It is said that
this John was a brother of James, last mentioned, and that he came
over on the same ship with James. If so, Cushing omitted to
mention John in his "record." More likely tins John^was a brother
of Isaac above mentioned, for in 1655 John was living at Scituate, or
at Marshfield, near there, as appears by an entr\' in an old record at
Scituate, which states that he was one of a coroner's jury who sat to
determine the cause of death of one Draiton, who had been frozen
to death. John Buck's issue were :

I. Elizabeth, b. 1G53, VI. Susanna, b, 1664.

II. Mary, b. 1655. VII. Benjamin, b. 1665.

III. Joseph, b. 1657. VIII. Deborah, b. 1670.

ry. John, b. 1659. IX. Kobeit, b. 167'2.

V. Hannah, b. 1661. X. Rachel, b. 1674.

John Buck's wife Elizabeth Holbrook, of Weymouth, dying in
1690, he married (2) Sarih Eraunce, by whom he had no issue. His
will bears date in 1699, about which time he died. That the
Cambridge Scituate and Hingham Backs were closely related to the
Connecticut Bucks, there is little doubt, but the particular degree of
relationship they bore to each other the writer has been unable to
determine. It is to be hoped that some reader of this work may
find pleasure in such further investigation of the subject, as may
bring to light the facts.

emigration to conntecticut.
First Generation.

(1) EMANUEL (OR ENOCH) BUCK.

AND

(2) HENKY BUCK.

It was the summer of 1647. Twenty-seven years had ehipsed
since the Lmding of the pilgrims from the Mayflower, and fourteen
years had rolled around since the heroic little band of sixty men,
women and children of Newtown and Watertown, Mass., had tra-
versed the trackless and howling wilderness, to begin a settlement
in the Connecticut valley. Quite a cluster of rude dwellings had
sj)rung up on the west bank of the river, four miles south of Hart-
ford. The peo])le inhabiting these dwellings had begun with dignity
to call themselves "The Town." They had already christened their
little hamlet " Wethersheld," in honor of the little town of that
name in Suffolkshire, England, and had begun to keep a record of
matters of public interest to their little community, such as births,
deaths, marriages, town meetings, grants of lands to settlers, <fec.,
<fec. In fact, notwithstanding exposure to scorching heats, biting
frosts, famine, disease and the barbarous cruelty of the savages,
their settlement had begun to prosper,— a fact which the set-
tlers were not slow to communicate to their friends and re-
lations across the Atlantic. The novelty of being landlords
instead of tenants, of being free from the impudent domination of
crown satraps, of making their own laws and worshiping God in a
manner most agreeable to their consciences, soon induced hundreds
to abandon Great Britain and hasten to join their kinsmen in the
New World. A stream of emijjjrants from the northern counties of
England pouretl into Boston, or found lodgement along the coast of
New England. Many of these began their weary tramps westward
towards the Connecticut. Among these were two brothers, Emanuel
and Henry Buck, then aged respectively twenty-three and twenty-
one years. The writer has spent much time in efforts to ascertain
their relationship to the English branches of the family, the exact
locality in England where they were born and reared, the immediate
cause which impelled them to leave England, the name of the vessel

26

in which they made the voyage, and their experiences and hardships
after arriving, knowing that all these things would excite the deepest
interest of their numerous descendants. Unfortunately, research
has thus far been in vain, records and traditions being alike want-
ing, and the writer most reluctantly, indeed, leaves the task for
others to undertake. What evidence there is, forces the conclusion
that Emanuel and Henry Buck were natives of Norfolk county,
England. Still, that evidence is not sufficiently strong to support a
positive assertion. The English Counties of Lincoln, Suffolk. Nor-
folk and York furnished the great bulk of the Massachusetts and
Connecticut settlers, and the similarity of the Christian names of
Emanuel (or Enoch) and Henry, and their descendants to those
Bucks who for centuries before resided, and ever since have resided
in Norfolk county, is striking.

It lias been said that these brothers first went to New London
This may be true, but they did not settle there, for according to
Trumbull and others, New London w^as not settled, nor was any
land granted to settlers there until the year after Emanuel and
Henry are mentioned by records as being at Wethersfield. More-
over, neither of their names appears in the list of original settlers
at New Loudon, all of whom becoming discouraged left that planta-
tion. Both Emanuel and Henry had mastered trades in England,
Emanuel that of a miller and Henry that of a blacksmith, and each
one of them plied his trade in conjunction with fanning during the
remainder of his days. Both had been reared to habits of in-
dustry, frugality and sobriety, from which habits they never de-
parted.

Emanuel Buck appears to have possessed a mercurial tempera-
ment, at times, even impetuous. In December, 1647, before he had
been six months at Wethersfield, he was summoned before the
"Particular Court" at Hartford, (in the jurisdiction of which
Wethersfield was), where he entered into a recognizance in the
penal sum of £10, to appear before tliat Court at its next regular
term. On March 1st following, the Court met and he was released
from his bond. What the nature of his offence was does not
appear, the bond not being in existence. In all probability
however, it was an inconsiderate act, the result of an effervescence
of temper, for at the same (March) term of the Court he was fined
10s. "for irregular speeches in court against one Robert Rose, when
he spoke upon his oath." This Robert Rose was a fellow-townsman

27

of Emaunel's, wlio had just been fined <£1 for a petty offence of some
kind, and it was at statements sworn to by Kose on his trial that
Emanuel became offended and transgressed the rules of the Hart-
ford Court etiquette. During this same year, Emanuel was em-
ployed by the "townsmen" to " burne the woods belonging to the
other ende of the town," an undertaking for the public benefit. In

1648 Emanuel, having married his first wife, Sarah , was

granted a home lot by the town of Wethersfield (by resolution), de-
scribed as "a piec^ of land containing two acres, more or less, which
" presents a triangle, the ends abutting west on the home lot which
" the town gave to Leonard Dix, coming to a point east of about the
" tliird post of Goodman Curtis' farm, the sides abutting against
" Thomas Curtis south and north on the road leading to Hartford."
On this " home lot" Emanuel erected the house in which he dwelt
for several years; but the town did not give him a deed for it
until November 27, 1G54. He labored hard and propspered.
On May 21, 1G57, the General Court of Election con-
vened at Hartford and admitted him to the privileges of a "Erae-

man." His wife, Sarah , died shortly after, leaving him the

care of three small children ; but in the spring of 1G58 he married

his second wife, Mary , who survived him, dying January 12

1712. On March 12, 1G59, he bought of Edward Scott (or Slot) two
and a half acres, abutting north on Eort street, south on the road
to Hartford, east on John Goodrich, Thomas Wright, the widow
Gibbtms and John Stoddard, and west on Robert Francis and
Thomas Standish. A 3^t^ar later, he and Michael Griswold, purchased
of John and Esther Burr thirteen acres of swamp and meadow land
which the Burrs got by the will of James Boosey. In 1G16 the
town granted him a triaugnlar piece of land, bounded north by the
High Hills ; and the same year he bougllt twelve acres on Rocky
Hill and a tract in the "Dry Swamp." In 1667 he bought the
Henry Palmer homestead. In 1669 he bought of John Woddoms a
house and three acres on the west side of the town, adjoining his
own "home lot." The same year, he drew a tract of land in an
allotment of town lands. In 1()80 the town granted him thirty acres
next his own lands, at the saw-mill in Westfarms (Newington), in
exchange for (^ne-half acre adjoining liis own lot, to be used for a
road. And in 1683-4 he and John Boreman and Joseph Reilly were
granted thirty acres for saw-mill purposes at Newington. Thus it
appears frcm the Wethersfield town records, and other documents.

28

that from 1649 to 1684 he had become the owner of considerably
land at Wethersfield, including a grist mill and one or more saw-
mills. There is no evidence that he took an active part in religious
affairs ; but it must be presumed that he did, for in those days of
Puritan strictness no man could hold any civil office, or serve as a
juror, unless he was closely identified with the church.

In the June term (1661) of the Hartford Qu;irters Court, he
served as a juror, and again at the September (1662) term, and at
the spring and fall (1675) terms. At the ensuing term he repre-
sented Wethersfield on the grand jury. In 1668 he was elected
constable of Wethersfield, and made and signed a list now on file in
the office of the Secretary of State at Hartford. lu 1669, he was
elected Selectman for Wethersfield, to which office he was several
times thereafter elected. All these offices he seems to have filled
with entire satisfaction. In 1673 one John Chester sued him in
trespass for cutting timber on Chester's land without leave. The
trial was set down for the September term of the Assistants' Court
at Hartford, before which time, however, the suit was compromised.
He died intestate about 1700, and such of his lands as he had not
sold, or deeded to his sons^ were divided between his sons. The
writer has made an exliaustive search, but without avail, to ascer-
tain the maiden names of his wives Sarah and Mary.

Neither marriage is recorded in any of the public records, or can
any of his descendants furnish the coveted information. It has been
asserted that the Enoch and Emanuel Buck mentioned contempo-
raneously, in the Wetliersfield and Hartford records, Avere two indi-
viduals. This is an error. The}- were the same person. Savage
says ; " the name of the same man is mentioned by both prefixes in
different places in the Wethersfield records." Hinman, evidentW
wishing to draw the same conclusion. Buys : " There is no other
Enoch Buck, than the one fined in Court in 1648, whose death or
marriage is not found at Wethersfield." Fortunately there is con-
clusive proof that "Emanuel "and "Enoch" was applied to the
same person, in the records of two ejectment suits which were insti-
tuted in 1684 by Lieut. Samuel Steele and Nathaniel Studley against
Enoch Buck and Michael Griswold, respectively, to obtain posses-
sion of a "piece of land lying in a place commonly called "Long
Eowe " or Wethersfield, Dry Swamp, together with damages for the
detention thereof. The lands in dispute formerly belonged to one

29

James Boosey, who, dying, devised them bj' will to Joseph Boosey
his eldest son, " on attaining the age of twenty-one years." Joseph
Boosey married and removed to Westchester County, N. Y., Avhere
he died before attaining twenty-one years. His widow thereafter
married one John Burr, who in 1660, conveyed part of these lauds
to Enoch Buck and the other to Michael Griswold, whereupon, the
wives of Steele and Studley, claiming that the title had never passed
to Joseph Boosey, for the reason that Joseph had never attained the
age of twenty-one, brought suit of ejectment iu the County Court to
recover the lands from Buck and Griswold. The County Court
decided for the plaintiffs with costs. Ou appeal the Court of Assis-
tants, an intermediate appellate Court, reversed the decision below,
and found for the defendants with costs of ajDpeal.

The case then went to the General Court of Hartford, on appeal.
That Court sustained the decision for Buck and Griswold with
costs. In May, 1686, on Motion, the General Court ordered that if
DO objection should be offered in the meantime, the Secretary
should issue execution to "Emanuel Buck and Michael Griswold in
the ensuing November, according to tlie judgments they respectively
obtained against Steele and Studley." The execution did issue as
ordered. These cases are reported at length in Vol. III. of the
Connecticut Colonial Records pp. 160, 199. The fact that the de-
fendant Buck, during the pendency of his suit, is mentioned by
both ])refixes, "Enoch and Emanuel," is conclusive, that the same
person was meant by both. It was iu 1681, during the pendency of
these suits, that Emanuel (or Enoch) Buck, deposed that li ewas
then 61 years of age which fixed 1623, as the year of his birth.

Henry Buck (2) brother of Emanuel (or Enoch), appears to have
been a man of quiet deportment, solid moral character and sober
and industrious in his habits. He is first mentioned in 1658, when
the town of Wethersfield granteil him lands, on which to erect a
blacksmith shop, which was probably the first shop of the kind
erected in Wethersfield. In 1661, he bought a lot on the west side
of High street. In 1675, he bought the Theophilus Sherman home-
stead, on the east side of High street, at the north end. He con-
ducted the labor of his farm, while by the aid of apprentices labor,
he prosecuted his trade, and so prospered, that he became as the
saying goes, " well off." In 1673, he was plaintiff in a case against
Joseph Green's estate, in an action of debt on book account and re-
covered a judgment for £8, 19s. 7d, with costs. In 1667-8, he was

30

elected constable of Wetliersfield, and in 1667, he likewise filled
the responsible office of Deputy for "Wetliersfield. In 1669, he was
made a "Freeman " of the village. He married Oct. 31, 1660, Eliza-
beth Churchill, a lad}' of honorable lineage, born in 1629. She sur-
vived her husband only a short time. He died July 7, 1712, aged
86, which shows him to have been born in 1626.

According to Hinmau ("Puritan Settlers," p. 367), a John Buck,
settled at Wetliersfield and m. Deborah Hewes, of Guilford, Conn.,
(probably) Oct. 10, 1665. He had a son Thomas (b. about 1666),
who on May 12, 1709, m. Sarah Jndd, of Farmiugton or Hartford,
and had issue, I, Sarah, b. Jan. 19, 1710; II, Thomas, b. Sept. 6,
1712 ; III, Mary, b. Nov. 5, 1715 ; IV, Ebenezer, b. Nov 11, 1717 ;
and John, b. March 24, 1722, who died the same year (Hinnian's
Puritan Settlers, p. 367). The younger Thomas is said to have had
lands at Middletown, as early as May, 1671, (14 N. E. Gen'l and
Hist Regr. 64). He died soon after, and his widow, Hannah, m. (2)
1667, one Joseph Baker, (b. Jniie 16, 1655), by whom she had chil-
dren, I, Joseph, b. April 13, 1678, and II, Lydia, b. July 5, 1681.
They are put down as being at Windsor (5 N. E. Gen'l and Hist
Regr. 65). This Thomas was either a brother or cousin of Emanuel
and Henry.

The eight children of Henry Buck (2) and Elizabeth Churchill,

born at Wethersfield, Conn., were :

(23) ,Heury, b. 1662. (27) Mary, b. Marcli 12, 1673.

(24) Samuel, b. Feb. 2, 1664. (28) Sarah, b. July 25, 1678.

(25) Martha, b. Oct, 15, 1667. (29) Euth, b. Dec. 4, 1681.

(26) Elizabeth, b. June 6, in70. (30) Mehitable, b. Jan. 4, 1684.

Of these eight children Henry Buck (23) removed to Fairfield;
Salem County, N. J., about 1692, in company with Connecticut
settlers, who located in Fenwick's Colony, where he married
Rachel . Their descendants scattered over New Jersey, Penn-

35

sylvania and Delaware. Sliourds, in his "History and Genealogy
of Feuwick's Colony," says that Henry " became one of the leading
men in Fenwick's Colony, as the records of Salem fully confirm."
In partnership with one Eichard Whitacar, a Quaker, he opened a
store in "New England Town." The firm, as appears by one of
tlieir account books (now in the possession of Caroline Whitacar, a
descendant of Richard Whitacar), must have done an extensive
business, besides owning a sloop which traded as a regular packet
between Cohansey and Boston. The first entries in this book
are dated in 1704, but the firm must have been in ex-
istence long before that time. Henry was elected a Justice
of tiie Peace and served as foreman on the Grand Jurv of Salem
Countv in 1707; Besides holdinfij the office of Overseer of the High-
ways for South Cohansey precinct, he filled several other public offices
of trust and confidence, all of which proves him to have been a
representative man of the Colony. He died in 1726, leaving
a large estate, including several negro slaves. His will, dated
Feb. 9, 1726, was recorded in Liber 2, page 326 of Trenton
V: wills. His children were: I, Henry; II, Epliraim ; III, Jere-
miah ; IV, Dayton; and V, Judith. Samuel Buck, (21:) second son of
Henry Buck, and Elizabeth Churchill, remained in Connecticut,
where he married, January 23, 1690, Sarah, daughter of Deacon
Samuel Butler. He died April 3, 1709, leaving issue.

Ezekiel Buck (3), the eldest son of Emanuel (or Enocb) Buck (1),
died March 3, 1713, aged 63. He married, March 18, 1675, Rachel
Andrews, whose father, John Andrews, was one of the earliest set-
tlers at Farinington, Conn. Rachel Andrews, wife of Ezekiel Buck

40

(3), was boru in 1652, and survived lier husband. The date of her
death does not appear. Ezekiel (3) was a farmer, except when
serving in the militia, an occupation for which he seems to have
had a peculiarly strong taste. By purchase, or otherwise, he be-
came the owner of the greater part of Ins father's lands. In 1682,
he seems to have become discontented, and to have determined to
leave Wethersfield. To that eud, he petitioned the General Court
for permission to erect a plantation in the Wabaguassat country ;
but the General Court thought it was doubtful whether that coun-
try was within the Connecticut Colon}', and denied the petition [2
Conn. CoL Eec. p. 99). In 1698, he became one of the original pur-
chasers and proprietors of the Duiham Grant. In 1712, just before
his death, he and his sons and others, petitioned the town authori-
ties of Wethersfield, to be set off by themselves, as a new parish, or
society, which petition was granted; and the new society took the
name of Newington. He died possessed of a large estate, both per-
sonal and landed, as appears by the inventory thereof, as filed by
his son Enoch (Lib. 8, p. 217, Hartford Probate Eecords).

In the Name of God, Amen, the Second day of March, 1713, I,

Andrews, married, January 13, 1698, Sarah, daughter of .)ohu Ben-
son, of Farming-ton, Ct., who was born in 1679. Ezekiel (32) was a
farmer, but seems to have been one of the unfortunate kind. The
town records of Wethersfield contain an order relating to him,
under date of July 14, 1715 :

" Voted by the townsmen, that whereas Ezekiel Buck has a long
" time been under infirmities of body, and has put himself into the
j" hands of a physician, for a cure, and has not wherewith to answer
' the charge, It is voted, that the selectmen, for the time being
" shall supply him with a sufficiency of money, or what is needful
" in his necessity, in order to his obtaining of a cure of his infirm-
" ity." He died soon after the entry of this order, leaving issue —
(43) Ezehel, b. March 5, 1699, and (44) Sarah, b. Feby. 8, 1701, of
the fourth generation.

Milford, where, on December 5 he married Lydia, daughter of Sam-
uel Brownsou, who \vas born February 23, 1702, and died January 3,
1768. At New Milford, Ezekiel purchased a " right " near the falls,

43

aud became a farmer. He was active in town matters, and lield
several offices, among them tliat of Pound-keeper, in 1734. He
joined the first chnrch at New Milford, in 1727. He contributed
largely to the building of the new schoolhouse for the Lanesville
District, in 1727. He died May 10, 1745, bequeathing his property
to his children, who subsequently sold it to Lazarus Ruggles,
Sr., who erected extensive iron works on it. Ezekiel's will is filed

New Milford. He was a farmer residing at New Milford, and was
a man of means. His children were : Miriam, born Dec. 10, 1758;

In his old age lie was injuied by tlie falling of a tree from wliich he

Mercy, dr. of Rebecca Buck and Simeon Baldwin, (died unmarried)
She was for more than thirty years a teacher and was in many re-
spects a peculiar woman. She was given to writing books. Among
the writings she left behind were a list (in pamphlet form) of the
names of all the scholars, who had attended lier schools, and a small
E'lglish Grammar, for the use of schools. She was universally es-
teemed. She died December 4, 1835. In the introduction to her
pamphlet containing tlie list aforesaid, she states: — "I commenced to
"teach in February, 1788, and have taught both Summer and "Winter?
'each successive season, with the exception of one Summer. I have
" taught in Thirty-five different neighborhoods, in New Milford,
"Washington, Roxbury, Woodbury, Sherman, and Wilton, in Con-
"necticut, and in Pawling, N. Y. I have taught 1803 different schol-
"ars. Fifty-nine couples who have been my pupils, have
"been married together, and perhaps, many more of whom
" I have no knowledge. All the children of Seventy-three
" different families, have been my pupils. I have had 107 scholars?
" that one or both of the parents, have been under my tuition. I have
" had 107 scholars the descendants of one family. In one instance
"I have taught Grandfather, children, and grand-children." This
she wrote, and published in 1826, while still teaching. (See Genea-
logy of Giddings Family.)

hachel Buck (33), daughter of Ezekiel Buck (3) and Rachel
Andrews, married, in 1697, John Brownson, eldest son of John
Brownson, of Farmington, Ct. He was born Aug 25, 1665. Rachel
died in 1708, and her husband married (2) in 1709, Mary Chatterton,
of New Haven, Ct. He removed from W^ethersfield to South
Carolina shortly after his second marriage. Rachel's issue by him

45

were John, b. in 1698 ; Mary, 1j. in 1700, m. Ford, and Sarah,

b. in 1708, m. McGregor. These all removed with their father

to South Carolina.

Jonathan Buck (34), son of Ezekiel Buck (3) and Kachel Andrews,
married March 4, 1700, Mary Andrews. With his brother Enoch
and others, he removed to New Milford in 1715, having previously
(June 9, 1715) purchased of Daniel Boardraan certain property
rights in the New Milford grant, on both sides of the Housatonic
River. The first was on Aspetuck Hill, next north of the Parsonage
lot, on the east side of the street known as Poplar Highway. This
lie called his " home lot" and on it built his residence, which was
on Pophir street, a little north of the present residence of Mr.
William D. Black. This he eventually sold to his brother Enoch
and built on the second tract, which was ten acres, adjoining his
"home lot." The third lot was forty acres on the plain west of the
river. He brought with him several children and several
more were added to his family after his arrival at
New Milford. Soon after his arrival, to wit, 1718, he
joined the First New Milford Church. His wife joined
it three years later. He seems to have been refractory in church
discipline, and for that reason, was suspended a few years later.
He was, liowever, restored in 1735. He followed the occupation of
a farmer, but was active in public matters, holding town offices, and
contributing liberally to all town improvements. When it was pro-
posed to make the ''North Purchase," and enlarge the towushij),
he became one of the proprietaries therein, and in various other
ways contributed to the advancement of the settlement, assisting to
build the school house. His children were — Ebenezer, born about
1701 (one of the North Purchase proprietors) ; Ilu^h, born about
1702; L//f7/Vr, born about 1704 ; SarnJi, born about 1706; Jonathan,
born about 1708 ; Moses, born about 1710; Joseph, born about 1712;
Comfort, born April 19, 1717 ; Aaron, born Jan. 20, 1720 ; Thnnk/id,
born Ai)ril 30, 1723; Martin and Timothy, born Oct. 27, 1725.

Ruth, dauglit^r of Jonathan Buck (34) and Mary Andrews, mar-
ried June 7, 1721, Nathan Terrill, of Old Milford, Conn. Terrill
came to New Milford, a young man, the year prior to his marriage.
His father, John Terrill, gave him a "right" of land in New Mil-
ford, and his " home lot " and ten acres were located in Park Lane,
on wdiicli, for a time, he resided. He was a farmer. Their children
were : BaiuJ, b. April 22, 1723 ; Buth, b. Nov. 22. 1724 ; Daniel, b.

the First Church in New Milford. in 1734, and his wife in 1735. At
an early age, he bad been apprenticed to the trade of a Copper
Smith, under Benjamin Bunnell, of Old Milford. Here he remained
until 1728, when he came to New Milford, and applied to the vil-
lagers, to set him up in his trade. Several of the New Milford
people, including his father and his Uncle Enoch, interested them-
selves in his behalf, and started a subscription, which netted a hand-
some sum, and which was turned over to him. He began his trade
and prospered. In 1730, he bought 10 acres of laud, on the East side
of the East branch of the Aspetuck, and soon after bought 22 acres
more, near it. He was quite prominent in his day. In 1750, he re-
fused to conform to the somewhat arbitrary rules of conduct of
the First New Milford Congregation, and for absenting himself
from the meetings thereof, he and his wife, in September of that
year, were cited to appear before the Church authorities, and give
their reasons. They duly appeared and stated their reasons, one of
which was that they did not believe in the Saybrook platform.
This was not deemed satisfactory, and time to make further answer
was given them. Not appearing they were admcniished. They
then assisted in forming the separate Congregational Church, of
which they became members. They had issue : Phebe, b. March 18,
1734 ; Lois, b. June 5, 1736 ; Betttj, b. Jan. 26, 1740 ; Zervia, b. Sept.

Fourth Geneeation.
Issue of Enoch Buck (37) and Mary Beebe.

In 1707, the whole of the territory bordering on the Honsatonic
River, now withm the limits of Litchfield County, Conn., was an un-
broken wilderness, untrodden save by savage beasts of prey and
still more savage red men.

It is true, that for half a century, at least, before that date,
there had been a footpath from Hartford to Farmington, and
thence to the straggling, infant settlement of "Woodbury, on the
Naugatuc ; but from the latter places, we'stward and northward, no
foot of white man had yet pressed the virgin soil, or disturbed the
grim wilderness of the deuselj^ timbered hills and valleys. Naught
but the uncertain trail of the bloodthirsty savage, marred the com-
plete naturalness of the country.

Previous to 1700, several abortive efforts had been made to estab-
lish a colony on the northern Housatonic. As early as 1670, the
Colonial Court had granted the privilege to Nathan Gould and John
Burr, of purchasing the countr}- from the savages, and clearing a
plantation thereon, "if it should be capable of such a result " and
a committee was appointed by the same authorit}^ to consider the
feasibility of the project.

Under this privilege, a grant of 26,000 acres of land on both sides
of the Housatonic, was procured, but no one was found bold enough
to explore it, much less to undertake the extremely hazardous task
of effectinsj a settlemeht on it, and so the scheme fell throuoh. Five
years later, a spasmodic effort was made to the same end, which
likewise failed by lack of persons willing to risk their lives among
the treacherous natives.

In 1678 Colonel Robert Treat and others, obtained from the
General Court "liberty to view and buy convenient lands for a
plantation," to the westward of the New Haven and Hartford settle-
ments; but for some unexplained reason, these gentlemen made no
purchase, probabl}^ owing to difficulty in obtaining a proper title
from the Indian owners of the soil. It was not until February 8,
1702, that a company of 109 individuals at Old Milford, on Long
Island Sound, secured from the native chiefs a deed of the terri-
tor}' now comprising the southern part of New Milford Tow^nship.

51

Even then the Indian title was found to be defective, and was not
made good until August 29, 1705, by a new deed from the Indians,
in which however, tlie latter reserved the right to fish in the waters
within the grant, a right which has not yet been yielded to the
pale faces.

The Legislative title to this laud, or })lantation, Avas granted by
the General Court, O^t. 22, 1703. Tha sarna was divided into 104:
parts or shares, and the payment of Twenty-four shillings secured
one share, or "right," which right, was assignable; and it was
agreed, that those first actuall}^ settling, should draw lots, and take
their lots, together with liberty to begin where they pleased, and
that those who should afterwards settle, either by themselves or
their assigns, should take their lots as they should come to settle,
next lot to him that went before him, and so on. The "home" or
"town lots" were twenty-one rods wide, and sixty rods long, while
the " meadow lots " and "farm lots" varied in area. Fully two-
thirds of these " rights," were sold by the original owners, long be-
fore any attempt was made to found a settlement. On the 22d day
of June 1706, John Noble, of Westfield, Mass., being then about
forty years of age, and the father of Eleven children, purchased one
of these " rights." Early the following Spring, accompanied by his
little daughter, Sarah, — then about nine years old, he tramped
through the forest, all the way from Westfield, Mass., to the Housa-
tonic, to explore his purchase. These are said to have been the
first white persons, who ever trod the soil of New Milford Town-
ship. This daughter afterwards became the first "School Marni "
of the New settlement, and the wife of Titus Hinman of Woodbury.

John Noble was certainly a brave and resolute man, thus to ven-
ture into the trackless wilderness, at the risk of his own life and
that of his child. Arriving in the vicinity of the present New Mil-
ford, the fatlier built a hut of ]>alisades, to protect him and his little
companion from the attacks of the wild beasts and red men. The
plucky little girl acted as chef d cuiiine and performed such other
matronly duties, as the circumstances would permit, Avhile the stal-
wart father, selecting a building site, began to fell the giants of the
for st, and let in tlie light of the sun. In this occupation he was
joined by his sou, John, Jr, the following summer, (the latter having
purclnised a right in the tract) and the two, that summer, built a
log-hut on the site of the present residence of Col. James D. Bliner
on the east side of the river. L itt-r, they were joined by the other
members of tho familv.

52

In the Spring of 1708, several other settlers, including the Bost-
wicks and Bronsons, came with their families, and pitched their
abodes near that of the pioneers. In 1711, twelve "right'
owners, with their families, numbering in all some 70 souls,
had added their presence to the settlement, and built log
huts near the river. The following 3'ear, the town of New Milford
was organized, and a Minister called. The capital of the settlers
was limited; but fortunately^ the conveniences for obtaining the
necessary food and comforts of life, were peculiarly favorable.
Although the soil was ha.rd to clear, it was exceedingly fertile
and productive. Game in great variety was plentiful. One terror
only, filled the minds of the busy settlers,—the spectre of Indian
outrages, — for, although the native Indian tribes were in the main
friendly, they, in common with the whites, lived in continual dread
of the adjoining tribes, allies of the French, who committed fre-
quent depredations. In 1713, a township was created, and town
officers elected. In the spring of 1714, two or three families from
Wethersfield, neighbors of- the Bucks, joined the settlers.

Ezehcl Buck (3j, as we have seen, died at Wethersfield that year.
His two sous, Joiiathdii and Enoch, were then aged respectively 35
and 32. Jonathan had a wife a)id three or four children : Enoch
was unmarried. They had heard of the progress of the infant set-
tlement at New Milford, from the families who had gone there, and
soon after the death of their father, had determined on locating
there. To that end, early in January, 1715, they sold the land de-
vised to them by their father, and on February 21, 1715, Enoch
Bud- bought of Joseph Peck, of Old Milford, for £20, a
" right " in the New Milford plantation. Soon after,
in company with his brother Jonathan, on horseback,
loaded with packs of goods, he set out for the new
Colony, where the party arrived in due time, and where Enoch
began work at the carpeiiter's trade. On February 27th, 1716, he
bought of Thomas Waller another lot in the " Indian Field," west
of the river. After this, from time to time, he purchased several
other lots, and finally, in 1719, bought his brother Jonathan's home-,
stead lot, on the west side of Poplar street, in the village, a little
way north of the present residence of Mr. Wm. D. Black, where he
took up his residence.

During his t^vo years stay in the settlement, he had not been idle.
His labor was in great demand, and he did not fail to profit by it,

53

Samuel Beehe, who settled at Old Milford in 1712, went tlie next
year, with his wife and five children, to Daubnrj, and thence to the
New Milford settlement. He did not purchase lands there, it
seems, but remained there until 1727. During this time, he ex-
hibited great activity and business capacity, took prominent part in
town affairs and held several town offices. His eldest daughter,
3Iarj/, — being a bright, active and intelligent damsel, — soon at-
tracted the attention and won the affections of Enoch Buck.
This circumstance resulted in a marriage between them, in 1717.
The union was a long and happy one, blessed with eleven children,
as hereinafter stated.

In 1710, twenty-three families had permanently located in the New
Settlement. Many more had settled there, but had removed, or
died.

Enoch Buck was the peer of any of that sturdy band of pioneers.
Naturally he was conservative ; and when economy was to be prac-
ticed in public matters, he depvicated undue haste, and counseled
moderation ; but when the public g(iod clearly demanded sacrifices,
he would earnestl}^ advocate making them.

Thus, in 1719, when certain of his neighbors protested against
supporting a minister with a large family, because the necessary
tax would reach " more than ten pence to the pound upon the rate-
able estates " of the twenty-three families, " who were mostly low
in the world," and " slow in growth," and would require the build-
ing of a church, he advocated, that keeping the minister was a pub-
lic necessity ; and so the minister was retained and the church built
in 1720.

Enoch and his wife, Mary, both joined it and remained active
workers therein, until their deaths. He was truly a public spirited
man. When in 1723, the town needed the service of a blacksmith,
but the people thought themselves too poor to set one up in busi-
ness, Enoch Buck deeded the poor mechanic a quantity of land for
a home and shop lot, and otherwise contributed to setting up the
smith in business. He also contributed to set up a copper smith in
the village.

He was always one of the. foremost in religious and educational
projects. In 1715 he assisted to establish a school house near the
" iron works," one of the first established in that section of the
township. He was one of the 64 persons who in 1722 procured for
New Milford from William Whiting and others, what is known as

54

the " north purchase," whicli made New Milford township tlie
largest in the State. In matters purely social, he seems always to
have borne well his part. At his trade (tliat of a carpenter) he was
an expert, and liis services were in great demand witli his neigh-
bors. Id 1729 Daniel Boardman perhaps the wealthiest person in
the settlement, " in consideration of liis setting up and covering a
" lean to my dwelling, and being performed to my full satisfac-
" tion," deeded Enoch Buck, carpenter, seven acres of land.

Enoch Buck left no will, but before his death, divided his lands
by deed among his children. I have been unable to ascertain either
the dates of the respective deaths of him and his wife, Mary, or the
resting place of their ashes. They must have died between 1740
and 1750. No stones mark their last resting place. Pioneers of
civilization and the progenitors of a Mighty host, they have slept
for more than a century beneath the soil on which they began the
struggle against barbarism, cruelty and ignorance, which sti'uggle
at no distant day will make the American Republic the representa-
tive of all that is wisest and best for the interests of the human
race. The issue of Enoch Buck (3^) and Blary Beebe were :
(53) Ebenzer, b. Juny., 1718. (54) Grace, b. Jauy. 22, 1719.

settled in the Wyoming Valley, Pa. In that settlement he seems to
have been a leading spirit. He served as a grand juror of the
Kingston settlement in 1774. He is said to have been slain in one
of the Indian attacks. His name is not mentioned after 1775. Be-
sides his son Abel, born July 12, 1745, and daughter Mary, born
November 2, 1746, at New Milford, William is said to have had

Remarks Upon James Buck (58) and Elizabeth Sherman.

Of James Buck (58), the sixth child of Euock Buch (37) and Mary
Beebe, it has, unfortunately, to be said that all those who knew him
face to face have long since joined the great majority, and the pub-
lic and private records furnish but meagre data from which to com-
pile a satisfactory sketch of him. It has been said that he took
part in the French and English wars. However that may be, it is
certain that when the struggle between England and the Colonies
br(jke out he entered the Connecticut militia and was appointed
captain of a company, and that he did good service in the Colonial

58

cause, participating in several battles and skirmishes, particularly
in tlie affair at Horse Neck. Ever afterwards lie was honorably
known as "Captain James." He purchased lands on Long Moun-
tain, about four miles northeast of New Milford, where his wife also
owned a considerable tract of Lmd which she had inherited from
her father.

Subsequently, he purchased a quantity of meadow land, and also
a right, in the township of New Milford, from Mary Cashing. In
time, he became, as men in a worldly sense were then measured,
" well to do in the world." On a portion of his Long Mountain
property, he built his family residence and outbuildings. Later, he
built a small shop and store, over the counter of which, in addition
to the farming and weaving business (both of which he carried on),
he supplied the neighboring farmers with the more common neces-
saries of life. Here he lived, and reared his large family, and here
he died. These buildings have long since crumbled into dust ; but
their site is still plainly indicated by the old cellar, and well (the
latter still in a good state of preservation), opposite the residence
of Edson P. Hill, Esq., on the Long Mountain road.

It does not appear that he held town offices, or had any political
aspirations. He was, in a true sense, however, a public spirited
man, He actively interested himself in the cause- of education,
and assisted in establishing tiie first school in his neighborhood.
Both he and his wife were active and influential members of the
New Milford Church, in the cemeter}^ connected with which, their
remains repose side by side. James Buck was a man of iron con-
stitution and possessed great firmness of character. For honesty,
integrity, fair dealing and all those virtues, which go to make up a
truly Cljristian man, his life and character stand without a blot, and
above a shadow of reproach. He was affectionate to his family,
and generous to his neighbors and the jjoor. He lived a quiet, un-
ostentatious, but eminently honorable and useful life, and died in
the faith of his Puritan forefathers. He was a great sufferer from
the inhumanity of the British, they having poisoned the waters,
which caused him to be affected with spasms till his death. His
wife Mary, who had been in attendance on him, suddenly sickened
and died ten days before him.

Hisi hist Will and Testament, was executed a few days before his
death, was duly proved by his executors and admitted to probate
by Judge Daniel Everett, Probate Judge of New Milford District,

59

February 20, 1793. The testator's lands were appraised at £147
6s. Od. and his personal property at X258 8s. lOd. This will is, in
many respects, a peculiar one. In the hope that curious readers
in possession of facts or documents which I have uotbeen able to ob-
tain, may find in it matter of interest to them which may assist them
in making further investi^^ations of the subject, I have thus briefly
touched upon, I here insert a copy of it : —

Joel Turrell,

EUzahetli Sherman, wife of James Buck (58), was descended from
a very ancient and aristocratic English family, extending back many
generations.

The family coat of arms is thus described by Cothron (History of

Fifth Generation.

The C/iildren of James Buck (and Elizabeth Sherman, all horn at New
3Iilford, Litchfield Co., Conn.,) loere : —

(64) EUTH BUCK, born Dec. 28, 1749, d. near New Milford,
Conn., Jan. 20, 1830. She never married. The duty early devolved
upon her, of assisting her mother in the cares of a hirge and
necessitous household ; a duty, wliicli for nearly half a C3ntury, she
faithfully and affectionately performed. Throughout the dark days
of the War against the French and Indians, and the still darker
days of the Ilevoluti(jnary struggle, when her father and brothers
were absent, battling for their Country, her wise counsels and her
kind and fostering care over her younger brothers and sisters, were
of inestimable value to the latter, and remembered by them all with
gratitude, later in life. She was a modest, unassuming lad}^ whose
tastes were purely domestic. All her brothers and sisters, except
Salmon and Jerusha, had married early in life, and had their own
families to support and their own pathways to clear. Her father,
for years, had been an invalid, the result of drinking water poisoned
by the British during the War, from the effects of which
he died. Her sister Jerusha, alone remained with her, to
aid in clieering the last hoars of their aged parents. To Jerusha,
she became greatly attached. For her kindness, benevolence,
and piety, she was universally esteemed by the community for miles
around, in which she came to befamiharly known as " Aunt Ruth, "

64

For many years before lier death, she resided with her sister
Jernsha. It was her custom to trade at the store of Levi S. Kuapp,
Esq., at New Milford. This gentleraau, now hale and hearty, and
ap;ed eighty-eight, distinctly remembers "Aunt Euth " and recently
spoke of her to the writer in terms of the highest respect. In com-
mon with most persons who pass a life of single blessedness, she
was in some ways eccentric.

An instance of this, was her peculiar request, that when she
died, a plain stone, without inscription of any kind, sliould be
placed at the head of her grave. This request was executed. She
sleeps beside her beloved sister Jerusha (Sandford), in the Cemetery
at Gaylordsville, near New Milford, and only a rude marble slab,
discolored by time, indicates her last resting place.

(65.) SAMUEL BEEBE BUCK, b. Sept. 21, 1751, d. Mar. 26,
1834, m. Aug. 31, 1775, Hannah Fairchild, b. Feby. 20, 1753, d.
Sept. 26, 1825. Husband was a farmer residing at New Preston.
Litchfield County, Conn. He was Twenty-five years of age
when he married Hannah Fairchild. He inherited the vigor-
ous constitution and character of his father. He was, at this
time, an experienced farmer, and a man in other res]iects as well
informed perhaps, as the educational opportunities of the time
could produce. He is said to have possessed a great affaction for
the "root of all evil," and to have preferred his own pecuniary
interests, to those of his neighbors; but this assertion lacks
necessary confirmation. It is probably the venom of envy.

Soon after his marriage the war cloud of tlie Revolution ()ver-
shadowed Connecticut, and he volunteered with his father and
brothers, to protect his State from the red-coats. He is spoken
of as having been honest in his dealings, which could hardly have
been if the weakness of money love was humored as in these da^^s.

He early joined the Presbyterian Church, and became prominent
in its service and councils. He was rated as ''Second " among six
grades of pew holders, who were seated by age and station in life.
In 1802, he was assessed on $1,228 for church purposes. After che
war he pursued his vocation as a farmer, for a few years, on Long
Mountain, on lands deeded to him by his father, but becoming
dissatisfied, purchased a farm, and settled in the New Preston So-
ciety, where he joined the New Preston Church, an ecclesiastical
off-shoot of the Ncav Milford Society, which had been established
as esrlj'^ as 1745. In this, he soon rose to the official dignity of

65

deacon, the duties of which office, he faithfully and creditably
performed for many years. He was always a patron
of education, and was one of the original subscribers to and
founders of the New Milford Union Library. He was a man hon-
ored and respected throughout a large section. His remains and
those of his wife repose in upper Merrvall Cemetery. His wife,
Hannah Fairchild, was of a respectable English family, being de-
scended from Abram Fairchild, who emigrated to Stratford, Con-
necticut, from Stratford, in Stratford, England, and was among the
earliest settlers at Stratford.

(66) MEHITABLE BUCK, b. December 6, 1753, d. March 27,
1796; m. 1788, Samuel Gregory, b. 1742; d. February 31, 1800.
Husband was a respectable farmer, residing at New Milford, Litch-
field County, (/onn. Mrs. Gregory died there, after only six years
of married life. Her husband survived her only four years, and
did not re-marry. Their graves are side by side, in the Old New
Milford Cemetery, near those of James Buck and his wife Elizabeth.

The writer has diligently enquired, and searched for something
of interest concerning their characters and lives, but has not been
able to find anything worth noting.

(67) J08IAH BUCK, b. Jan. 25, 1756, d. at or near New Mil-
ford, Conn., July 13, 1813; m. 1780, Mary Towner, b. in 1758, d.
near Rome, N. Y., in 1803. He served five 3-ears as a soldier in the
Patriot iVrmy, during the War for Independence, reaching the grade
of Lieutenant. As such, he was appointed Forage Master, a posi-
tion of great responsibility and danger, but which he filled with
credit to himself and the cause. While discharging the duties of
this last office, he was compelled to undergo long periods of ex-
posure, wljic-h undermined a str<mg and vigorous constitution, made
iiiin a cripple, during his last years on earth, and finally terminated
his life. After his marriage, he settled on a farm at Sherman, where
he resided many years. Both he and his wife, however, as appears
by the records of the New Milford Congregational Church, Avere
members and regular Communicants of that Church. He owned a
pew there, near that of his brother Asaph's, which was in 1802
rated as " Third Class." He was assessed on $733.50. In 1803 he
moved with his family to Oneida County, N. Y., locating near Rome.
His wife dying shortly afterwards, and his children marrying and
Settling down there, he returned to New Milford, where he died in-
testate in 1813. His daughter Philomela was appointed his Ad-

66

ministratrix, and valued Ms personal estate at $145.43. His wife,
Mary Towner, was a woman of exemplary cliaracter, industry and
piety. She died suddenly, deeply lamented by n large circle of
relatives and friends. Her remains rest in a cemetery, five miles
south of Eome, N. Y. Loving hands caused to be chiseled on her
grave-stone the lines : —

"Blessed be her memory, ever blest,"
"Thej' loved ber most that knew her best."

She was tlie second daughter of Captain Daniel Towner, who was
the third son of Samuel Towner, an Englishman, who with his
family of four sons and three daughters (it is supposed came from
England) settled about 1715 in Ehode Island. Thence Captain
Towner removed to New Fairfield, Litchfield County, Conn., where
he married Martha Barnes, and liad six children, viz: —

Marcus, killed by being thrown from a horse, aged 12.

Daniel, killed by a falling tree; aged 25.

Sirus, died of consumption, aged 27.

His three daughters, all married, died at middle age of consump-
tion. He served as Captain of Militia during the whole of the
Revolutionary War, and was among the sufferers by poisoned water,
at Horse Neck, (the British having poisoned the wells and springs,
from which many died). For a long time his recovery was doubt-
ful. His wife watched over him during his long illness, and it was
owing to her care, that he recovered. He afterwards died ol" con-
sumption.

(68.) JERUSHA BUCK, b. Mar. 1, 1758, d. Feb. 16, 1855, m. m
1793. Ebeuzer Sauford (son of Ebenzer Sauford of Newtown, Conn.)
b. Dec. 14, 1749, d. Mar. 29, 1822. Husband was a farmer, residing
at New Milford, Litchfield County, Conn. Both buried in the
Cemetery at Gaylordsville, Litchfield County, Conn.

Not until she had seen the grave close over both of her parents,
did Jerusha Buck once entertain the thought of leaving those whom
she had so dearly loved, and so faithfully served. But paternal
dut}' and service were at an end; she had now passel h^^r thirty-
fifth year, — a time in life when mere looks, cannot catch a husband.
From the example and advice of her eldar sister Rath, to whom she
was greatly attached, she had profited much, and bv practice had
become an experienced house-keeper. Nor was this all. She is
described at this time as possessing in a high degree those quali-
ties of mind, heart and disposition which always render a woman
companionable.

67

Ebenezer Sandford, an active, energetic, well-bred youug mauwitli
some means, had about this time arrived at New Milford from New-
town, Conn., seeking a place on which to settle down for life. He
was descended from Thomas De Sandford, who came over to Eng-
land from Normandy, wdth "William the Conqueror" as appears
by an entry on the Roll in "Battle Abbey," bearing date Oct. 14,
1066. A descendant of this Thomas Sandford (also named Thomas),
emigrated to Boston, Mass., in 1631, subsequently removed to Old
Millford, Conn., and died there in 1681. Ebenezer was the latter's
great-grand-sou. On bis advent in the New Milford settlement, he
was not long in discovering in Miss Jerusha Buck, such a character
and person, as would make a help meet, suitable for the most dig-
nified of his sex, and after a brief courtship, the couple were mar-
ried.

They removed to, and located in the Merryall District ; but a few
years afterwards, pitched upon, perhaps the richest tract in New
Milford Town, (m the West bank of the winding Housatonic, just
below what is called the " Straits," where they resided the remain-
der of their days.

On this farm, is a deep cavern called in those days the " Tory
Hole," from the fact tliat King George's friends were in the habit
of secreting themselves therein, from the wrath of the patriots and
furnishing supplies to the Boyalist forces. Mr. Sanford was a man
of exemplary character and habits, noted for his piety, patriotism
and industry. He was a great walker, and would sekh^n ride. He
was was m the habit of walking to the Village of New Milford, five
or six miles to attend service in the Episcopal Church, of which he
was an active membe'r. It is related of him, that on a bitter
cold d;.y in Winter, the family Avere riding to Church, when
thev overtook and persuaded him to ride. He had not been in the
sleigh hnig, before a liaril ball of snow from one of the horse's feet,
struck him ])lumb in the face. He at once made an excuse to get
out, and no amount of persuasion could induce him to ride again that
winter. The following from an obituary notice i)ublishad at the
time of Jerusha's death, will be of imterc^st to the family. " The
" deceased early made a ])ublic profession of her faith in Christ, and
" was ;i mt-mber of the First Congregation Church of New Milford,
" during nearly 80 years. During all her extended life she possessed
"remarkable health and vigor ot constitution. But a few hours
"previous to her tleatli, the family requested her to have a physi-

68

cian, but she strouoly objected, saying that she had never had the
advice of a doctor for sickness, and was unwilling, then, to com-
mence. She evinced her readiness to go, at the call of the
Master. On being asked, when near her end, if she still felt as
she had uniformly done, ready and willing to die, she answered
with much animation, " Yes — Yes" — which were her last words.
The influence of her pious and exemplary life, will be long
cherished in the remembrance of all who knew lier. She was the
last survivor of ten children, all but one, of whom, lived to
a good old age, leaving a good hope that it is well with
them. Up to her last days she exhibited a distinct re-
collection and warm interest, in the scen(^s and events
of the Revolutionary War, in which three of her brothers were
engaged. She breathed the same patriotic spirit till tha last. She
was often referred to by those applying for pensions, for the ser-
vices of husbands, fathers and grandfathers. About a year be-
fore her death, a gentleman called to ascertain if she knew any-
thing respecting his grandfather's services in the War. She
needed no time for reflection, bat immediately replied that in her
younger days slie was a weaver, and at one time had just com-
menced a piece of tow cloth, when his grandfather, one evening,
received notice that he must set out next morningj, As he was a
neighbor, he called unreservedly on her father for assistance. He
had no shirt to wear, and she immediately cut her piece of tow
cloth out of the loom, and made the garment by morning, when
he started for the army wearing it on his back."

Elizabeth Buck was a woman of cheerful disposition, in active
sympathy with every good work, particularly that of a religious or
charitable nature. She was, from early youth, a member of the
First Congregational Church at New Milford, and greatly esteemed
for her piety. The testimonial of those who knew and loved her is
thus expressed upon her tomb-stone: "Precious in the sight of the
Lord is the death of His saints."

Daniel Turrill was one of the earliest settlers at Old Milford,
Connecticut. He was descended from a very ancient and honorable
family in England, who spelled their names Tyrell. Many of his
descendants of the present generation spell their names in that way.
In 1706, he became one of the proprietors of New Milford Town-
ship, receiving by allotment Lot No. 16. On this tract his son
Caleb Turrill (whose wife was Abagail Basset, as after mentioned)
settled and raised a family of fifteen children, the ninth of whom
was John Turrill, who, in 1786, became the husband of Elizabeth
Buck. He was energetic and industrious in business, influential in
the Church and society and an uncompromising patriot. He
served a long time in Washington's Army. He was
taken prisoner by the British, at the Capture of Fort
Washington, and remained a prisoner some time before
he was exchanged. At the close of the war he married and
settled down to farming in New Milford Township. He led an in-
dustrous and useful lite, and died greatly respected. He was twice
married. His remains rest, beside those of his beloved Elizabeth,
in the old Cemetery at New Milford. Both of them were members
of and constant attendants at the First Congregational Church
there. Their pew was in the same row with those of his brother-
in-law, iVsaph Buck, on the right pul[)it end of the Church. To
maintain his sitting there in 1802, he was assessed on $806.

(70) ASAPH BUCK, b. April 21, 1762, d. Feb. 10, 1848, at New
Lisbon, N. Y., ra. Sept. 7, 1788, Phebe Wainright, b. at Stratford,
Conn., June 30, 1768, d. at New Lisbon, N. Y., March 30, 1855.
Both buried at New Lisbon, Otsego Co., N. Y.

Asaph Buck was twenty-six years of age, when he married Phebe
Wainright. His life had been spent on the farm. Baing too young
to boar the harilships of a soldier's life, he had charge of the pater-
nal acres, while his father and brothers were serving in the cause
of independence. Soon after his marriage, he purchased
a tarm near to or adjoining that of his father on
which he lived at the time of the latter's decease. With
his brother, Samuel B, he was charged with the duty of execu-
ting the trusts of his father's v/ill, a duty which was faith-
fully performed. His share of the paternal estates was two acres
of meadow land West of the barn ; an undivided quarter of a right
through New Milford Township and a tenth of the residium of the
lands and person.dty. Though a man of medium stature, he was

70

of superior, mental and physical streiigtli. His character was
unsullied. He possessed great executive ability and sound
judgment, in matters both public and private, which was much
relied ujDon by his fellow townsmen. Very early in life, he and
his wife united with the old First Congregational Church at New
Milford, of which they rt>mained active Ccnnmunicants during
their stay there. The records of the Church show that in 1803.
their pew was maintained by an assessment on the sum of $764.
Mr. Buck likewise contributed liberally to the causes of religion
and education. The Minister at this time, was Rev. Stanley
Griswold, a man of ability and sterling qualities, Upon the death
of his father in 1793, Mr. Buck sold his Long Mountain lands to
Jeremiah Baldwin, Jr., of Old Milford and purchased more
desirable ones, closer to New Milford, where, for ten years, he
lived a quiet industrious life. In 1793, the sale of lands by the
State of New York, attracted thousands of farmers from
the New England States and New Jersey. The tide of emigration
from these States continued to flow thitherward until 1806.
In 1803, Asaph Buck sold his New Milford lands, and with his
family and others, sought a new home west of the Hudson. They
reached, and finally determined to locate in what was then a part of
the Town of Pittsfield, Otsego County, N. Y. That pii't, three years
later, separated from Pittsfipld, was organized as tht^ Town of Lisbon.
Two years later, the word "New" was preiixed. tLnd Mi*. Back
purchased a farm, whereon he lived ani labored ths ram lindar of
his days, over forty years. He did some service in the War of 1812,
but how long the records to not disclose. Both he and his wife
were worthy members of the Congregational Church at New Lisbon,
which they were largely instrumental in organizing and sustaining.
They lived and died honored and respected, pionears of civil and
religious liberty, and their remains rest besitle those of seven of
their children in the village which they did so much to redeem from
a savage state.

(71) ' WILLIAM SHERMAN BUCK, b. Feb. 17, 1761, d. Aug. I,
1844, m. April 27, 1787, Barentha York, b. at Stoningtoa, Conn.,
Sept. 27, 1770, d. Oct. 4, 1827.

William Sherman Back attained his majority in 1785. The struggle

between the Colonies and the Mother Country, was n )w at an ew\,

and the great West, began to loom up, before the youthful Yankee

vision, as the laud of promise. Young William was endowed with

71

great physical strength, euergy, perseverance and powers of endur-
ance. The monotonous routine of a quiet life among the staid
Puritan farmers of the Housatonic Valley chafed his restless active
disposition and made him a fit subject for the emigration fever,
which had already become well nigh epidemic throughout New
England. The ardent youth was soon seized with a desire to taste
the adventures and dangers of frontier life. In 1763 several New
Milford families led by Kev. Noah AVindham, Pastor of the New
Milford Church, had emigrated to the Wyoming Valley, (now
Luzerne County) Pennsylvania, and effected a settlement. Among
those who had risked their lives and f jrtuues in this hazardous
undertaking was young William's uncle, Wdliam by name. As has
been before stated, the latter after establishing himself at the
Wyoming settlement, gave his services to the Colonial cause during
the war, as Captain of Militia and was but-ihered at the bloody
massacre at Wyoming in 1778. His family fled on foot all the way
back to Connecticut, but as the war was now over, they determined
to retrace their steps. This was v'ouug William's opportunity. Re-
ceiving from his father his share of the paternal estates, he
bade his kindred a last affdctionate adieu, turned his back upon his
native New England, and accompained his uncle's famil}'^ back to
Wyoming. Of the particulars of th it journey, there are no data at
hand, but consid-'ring the mode of travelling and the kind of roads
extant in those days, it may be safely asserted that it was a long
wearisome tramp, beset Avith liardships and frought with many dis-
appointments. Young William did not however, tarry long at
Wyoming. A settlement had been begun at Wyalusing (then Sus-
quehanna), now Bradford County, Pennsylvania, about this time.
Thither, in company with others, over mountains and through
forests, swamps and i-ivers, tramped William S. Buck in 1787, where
he met, wooed and on the 27th <if April, in the same year married
Bareutha (daughtf^r of Amos York and Lucretia Miner.) The couple
remained in Pennsylvania until, about 1791, during which time, their
four eldest children, first saw the light of day. Thej^ then removed
to what is now Tiiiniansburgh, Tompkins County, N. Y., where Wil-
liam purchased a farm. It is said by his descendants that he lost
his deed of this tract, before it had been recordedand thereby lost
the land. However this may be, he soon purchased two other
large tracts of wild land, one near Trumausburgh. and another in
Hector Township (now Schuyler County) N. Y. On the first of these

72

the family resided for the next twenty years, during which time,
the remaining nine children were born. During this twenty years also,
a large area of wild land was clearedup and brought into astate of culti-
vation by the energy and perseverance of the father and his stalwart
sons. In the meantime, the conflicting claims of New York, Virginia,
Massachusetts and Connecticut to the territory of the United States
northwest of the Ohio River, had been silenced by negotiation, and
Ohio, in 1802, had been curved thereout and admitted into the
galaxy of States. The fertility of the soil of the infant State, par-
ticularly in those portions contiguous to the Ohio River and Lake
Erie, together with the throwing of immense tracts open to
purchasers and settlers for nominal prices, and on easy terms of
credit, at once drew the attention of the people of the older States.
In 1818 the fnll tide of emigrationthither, had set in, and thousands
of emigrant families from New England, New York and Pennsyl-
vania trailed in motley procession towards the "Buckeye" border.
Among those who sAvelled this throng in the spring of 1818, were
William S. Buck and his family. He had fully anticipated the
vision of Bishop Berkeley, that " Westward the course of empire
takes its way," and perhaps had wisely concluded that furrowing
the rich bottom lands f)f Ohio would be much easier than dodging
the pine stumps and boulders of the " Empire State." After a
fatiguing journey over bad roads, through dense forests,
and inclement weathei", he reached Cincinnati, then an
infant settlement, in the vicinity of which he located
on, and for several years tilled lauds belonging to
General William H. Harrison, afterwards President Har-
rison. In the fall of 1827, his devoted wife Barentha York
died, and the following year, with such of his chihlren as had not
married, he removed to the vicinity of Patriot, Switzerland County,
Indiana, where he purchased a farm, on which he resided until
his death, in 1844, at the ripe age of nearly eighty years. Though
prominent and active in the communities in which he lived, he
was not ambitious of social distinction, nor political preferment.
He is not known to have ever held a civil office beyond, perhaps,
that of School Trustee, Road Master, or the like. He served a
long time in the Militia, where he rose to the rank of Major, which
rank he held until his age exempted him from military duty. In
religions faith he was a Universalist, (from about 1834';, and was
one of the oi'iginators of the first Church of that faith at Patriot,

73

ludiaiia, in tlie Cemetery connected with wliich, his remains rest.
Daring the Eevolutionarj War, a spy for the British and a traitor
to his Country, lived in Lichfield Co., Ct. By some means, his
treason was discovered, and he was obliged to flee to save his life.
He reached the shore of Long Island Sound, and was received
on board of one of the enemy's ships, whence he Avent to Nova Scotia,
and afterwards to Canada and in process of time to Ohio. As Wil-
liam S. Buck was at church in Ohio, one Sabbath, who should come
in but this refugee, who had changed his name. Mr. Buck recog-
nized him immediately, altlif)ugli he had not seen him for more than
thirty years. Afterwards forming the acquaintance of Mr. Buck,
the refugee made many and minute inquiries, concerning all tlie
families and persons he had t'orinerly known in Connecticut. Last
of all he inquired what had become of a certain man, giving his
trm name. Mr. Buck said to him, in the words of Holy Writ," Thou
art fJie mnn.'" This he admitted, but begged, for the sake of his
family, that his conduct, and true name, should not be made public,
which was cordially granted. Barentha York was respectably con-
nected. Her father, Captain Amos York, was a prominent Whig
Colonist from Stonington, Conn. Early espousing the Colonial
cause, he entered the service on the breaking out of the Revolu-
tionary conflict. Soon after, he was captured by Indians and thrown
into a Britisli ju'ison at Quebec, where he remained a prisoner a
long time. AVhen he at last succeededed in esca))ing, his
daughter Barentha met him on the way. He was too weak to
stand the return journe3^ Tradition says his daughters van-
sonied him from the Indians. He ;ind his wife settled at Wya-
lusing, Pa., on a huge tract of land given them by his wife's father,
where they reared nine cliildren, one of whom was Barentha, wife
of William Sherman Buck (71), above mentioned. Capt. Aholiab
Buck, a cousin of William Sherman Buck, who was massacred at
Wyoming in 1778, mi'rried a sister of Barentha Y'ork. She was
likewise a sister of Rev. Miner York, wIjo was made a prisoner by
the Indians and taken to Albany, N. Y., where he remained a long
time in jirison. The Miners, from whom Barentha was descended
on the maternal side, are an old and somewhat famous family.
Early in the 14th Century, Henry BuUman, by occupation a miner,
lived in the Mendippe Hills, in Somersetshire, England. King Ed-
Ward III., being on his way to embark for France, was at an oppor-
tune moment, ])rovided by Bullman with an escort, which piloted

74

the Kiug safely to the point of embarkation. In ackuowledgemeut
of this Eojal service, the monarch cfmferred on Bullman the sur-
name and armorial bearings of " Miner," intending thereby to
honor Bullraan's occupation, by giving the latter the name of his
trade. The Miners, in time, became a wealthy and aristocratic
family. Thomas Miner, a descendant of Henry, came over with
Wiuthrop's Companv to the Pequot Country, in Connecticut, and
settled there, in 1646. After a prominent and active life in Con-
necticut, he died in 1690, aged eighty-three. He is said to have
been the first American ancestor of all bearing the name of Miner,
in this country, including the mother of Barentha York. He had a
son, Captain John Miner, who settled and died at Woodbufy, Conn.
The latter had a daughter Grace, born September 20, 1670, who
married about 1690, Samuel Grant, Jr., of Windsor, Conn., from
whom was descended General U. S. Grant.

Barentha York, was a member of the Presbyterian Church at
Berean, two miles from Cleves, Hamilton County, Ohio, on the
West side of the Great Miami River, in the Cemetery connected
Avith which her ashes rest.

(72) SALMON BUCK, b. May 19, 1766, d. Aug. 10, 1851, m.
March 5, 1794, Urana Beecher (daughter of Eleazer Beecher and
Elsie Bristol), b. in 1763, d. Dec. 9, 1836. He was a Jarmer, resid-
ing four miles Northwest of New Milford, Litchfield County,
Conn.

Salmon Buck spent his days, until his marriaga on his father's
farm, on Lono; Mountain. He seems to have assumed the care of
his parents and sisters. To him his father devises the old home-
stead and two acres of land adjoining it, in addition to other lands,
which he had previcnisly conveyed to him by deed. This devise
he charged with the duty of providing a home for, and taking care
of his daughters, Ruth and Jerusha, a duty which the sou faith-
fully performed. With him, Ruth made her home much of the
time.

He was a good citizen, a man of strict integrity and uprightness
of character, kind and obliging to all. Oa the old homestead, he
lived and died. He and his wife were members of the Congrega-
tional Church at New Milford, in the Cemetery connected with
which they both rest. His wife Urana Beecher was a woman of
exemplary character and piety, beloved by all who knew her.

75

Her father, Eleazer Beeclier, Jr., was a brotlier of Nathaniel
Beecher, the great j);raudfathei of Henry Ward Beecher, the world-
renowned pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn.

(73) HANNAH BUCK, b. May 15, 1768, d. May 27, 1853, m. Feb.
22, 1789, Jared Turrell, b. Oct. 18, 1762, d. Sept. 27 1833. Husband
was a farmer, residing near Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio.

Jared Turrill was by occupation a farmer, although he had
learned the trades of tanner and harnessmaker. He was active in
town and religious affairs. He was a communicant and a pew holder
in the New Milford Congregational Church, where for thirty years
of his married life, lie resided with his family.

As to my grandfather, Jared Turrill," says Prof. M. S. Turrill,
" I knew but very little about him. He was always represented to
" me as a very hard working man, a shoemaker by trade, serving a
" seven years' apprenticeship; tried to cultivate for a farm, a strong
" side-hill near New Preston, in Litchfield County, Connecticut; in
" 1818, came with his family to Ohio, over the AUeghanies by wagon,
" and down the Ohio Biver from Pittsburg to Cincinnati in a flat
" boat ; purch.ised eighty acres of land six miles from Cincinnati,
" in Columbia Township, Hamilton County, on Avliich he lived
" about fifteen years until his death. He was in religion a Congre-
" gationalist in the last ; and a Presbyterian in Ohio ; a consistent
" Christian, and left behind that of which his descemlants are ever
" proud, a good name through his entire life.

" My grandmother, Hannah Turrill, will be ever present in my
" memory. She lived after my grandfather's death, in m}^ father's
" famil}^ and I knew her intimately from the time I knew any one,
" until my twenty-fourth year, wlien she died. I remember her oc-
" cupying a certain chair in the chimney corner, working indus-
" trously at her knitting, even when her hearing was weakened by
" age, her eyesight dimmed with blindness, and her fingers almost
" benumbed. She mad-^ all children her warm friends, telling us
" often of many scenes that transpired in her youth, of her brother
" who served in the Revolutionary War, and the bright blue uniform
" he wore, of her Uncle Roger Sherman in the Continental Con-
" gress, how he us-^il to come to her father's Thanksgiving days,
" and always brought her a present ; of other brothers and sisters

" who,

" Grew in bf-aiitv side b_v side,

" Who tilled our home with glee.
" Whose graves are severed far and wide

•• By mountain, stream, aud sea."

76

"Aud oil! liow it pleased me, and ber also, the year before lier
" death, when I visited her early home on Long Mountain, Conuec-
" ticut; for of the various gifts I brought home to her Avere some
" apples from trees whose fruit she had enjoyed, and whose flavor
" even then, she well remembered, thus reviving vividly the memo-
'' ries of her childhood, and recalling reminiscences of her youth,
" her home, and the orchard's delicious fruits.

" One bright spring day, when the breezes were loaded with
"balmy perfume, from the fragrant roses and wild wood flowers, —
"when the forests were glassy with new-come verdure, and the
" grass and grain-buds swelling and raising their tapering like fin-
"gers heavenward, we laid our grandmother away in her last repose,
"in the beautiful hill-crowned cemetary uf Pleasant Ridge, and
"within the shadow of the church where she long worshiped.

" On her monument are the words, selected previously by her, and
" expressive of her gratitude to God. ' Return unto thy rest, O my
"soul, for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.'

"Around the lattice that encloses that sacred spot, are the rose
'•and eglantine; and their fragrance and sweetness are fit emblems
" of her purity and loveliness of character. Many kind thoughts,
" many cheerful smiles, many glorious pictures of the past are mine ;
"but none, no, none are brighter, than my childhood memories of
" thee, my dearest grandmother.

Hannah Buck w^as gifted with intelligence and stmnd common
sense, a keen judgment of human nature and the fitness
of things, coupled with a cheerful lively disposition made
her popular in the society in which she moved. Her ad-
vice was valued and her ojunious respected, by all who
had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was, while in Connecti-
cut, a member of the First Congregational Church, at New Milford.
During her latter years, she was a communicant of tlie Presbyterian
Church. Her memory is honored by a numerous and respectable
host of descendants. Her husband, Jared Tuirdl, was a brother of
John Turrill, the husband of her sister Elizabeth. As I have said,
his father Caleb Turrill, was of honorable descent and married
Abagail Bassett. I should add, that x^bagail Bassett was a descend-
ant of Robert Bassett, one of the French Huegonot families, that
fled from Picardy, and settled in Connecticut in the first half of the
17th Century. This Robert, was the progenitor of a most remark-
able family of eleven boys and three girls, a total of fourteen. Their

77

names, according to Savage, were Enoch, Caleb, Isaac, Stephen,
John, Joel, Job, Jared, Benjamin, Doctor and Major and Abagail,
Mehitable and Freelove.

They may be justly called a fighting family, surely they cannot
be twitted with lack of Patriotism.

Nearly all of these boys, bore arms in defence of the mother coun-
try, against France or against the mother country for independ-
ence. Stephen enlisted under Abercrombie at the age of fifteen,
and participated in the Canadian struggle. Later, he served in
Revolutionary war under Washington. It is said that he witnessed
the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, and died in Vermont aged
101. John was likewise in the war, on th^ continental side, and
suffered long as a prisoner in the terrible Jersey prisonship, at
New York. Doctor was a seventh son, and died unmarried at the
age of 21. Benjamin was drowned while fishing in the Housatonic
Falls. Very few of theii' descendants are left, in New England.
Thev are scattered over the middle and Western States.

"Mr. Isaac Dayton, of the 25th ward, and for more than sixty
" years a resident of this city, died Monday evening the 13th
"instant, at the advanced age of ninety years, five months and
" twenty-six days. He was born in New Milford, Ct., Sept. 19,

" Minton Road in Spriugfiekl Township, about two miles west of
" Mount Pleasant. This far j he cultivated with fair success, for
" nearly forty years. As age came on, he divided his estate amcjng
" his children and with his wife, resided for some ten years at
" Pleasant Ridge, this county. Since his wife's death, about twelve
" years ago, he made Ids home with his daughter, Mrs. Thalia
" Turrell. He always enjoyed excellent health, the result of
" strictly temperate habits, and a blameless moral life, his last days

of obtaining a large treasure from a sunken vessel in the Missis-
sippi River. In the summer of 1841, he started on an expedition to
the Mississippi, to explore this wreck. He called on his sisters in
Central New York, on his way, and appeared to be sanguine of suc-
cess. He, however, fell sick of a fever, brought on by exposure,
and died at Alton, Ills., without having put his scheme into effect.

River.) He was a tall, fine looking man, and endowed with great

Cody, bin 1824. Husband is a lawyer, xlddress Napierville, DaPage
Coujty, Ills. A writer in the weekly magazine of Chicago in its
issue of April 12, 1884, thus speaks of him : —

" When we find a man whom office and honors persistently seek,
" we may be sure he is lifted by some notable qualities, above his
" fellow men. When he is the spontaneous and unanimous choice
" of a large body of citizens, who knew him only by reputation,
•' and draws his support for positions of trust and responsibility
" from without, and beyond all party lines, we may be certain that
" he possesses conspicuous abilities, which merit confidence and ad-
" miration, for, in their recognition of genuine worth, the masses of
" the people are rarely wrong. Again, Avhen we find him perempto-
" rily declining nominations for high places, tendered by acclama-
" tion and equivalent to election, we feel ourselves in the presence
" of a remarkable character, and one which stands out in bold
" relief, against the background of an office-greedy age. Such a
" man is an honor to his community ; his life is a lesson to the
" young, and his success is an incentive to honorable ambition.
" Such a man is Judge Hiram H. Cody, an outline sketch of whose

no

" career we now present with pleasure to our readers. He wasboru
" in 1824 ill Oneida County, New York, where his ancestors were
" among the pioneer settlers, his grandfather having been a soldier
" of the revolution. His parents, people of culture, unusual in
" that day, designed him early for the law, and educated him with
" this object ever in view. In 1843, however, his father came to
" Kendall Connty in this State, and a year later settled at Blooming -
" dale in Du Page County. Four years afterward, the subject of
" our sketch was chosen Clerk of the County Commissioner's Court
" of his county, and removed to Naperville, where upon the adop-
" tion of the constitution of '48 he was nominated by acclamation
" and elected the first County Clerk of his county, an office he held
" for six years. In the meantime, however, he had been admitted
" to the bar, and declining renomination devoted himself to his
" profession. Though a Democrat in politics, he has been indebted
" to his party vote for no other office, and at the outbreak of the war
" was one of the most ardent union men in the State, his energy
" and eloquent appeals having contributed very largely to the bril-
" liant war record of Da Page County.

" In 1861, in a convention embracing all parties, he was nomin-
" ated for County Judge, and elected by an almost unanimous vote.
" In 1869 he was chosen delegate to the constitutional convention
" by a majority of n^ irly two hundred ; though his opponent was
" one of the most popular E.3 publicans, in a county where the
" Democratic minority was singularly small. In this body he was
" chairman of the most popular committee on revision and adjnst-
" ment, making his report at the hour of final adjournment, aprompt-
" itude which secured his committee the only unanimous vote of
" thanks given during the session. In 1874 Judge S. Wilcox of the
" Fourth Judicial Circuit then composed of Kane, Du Page and
" Kendall Counties resigned his office, and Judge Cody was elected
" as his successor, and elected by the largest m;ijority ever given in
" the circuit, each town in his own county giving him anoverwhelm-
" ing vote. Indeetl the three towns where he was best known poll-
" ing for him all bu.t fourteen out of a possible ten hundred and
" twenty-one l)allots.

" In 1877, however, three other Kepublican counties were united
" with the Fourth, to make the Twelfth Judicial Circuit, and in the
" party contest which followed. Judge Cody was not elected, though
" he reduced his opponent's majority from twelve to about two thou-

Ill

" sand votes. He now became a member of the firm of Cary, Cody
" & Gary, doing business in this city, though retaining his residence
" in Napierville, a firm which stands among the foremost in Chi-
" cago. Since then he has, regardless of his protest and continued
" refusal to accept office, been nominated for State Senator, and
" twice for Congress ; but his professional engagements and the in-
" terests confided to his care were so numerous as to all but pre-
" elude the possibility of an acceptance.

"Asa Judge, he was without pi-ejudice, careful, deliberate and
" correct, eighty per cent, of his appealed decisions having been af-
" firmed by the higher courts. As a lawyer, he is noted for his rare
" abilities, skill and faithfulness to his clients, and the eloquence
" and earnest sincerity which rendered hi in a most effective advo-
" cate. As a citizen he has been ever loyal, outspoken in his con-
*' victions, and zealous in his support of honest men and measures.
" while as a man he is courteous, affaole, warm-h(^arted, sympa-
" thetic and uui-elfish, with a contempt of all shame and an un-
" swerving ambition to do the right for its own sake."

Jan. 11,1799, d. there Dec. 22, 1870. Husband was a farmer. Both are
buried in the Cemetery at Gaylordsville, Coun. After his marriage
he remained on his father's homestead, and became a valuable citi-
zen of New Milford. That he was greatly loved and respected, is
evidenced by the fact, that when sliortiy after his father's death,
his house and out-buildings were totally consumed by lire, his
neighbors made up the loss to him by replacing the buildings. He
was a thorough business man, full of energy and ambition. Late in
life he engaged largely in speculation in Western lands, becoming
thereby wealthy ; but the Civil War coming on, he was caught in
the vortex of ruin caused by the unsettling of values, and thereby
his fortune was greatly impaired. Before he could extricate him-
self, he sickened and died. Hewas liberal to the poor, and a consis-
tent christian ; faithful to the support of the Congregational Church ,
of which he was an honored member. His wife was likewise in
every sense a true Christian lady.

a farmer residing at Sherman, Fairfield County, Conn. Widow's

127

address is New Milford, Conn. Armida Saudford inherited inanv of
the qualities of her mother, particularly a robust constitution. Her
son, Minot S., tlius spoke of her: "She has seldom needed a phy-
" sician. Possessed of untiring energy and iudnstry, she has always
" found pleasure iu laboring for others. At the age of 27 she be-
" came a member of the Congregational Church of New Milford, and
" has seldom been absent from its services. She lives with her sou
" Minot S., and is at'the age of 85 (she is now 93), in full possession
" of her faculties. Many years since a cataract deprived her of the
" sight of one eye, but the other is perfect, and she takes great
" comfort in reading. Her memory of events that transpired in the
" early part of the century is good.

Church, and during a long life has been a consistent Christian. Her

care of the farm devolved upon him. At 18, he taught school.

Kepublicans for town offices, but was defeated, because he would

farm, and removing to Bridgeport, Conn., engaged in the grocery
business. In the spring of 1866 he went into the wholesale pro-
duce and commission business, the firm name being Hawes & Gid-
dings, until 1869, when he established himself in the same business
with his brother-in-law, V. E. C. Giddings. In 1873, having pre-
viously been admitted to the bar, he began the practice of the pro-
fession of law in Bridgeport. Later he entered the grocer}^ firm of
Morgan Hopson & Co. In 1878 he established himself with a New
York tea firm. Daring his leisure tim^ he hi 1 for years beau

of New Lisbon, N. Y., b. Aug. 1, 1797, d. at Elba, N. Y., July 18,
1878. He was by occupation a farmer. In 1810, at the age of
nineteen, he purchased the farm at Elba, N. Y., upon which he
spent the remainder of his days, nearly seventy years. In early life
he was connected with the Baptist Church; and though he subse-
quently withdrew from it, he alwajs lived a Christian life, and^was
highly respected in the commiiuity around him. One of his Sons
thus testifies to the value of his home influence : "Father's family
" were well brought up, and have each followed the straight and
" narrow path."

The first coat he ever wore was made for him by his grandmother
Elizabeth (Sherman) Buck, a sister of Roger Sherman, when he
was two years (dd ; and he presented it to his grandson, Elijah
Carhart, when the latter was two years old. This interesting relict
is still in the possession of this grandson at Pontiac, Mich.

of Samuel and Catherine (Myer) Wells), b. at Saugerties, Ulster
County, N. Y. She still survives her husband at Glasco, Ulster
County, N. Y. His early life, like that of his brother Elijah, was
spent upon his father's farm, but his tastes were literar}^ rather than
agricultural. For a Avhile he studied law ; then he turned his atten-
tion towards the medical profession. But only for a season. On
making a public profession of Christ, he thenceforth gave himself
wholly to the work of the ministry. He was 24 years of age when he
took this step ; though lie always thought that he might have been
converted wlien nine years old. He was licensed to preach in Feb}^
1820, by the Union Congregational Association at Exeter, N. Y.
Two years later this Association dissolved; and he became con-
nected with the Presbytery of Otsego. His successive pastoral
charges were at Worcester (supply) Knox, Cairo, Caatsbaau (suj)plv)
Hunter, Maiden and Jewett, all in the State of New York, and all
marked more or less by revivals. In 1830 at Cairo, between seventy
and eighty were hopefully converted. Perhaps his best work was
in the Church of Jewett, to which he ministered twent^'-four years,
and to which place, his remains were brought, for burial. He
passeil through many severe trials. In every place wliere he so-
journed, save one, he was called to bury his dead. But he "walked
with God." Few spent so much time in secret prayer, or labored
to stimulate others to that privilege. In his diary, which he kept
nearly all his life, he writes (Jan. 17, 1847), " I remain on my knees
" from forty to seventy minutes." His last entry in that diary is,
" Mv full assurance of hope still continues, absent from the bodv, I
" shall be present with the Lord." His memory is cherished, not
oulv in the churches that enjoyed his services, but in the regions
beyond. He preached fifty years ; and after his formal resignation
of the pastoral office, he still labored, as far as progressing infir-
mities allowed. His estimate can best be expressed in the words
of the late Prof. Joseph x\lden, D.D.L.L.D., uttered a short time
before his own decease. " A better man never lived." He received
the honorary degree of A.M. from Williams' College in 1836.

of the Congregational Church and took a deep interest in educational
and benevolent works. A large part of her property was given to
Missionary, Bible and Tract Societies.

Homer Curtis Buck's entire life was spent on the farm where he
was born, where he possessed the respect and confidence of all his
neighbors, from childhood up. A fellow townsman, Benj. C. Gard-
ner, Esq., says, " He was gifted by nature with a strong retentive
" min:l, whicli he cultivated by constant application, and which
" preeminently fitted him to be a leader in the society in which he
" lived. His counsel and advice were sought and rvispected by his
" neighbors. He was six times elected Justice of the Peace, and
" twice Justice of Sessions; and so correct was his judgment, that
" his decisions were never reversed in a higher Ccnirt." At an
early age, he became a member of the Congregational Church,
and at once took a prominent position. During many years he was
the leader of the choir, for which his enthusiastic fondness for mu-
sic well qualified him. He was active m the Sabbath School, and
for a long time was its superintendent. A large concourse of citi-
zens, for miles around, gathered at his funeral, thus testifying to

boat was to stop at the latter place for a few hours, young Carhart
and another soldier went to hear them. Meanwhile the boat had
started, and, much to their regret, they were left behind. But they
found room at the Soldier's Home, and had just retired, when they
saw the Sultana in flames, drifting down the river, and heard the
cries of their poor comrades for help, little of which could be ex-
tended, as the current was so rapid. Over one thousand perished.

horrible than he cculd tell ; but nothing ever so impressed him as

Laura Buck (702) and Marvin Salter have 2 clin. both b. at Lyons
Mich., to wit :—

(736) CHARLES HENRY SALTER, b. Nov. 29, 1839; m. Sept.
17, 1867, Frances Isabel Hanscoin. b, at Detroit, Mich., March 10,
1848, (daughter of Marvin and Elizabeth J. Hanscom of Sheboygan,
Wis.) She is a communicant of St. Paul's Episcopal Church at
Detroit, whero all the family attend service. Address, No. Ill Ab-
bott Street, Detroit, Mich. In early life Mr. Salter entered his
father's store at Detroit, and at the age of twenty, he with a i:)artner
puichased the business. One year later when the Civil War burst
upon the Country, he hastily sold his interest, and on April 19, 1861,
enlists'l wifcli tlis " Dc^troit Light Ga.irds " of which he was
a member. His Company went out as Company A, 1st.
Mich. Volunteer Infantry, and his Ragimeut was the first
Western Pvegiment that reached AYashiugton, arriving May 16,
1861, and being cordially welcomed by President Lincoln.

On the 24th before daylight they crossed Long Bridge, drove
in the Confederate pickets and rapidly marched upon Alexandria,

150

Va., which they took having captured a troop of 150 rebel cavalry
on the waj'. In the first battle of Bull Run the regiment lost nine
officers, including Col. O. B. Wilcox, and one hundred and eight
men. This heavy loss was due to the fact that the regiment had
penetrated farther into the rebel lines than any other Union force,
and were, for a time, unable to extricate themselves. Mr. Salter
having served a three months enlistment, was mustered out August
7, 1861, and onl}' two days later, received a comaiission as 2d Lieu-
tenant in Col. Stockton's Begimeut, afterwards known as the 16th
Michigan Eegiment of Infantry. He was with McClellan on the
Peninsula, shared in the siege of Yorktovvu, participated in the
brilliant engagement at Hanover, C. H.,and in the sanguinary battle
at Gaines Mills, where liis regiment lost eleven officers and three
hundred and nine men. Their retreat from Richmond was marked
by fighting eA-ery day, ending with the battle of Malvern Hill.

Under General Pope, Lieutenant Salter fought at Second Bull
Run, in which his division made a desperate attack upon " Stone-
wall Jackson's " corps, but was driven back with great loss. On the
march to repel the rebel invasion of Maryland, he took part in the
battle of Antietara. He was now a First Lieutenant, and as
such was engaged in the battles of Fredericksburgh, Chan-
cellorsville and Middleburgh, where his brigade defeated a
large force of rebel cavalry. They arrived after a night'-s march at
Gettysburgh, the morning of July 2, and were ordered in great haste
to meet Longstreet's CfU'ps. As Lieutenant Salter's regiment was
in the advance, they were the first to reach Round Top Hill, where
a fierce hand to hand struggle ensued, extending from the rocks on
the top of the hill, to the ravine below. While thus engaged, a bat-
tery took ]3ossession on the hill, and firing over their heads, gave
them effective assistance. Thus they succeeded in driving back the
rebel hordes, and holding their positiou all day, though in close
musket shot to tiie enemy; and they remained orj the front line un-
til the fifth of July, when Lee's army retreating they started in pur-
suit.

Lieut. Salter was later in the battles of Wapping Heights,
Brandy and Bristow Stations, in the latter of which six pieces of
artillery and eleven hundred prisoners were captured from an at-
tacking force. Near Rappauhannock Station, two forts and a long
line of breast works, were stormed and eight pieces of c;unnon and
twent5^-two hundred prisoners captured. All so quickl}- done that
the 16th Mich, lost only three men wounded.

151

The entire regiment, or wliat was left of it having enlisted for an-
other three years, and being recruited (Lieut. Salter, now a Cap-
tain), entered the campaign under Grant, participated in the terri-
ble battles of the Wilderness, Laurel Hill, Spottsylvania, North
Auna, Tolopotomy Creek, Magnolia Swamp and Bethesda Church,
besides being engaged in continual skirmishes every day and many
nights. The regiment arrived near Petersburgh, June 17, 1864, and
took part in the fight of that day, the day after, aud in the mine ex-
plosion afi'air of Jul}' 30, being under fire almost continually. Cap-
tain S^dter's corps being relieved from duty in the trenches, pro-
ceeded to the Weldon Railroad, and after a desperate struggle cap-
tured the position and held it against four days fighting to recover
it. About this time he was appointed on the staff of the Colonel
commanding brigade, as Inspector General, in which capacity he
was serving when he was relieved at the battle of Prebles Farm,
Sept. 30, for the purpose of taking the command of his regiment,
being then the ranking officer of that command. In the charge
upon a fort aiid lines of earthworks from riglit to left of it, over an
open space of more tlian half a mile, while on all sides men were
falling, Major Partridge was severely wounded in the head and
throat. The first man to mount the works was the Colonel of the
16th Michigan, and he, while waving his sword to his men
to come on, was shot dead aud fell back into the ditch.
Captain Salter was close to him, and being next in rank,
led the regiment, scaled the works, and pressing to the rear of the
fort, captured it and the garrison. A pitched battle was fought, but
the enemy, reinforceil with fresh troops, were unable to recover one
inch of the ])osition. The Union loss was verv great, especially in
officers. Night found a major in command of the brigade and a
captain in command of every regiment. On recommendation of
Gen. Griffin, Division Commander, Capt. Salter was promoted to be
brevet major "for gallant and distinguishsl services." He remained
in command of the regiment until Jan. 15, 1865, meanwhile engaging
in the battle of Hatchers llim and in several raids on the Waldoa
Railroad. When Col. Partridge (the former major), healed of his
Avounds, resumed command, Major Salter was mustered out, having
been in the army three years and nine UKmths. He received from
CoL B. F. Partridge " congratulations and thanks for having so nobly
" and succes^'fully performed his duties during his perilous term of
" service, and for hiving b^en connected with an organization which

152

" lias with honor to itself participated iu the following named battles,"
no less than thirty-eight being euu '.unrated, which d > uotinclude those
in which he was engiged during his three months' service. Re-
turning borne he resumed business, from which he retired in com-
fortable circumstances in Nov., 1SS2, and purchased the place No.
Ill Abbott street, Detroit, where he now resides. He is treasurer
of Fairbank's Post, No. 17, G. A. R., and a member of the Light
Guard, Veteran Corps, of Detroit.

ini/id)!} Slierman Buck (71), and Borenf/ia Yorkhave had thirteen
chn. : — -

Tliey all inherited, in a remarkable degree, the hardihood and
perseverance of their New England ancestors. They were brought
up to haV)its of untiring industry and rigid economy. The sons
were inured to the arduous labors and exposures of farmer fron-
tiersmen, while the daughters were schooled in the multifarious and
perplexing duties of the household. The latter did not consider it

158

beneath tlie diguity of womanhood to handle the flax-wheel and the
loom indoors, and the axe and hoe outdoors. In short, they were
taught to be he]-p-meets and not help-eats, simply. The great west
Avas then no try sting place for the idler and the spendthrift. * All
were compelled to work or perish. The subsequent and almost
unexceptional success in life, of these thirteen children, should
afford food for pleasant thought, to their numerous decendants-
It indicates how effective, correct home teachings and parental
example are in building up substantial character. These thirteen
children were as follows :

(801) AMOS YORK BUCK, b. at Wyalusing, Pa., Feby. 28, 1788;
d. at Enfield Centre, N. Y., Oct. 13, 1853; m. May 7, 1812, Susanna
Lovell, (dr. of Asahel Lovell, and Hannah Bj^ram, b. in Sussex
County, N. J., July 11, 1789, d. at EnfieLl Centre, N. Y., Aug.
17, 1852. Immediately upon his marriage, he bought and located
on a farm near what is now Steamburgh, Schuyler County, N. Y.,
where he worked at clearing up laud until about 1821, when, not
liking the localit}', he sold out and removed to Updyke's Settlement,
a hamlet in Tompkins County, N. Y., about twa miles northwest of
Enfield Centre. Here he purchased about sixty acres of unimproyed
land, adjoining lands of his father-in-law, which he subsequentlj^
traded for a farm in Venango County, Pa. He did not, however,
leave Tompkins Count}^ but purchased from his father-in-law,
Asahel Lovell, a tract adjoining a tract owned b}^ his wife, on which
he built a log hut and industriously set to work. The task of denn-
ing this land was Herculean, as it was heavily timbered with white
pine, the stumps of which required years of persistent effort to dis-
lodge, and tilling the soil between which was extremely laborious.
The struggle was enough to shatter the strongest constitution, and
the wonder in our day is, that men could endure so miich exhaustive
toil. But an iron will and perseverance in the end brought success.
In a few years the farm was cleared, fenced and paid for and good
buildings erected. Here Mr. Buck and his family lived until his
premature de;itij, his constitution having broken down under hard
and constant labor. Fur honesty, no man in the conimuity stood
higher. Always depracating debt, he avoided it as one will avoid
putting his hand in the fire. He detested profanity and untruthful-
ness, pitying those who were slaves to either. In stature he was of
medium height and compactl}^ built. His step was quick and
elastic. He read much, particularl}' in his later years. He was

159

always the friend and patron of education. In politics lie held to the
then Democratic faith, but he never could have been other than a
strong Unionist. He was a man of firmness, good judgment and
spT)tless integrity ; a man who never meddled in social or political
disputes, a kind husband and father and an exemplary Christian,
who died respected by all who knew him. His wife, Susanna
Lovell, was one of eleven children of ])arents of Scotch descent, w^ho
had emigrated from New Jersey to Central N. Y. She was a quiet,
geiitle, amiable woman, whose many virtues and patient devotion to
the welfare of her family and friends, will ever be fondly cherished
by such of her posterity as had the good fortune to know her.
Both were for many years members of the Presbyterian Church at
Meckenlburgh, N. Y., where they attended service regularly. Their
remains rest side by side in the cemetery of the Old Presbyterian
Church at Enfield Centre, N. Y.

(802) JAMES BUCK, b. at Wyalusing, Pa., Jan. 27, 1790 ; d. at
Patriot, Ind., Sept. 7, 1857 ; m. Nov. 6, 1820, Margaret Craig, (widow
of William Graham), b. in Bucks County, Pa., October 31, 1795; d.
at Patriot, Ind., May 30, 1883. James Buck spent the years of his
minority on his father's farm in (then) Seneca County, N. Y. He
had just ])assed his 21st year when the war of 1812 broke out. He
did not wait to be drafted but enlisted at once, and under General
Scott, ])articipated in many battles, among which was that of
Lundy's Lane. Later he took a hand in Indiarf fighting under
General " Tippecanoe " Harrison.

On the termination of the struggle, he bought and settled on a
part of the Western domain, then under the control of Congress,
on Bryant's Creek, in Switzerland County, Indiana, where he fol-
lowed farming until his sudden death from sunstroke. By nature,
he was stern, though quiet and un:issnming. Hc> was temperate
and industrious in his habits, kind in his intercourse with his family
and neighb(n-s, a friend of education, ;ind given to charitable deeds.
His willow, Margaret Craig, died at the age of 87. She possessed
a sound mind in a sound body. She never saw a sick day,
and died of old age. In 1811, she married W^illiain Graham,
who died soon after, and by whom she had a daughter named
Mary Ann, who grew to womanhood and married. The an-
cestors of Margaret Craig were noted for longevity. Her father,
born in Londonnery County, Ireland, of Irish parentage, and her
mother, born in County Antrim, Ireland, of Scotch parentage, both
died at the advanced age of 93.

(803) SHEKMAN AHOLIAB BUCK, b. at Wyalusiiig, Pa.,
May 13, 1791 ; d. iii Van Baren County, Iowa, May 10, 1862 ; m. in
1829, Urana Hicks, b. in Vermont, June 10, 1808 ; d. in Keokuk
County, Iowa, Nov. 17, 1872. Sherman A. Buck was m. in his 28tli
year, up to which time be bad led a quiet but busy life, assisting
his father and brothers to clear up farms in New York and
Ohio. He remained in Indiana until 1816, when, tempted by
glowing frontier reports, he "pulled up" and removed with
his family to Heury County, Iowa. His 3'oungest son, Asaph,
was then bnt two years old. He purchased a farm in Henry
County, and remained on it till 1861, when he again " pulled up "
and removed to Van Buren County, Iowa. Here he purchased
a moderate sized farm, of good land, and set about improving it, but
died the year following. This last removal, was to please his sons,
who now being quite large, desired more land to occupy their time
and strength. For some years, he had been a cripple, unable to do
much hard work. The management of the farm fell to his son
Asaph. Mr. Buck was in many respects, a peculiar man. He could
not brook debt, and his promptnsss to cancel obligations, was a
matter of comment among his neighbors. Unfortunatel}-, he was
timid or indifferent when others owed him, and used often to say
that he would rather loose an honest debt, owing him, than ask for
it. This trait of character, although sometimes a virtue, is. not con-
dusive to the affin;inment of wealth, and he therefore did not accu-
mulate a fortune, though he had enough for comfort and indepen-
dence. For a while after reaching Iowa, he followed boatiao- oa the
rivers. He was temperate in diet, speech and manners, kind in
his intercourse with men, and generous to a fault; he never held
political office. He was proud of the family name, and desired
particularly to see his sons grow up useful and influential
members of societ}'. His wife Uiana Hicks, of English de-
scent, was more a matter of fact woman. She was ambitious
to attain property, and careful to save it — ^uot for the sake
of show, but for the coniforts to be realized from, and the
good to be done with it. After her husband's death, she was called
to undergo the trying ordeal of seeing all her sons march to join
the Union army. Her (mly remark was, "It is hard to see them all
" go, but I am glad to know that none of them are disposed to
" shirk their duty," — a remark worthy of a truly patriotic Ameri-
can mother. In religious faith, they both adhered to Universalism.

161

His remains rest iu a private burying ground, at Utica, Van Bureu
County, Iowa. Her's rest at Keokuk, Iowa.

(804) WILLIAM MINER BUCK, b. at Wyalusing, Pa., March
12, 1793; d. in Fayette County, Ind., August 3, 1834; m. 1817,
Ellen Fairchild Thomas (daughter of Elder Miner Thomas, a
prominent Baptist minister), b. May 28, 1797; d. Sept. 28, 1863.
William Miner Buck removed with his father to Ohio, and thence
to Indiana (Fayette County), where he followed the occupation of a
farmer, until his sudden death, from Asiatic cholera. He was a
man of stern, but quiet and peaceful disposition, strictly honest and
just in all his dealings with his fellow men. Although possessed
of but an ordinary common school education, he was a great reader
and a deep thinker, — a man of more than ordinary intelligence, who
would have made a mark in the Avorld, had opportunities been
thrown in his way. He never aspired to, or held office, but died
greatly loved and respected. His wife was also a woman of intelli-
gence, and of a pleasant, agreeable disposition. Their eldest son
says of his parents: " The}^ were such as any one might be proud
of." Their remains rest in Fayette County, Ind., where they were
both members of the Baptist Church.

(805) HARMON CAMP BUCK, b. near Trumansburgh, N. Y.,

1846, Louisa Dewfield (date of her birth unknown). Widow's ad-
dress is Leroy, McLean County, Ills. Harmon Camp Buck re-
mained with his father until 13 years of age, when expressing a de-
sire to learn a trade, his father apprenticed him to a blacksmith,
with whom he remained until he was 21. He received, iu addition
to his wages, a horse, saddle and suit of clothes. After selling the
horse and saddle for $36.00 he started west to seek a fortune, with
a bundle strapped to his back. He did not find the expected for-
tune. After wandering for three years without home or friends, he
became sick and unable to proceed on his journey. He was kindly
cared for, by one of the fiontiersmen, until he Avas able to go on;
and then travelling, until he was again exhausted, he stopped at
a house and requested a night's lodging. The lady of the house, at
first, refused, but noticing his forlorn and feeble condition, finally
consented to grant his request. In conversation with this lady that

162

niglit, he discovered that she was his mother, whom he had not seen in
13 years, his parents having in the meantime, without his knowledge,
removed from N. Y. to Ohio. He remained with his parents until
his marriage with Miss Craig, when he removed to Connersville,
Ind., and tlience to Harrisburgh, where his first wife died ; he then
removed to Richmond, Ind., where he married Lusena King and where
six of his children were born. In 1838, he removed to Lerov, Ills.,
where his second wife died, leaving eight small chn. He followed farm-
ing after his unsuccessful fortune hunt. His lemains rest by those of
his second wife, Lucena, in the Oak Grove ceraeterv at Leroy, Ills.

(806) LUCRETIA YORK BUCK, b. near Trumansburgh, N.
Y., April 4, 1879 ; d. at Cleves, Ohio, Sept., 1839; m. May 7, 1823
John D. Matson, b. at Cleves, Ohio., May 26, 1796; d. at Cleves,'
Ohio, Jan}^ 17, 1876. Lucretia York Buck possessed in a large de-
gree those estimable qualities of head and heart which constitute a
truly lovable wife, mother and neiglibor. He liusband, John D.
Matson, was of honorable English lineage; his father was among
the most active and respected citizens of Oliio, having hekl the of-
fice of Justice of the Peace there in 1812. The son John D. was a
man of energy, perseverance and strict integrity, greatly respected
by his neighbors who elected him Justice of the Peace for Hamilton
County in 1864 and 1867. During the war he was several time
nominated for office without his consent, but, being an ujiswerving
Democrat, was defeated in a strong Republican district. He never
aspired to political office. He was a great reader and well informed
on all tlie questions of the day. By industry and ecouomy he ac-
cumulated land rapidly and before his death gave to his children
1200 acres besides town lots and other valuable property at Cleves.
Though not a churchgoer or creed server, he Avas a man of convic-
tions on religious subjects and gave liberally to religious and edu-
cational objects. In 1867 he deeded the Board of Education of
Miami Township, Hamilton County, a tract of land for school pur-
poses on condition that the citizens of the neighborhood should
have the right to hold religious or political meetings in the buildings
to be erected thereon. He was temperate in his habits and physi-
cally strong. About a year before his death his eyesight almost
completely failed him. He died of old age and was buried beside
his wife and parents in the Matson burial ground, 100 yards from
his old home at Cleves, Ohio.

(807) HOMER BUCK; b. near Trumansburgh, N. Y., May 8,

163

1799 ; d. at Wapella, lUis., Nov. 22, 1878 ; m. Feby. 27, 1823, Mary
Jeffrey (dr. of William and Ruth Jeffrey) ; b. in Monmouth County,
N. J., Nov. 6, 1805 ; Homer Buck followed farming until eighteen
years of age, when he learned the trade of a tanner. Having married
in 1823, he plied his trade industriously in Fayette County, Ind.
Here he pursed his calling until 1813, when having saved some money
he purchased a farm near Wapella in Dewitt County, on which he re-
sided and pursued farming sucessfully until his death. His wife, Mary
Jerffey emigrated with her parents from New Jersey to New York in
1806, when she was six months old. When fifteen years of age she
removed with her parents, to Fayette County, Indiana, where three
years later, she Avas joined in wedlock to Homer Buck by Rev. Mr.
Thomas, a prominent Baptist clergyman. Both were respected
and loved by a large circle of friends and neighbors. They early
joined the Presbyterian Church at Wapella, in which Homer re-
mained an active member until his deatli, and was for many years
a leading elder. Although a stiff Presbyterian, Homer took the
liberal side of all the great questions of the day. He and his
family were strong Republicans and Unionists, two of the sons
giving their lives as a sacrifice on tlie altar of their country. Mary
(Jeffery) Buck still survives her honored husband, wearing lightly
the burthens of her more than four score years of earthly pilgrimage.
(808) HIRAM BUCK, b. near Trumansburgh, N. Y., March 20,
1801 ; m. April 5, 1827, Nancy Kerr, (daughter of Capt. John Kerr)
b. in New Jersey, December 16, 1806. They are both living at
Leroy, McLean County, Illinois, having passed the 60th year of their
married lives. For several years after his arrival in Ohio, Hiram
spent his time in farming and flat boating on the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers. In 1833 he went to McLean County, 111., and was one of
the pioneers in developing that rich section of country. The State had
then 150,000 acres of unreclaimed land, of which Hiram purchased,
and stdl owns, several hundred acres of the most productive and
valuable. Mr. Buck is vvliiit may bi termed a self mttde man. He
has grown up with the country, and by industry and persever-
ance has become wealthy. H.^ is one of the most prominent and
highlv respected men in the County and State where he lives.
Although farming and stock raising have been the principal occu-
pations of his life, he is well informed on all the current toj^ics of
the day. He has taken a deep interest in State and National affairs,
and the men who have managed them. He knew and was an inti-

164

mate friend of Judge David Davis, from 1836, and knew Abraham
Lincoln intimately, from 1833 until his death. He speaks of fifteen
years of neighborly acquaintance with President William Henry
Harrison. He has voted seventeen times, the Whig and Republican
tickets, for President. He was Postmaster under Adams, Jackson,
Van Buren, Harrison, Taylor and Polk, served as Justice of the
Peace 18 j^ears, as County Judge of McLean Count}" 8 years, and
as Town Supervisor 4 years. He can well recollect the last years
of Jefferson's administration, and the War of 1812, in which three
of his brothers served. He has been a patron of education,
and has given bountifully to assist the spread of knowledge.
He is now Trustee of the State Industrial University,
at Champaigne, Ills., and also Trustee of Lombard Univer-
sity, at Galesbnrgh, Ills. At the age of 87, he says his
health is as good as ever. He sa3's, " I have not given
" up my place as a farm hand, although I had rather take
" the easier part, when I can ; I plowed corn the past five weeks on
" foot, and went my rounds with the boys." His wife, the daughter
of a E-evolutiouary soldier, w^ho emigrated from N. J. to O, in 1810,
IS now eighty-two years of age, and, although her memory has be-
come somewhat treacherous, and she no longer manages her house,
she is quiet and still, and enjoys life better than tlie majority of
women at 60 vears of age. Mr. Buck and his family of^sous and
daughters all live in the same neighborhood, so near together, that
he says " I can see them all in an hour."

(809) ELIZABETH BUCK, b. near Trumansburgh, N. Y., Oct.
14, 1803; m. xipril 7, 1827, Aribert Gazley, b. in Dutcljess County,
N. Y., Dec. 16, 1797 ; d. at Cincinnati, C, May 23, 1884. Elizabeth
inherited largely, the disposition and characteristics of her mother.
Among these were, pluck and determination, — qualities which al-
ways iurnish a wife and mother with a most formidable equipment,
to cope with the innumerable obstacles she must meet in her patli-
wa}^ of duty. While living with her parents near Cincinnati,
Elizabeth first met her future husband, Aribeit Gazley, who
had but recentl}^ emigrated from Dutchess County, N. Y,
The twain, after a brief courtship, were m, early in April,
1827. The counntry around about Cincinnati, Avas still
comparatively a wilderness. Land w;is however cheap, and
the broad Ohio River adjacent, furnished a fair market for
wood and timber, with the money for which the settler, by dint of

165

hard labor and exposure, might, iu time, pay for it No sooner had
the marriage knot been tied than the young couple shouldered their
scanty household outfit and plunged into the wilderness about
fifty miles below Cincinnati, in what is now Switzerland County,
Ind., bent upon carving out a home for themselves and their pos-
terity. They found a parti}' cleared but abandoned tract, which
tliey purchased and settled down to housekeeping after a fashion.
Tlie husband shouldered his axe and chopped wood, whieh, with a
yoke of cattle, he hauled to the river bank and sold to the steam-
boat craft plying up and down the Ohio, devoting the proceeds to
paying for his land. The dock from which he shipped his wood
took the name of Gazley's Lauding, which it retained as late as 1850.
It was as well known to boatmen and travellers as any place on the
river. Old boatmen still living are walling to testify that Mr. Gazely
always supplied good wood from his yards at honest prices. Later
on in life he conducted the mercantile business with success, pur-
chasing his goods in New York principalh'. Besides performing all
the duties of a prudent and industrious housekeeper, Elizabeth did
her full share of outside work. Her husband ahvays bore witness,
with pride, that she did full as much as he did towards pa3dng for
the farm. She usually had butter, milk, eggs and other farm pro-
ducts which she sokl to the boatmen for cash, this being at
that time about the only market for such products, and the proceeds
usually went to liquidate the farm and other debts. Her wise coun-
sel and words of encouragement greatly aided her husband in fight-
ing the battle of life. In 1867, she and her husband removed to
Cincinnati, where Mrs. Guzley still resides, with their only son
Carter. At this present writing (1885) she is, both bodily and men-
tally, in excellent health, and has undertaken a visit to her relatives
iu Illinois. In 1884, Mr. Gazley was stricken with paralysis, which
confined him to his room, and seriously impaired his mental
powers ; he continued to grow weaker, both physically and men-
tally, until the 23d of May, 1884, when he breathed his last, with-
out a struggle.

(81C) MORTON BUCK, b. near Trumausburgh, N. Y., Aug. 30,
1806 ; m. Feb. 24, 1832, Rebecca Aunesley Johnson ; b. in Seneca
County, N. Y., Feb. 6, 1812. They are both living at Fort Madison,
Keokuk County, Iowa. Morton remained at home, an apprentice
to the farming business, until he passed his 24th year, when he
married and settled on a farm not far from the parental homestead

166

Here lie remained until March, 1848, when he sold out, and removed
with his famil}' of seven children to the vicinity of Fort Madison,
Lee County, Iowa. This, then comparative!}' wild country, has
now become one of the richest agricultural sections of the great
West. Here he purchased 350 acres of new land, on the bank
of the Mississippi river, which by hard labor and economy
he, in time, reclaimed and paid for, and on a part of whch, he and
his venerable partner for life, live to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
He has been a laboring farmer, and never had the speculative fever.
His life has passed quietly and without friction. Having attended
closely to business, no exciting event has occurred in his life to
furnish materials for an elaborate biographical sketch. Though he
and his wife are nearing the four score milepo'st of life's track, they
are both quite robust. His children are well to do m the world,
and own the farms on which they respectively live. No higher
compliment can be paid to manhood and good citizenship, than that
which they may be justly paid to Morton Buck, viz : — That he never
was sued, never sued anyone, and owes no man anything but good
will. Among his neighbors he is known as Brother Buck, and the
title is not an empty one. None of his immediate descendants have
ever paid tribute to either the tobacconist, or the liquor dealer, a
fact which ought to redound their eternal credit. While his chil-
dren and grandchildren, do not boast of having added lustre to the
family name, they can nevertheless point with honest pride, to the
fact, that they have never tarnished it. Morton Buck was reared
in the Presbyterian faith, but latterly leans strongly to Universalism,
to which latter denomination his wife adheres.

(811) JUDSON BUCK, b. near Truinansburgh, N. Y., Aug. 2.3,
1808 ; d. at Waynesville, Ills., July 18, 1880 ; m. Nov. 17, 1888,'
Hannah Johnson, b. Sept. 27, 1808; d. at Waynesville, Ills., Sept. 17
1878. Judson Buck, at the age of ten, removed with his parents
to Ohio, where he early learned the trade of a blacksmith. This
he followed for several years, in connection with farming, in Fav-
ette County, Ind.; in 1835, having saved enough to buy a home, he
removed with his wife and children to Switzerland County, in that
State, where he bought a small farm, on which he remained unti\
1850, when his farm becoming too small for the needs of his laro-e
family, he removed to Waynesville, Dewitt County, Ills., where he
bought a large farm known as the "Busli Farm," on which he resi-
ded until his death, and which his sons still occui)y. By industry

167

and economj^ he paid for his farm, and became " well oflf." Like
his brothers, he had a reputation for honesty and fair dealing. As
a farmer, he was one of the "early and late" kind. Nevertheless,
he was a great reader, and found much time to indulge in books.
He rejoiced iu a retentive memory, and loved argument, for which
he was always ready, on almost any topic of the day. He attached
himself to no church, but always championed intellectual liberty
and progression in all things. Sliortly before his death, he divided
his lands among his chiklren, to prevent wrangling after he should
depart.

About noon on July 17, 1880, while on his wa}- in
his buggy to visit his son, and Avhile aj^parently in
perfect health, he was stricken with parah'sis. He

lingered until 2 P. M. the next day, and then passed
awa\'^ quitelv. The funeral services were conducted at the house
of his son, from whicli a large concourse of neighbors, friends and
relatives followed his remaina to the grave. His wife Hannah
Johnson, was born in Monmouth Countv, N. J , and earlv emigrated
with her parents to Faj-ette County, Indiana. She was a woman of
strong mind and pleasing manners, a kind hearted and affectionate
wife, mother and neighbor. In early life she became a Baptist but
latter on, that creed becoming too narrow for her, she embraced
Universalism.

May U, 1810 ; m. (1) March 29, 1832, Harriet L. Smith, b. Oct. 14,
1818; d. at Wapella, 111., Jan. 22, 1852; m. (2) March 20, 1852, Eliza
Ed^n, b. Sept. 21, 1818. Address Wapella, Dewitt County, 111.
While a y<iung man and some time prior to his marriage, lie made
his home with liia sister, Elizabeth Gazley. He began life as a flat-
boat hand on the Ohio river, an occu|)ation for which he was pecu-
liarily fitted, and soon ranked as a " first class pilot." This business
(;f piloting boats he continued some time after his marriage, and
until his brother Asaph persuaded him to relinquish it and go into
partiiershi]! with him, in the management of a farm onHogan Creek,
Dearborn ('onnty, Ind., where Asaph was also, at that time, practic-
ing law. About this time he had seriously involved himself pecu-
niarily by endorsing paper for some of his friends, so that the part-
nership with Asaph was carried on without writings. Asaph, by
his will, left all the partnership assets (whi(di stood in his name) to
his wife, with a request that she should settle with Lewis, which

168

she failed to do, and consequently Lewis lost all lie had put into the
scheme. He then bought 120 acres of land for which he paid, but
soon after sold it and removed to his present location. He has
always been a hard-working man, honest and generous to a fault,
always trying to help some one else. The loss of his son Peter, to
whom he was greatly attached, was a severe stroke to him. Harriet
L. Smith, his first wife, was an intelligent and industrious farmer's
daughter, greatly esteemed by all wiio knew her. Mr. Buck, though
far past the time alloted to man, is hale and hearty.

(813) ASAPH BUCK, b. near Ti-umansburgh, 'n. Y., March 3,
1812; d. at Bluford Landing, Ark., Nov. 20, 1884; m. Nov. 19, 1338,
Eliza B. Morton, b. at Lowell, Mass., about 1814 Asaph Buck d.
childless. He at a very early age, developed a taste for books, and
soon determined to follow the calling of a lawyer. He persevered
in obtaining a good education, read law studiously, and was ad-
mitted to practice, shortly after attaining his majority. He was an
accomplished land surveyor. I should add here — that fifty y^ears
ago, in the section in which lie practiced, a lawyer on a Country
Circuit, must need fully nnderstaud, both the theory and practice
of surveying. A set of surveyors instruments was as necessary to
his calling, as " Chitty on Pleading " or " Starkie on Evidence. "
He was a skillful practitioner, as well as an eloquent pleader, and
had become a rising and popular lawyer, when death suddenly ter-
minated a brilliant career. His loss was sorely felt and deeply
lamented by the bar of his County and his many friends. His re-
mains rest at Patriot, Switzerland County, Ind. His wife m. again
to a Mr. Finamore, and was List reported to be residing at New
Albany, Floyd County, Ind.

Mr. Stone was an industrious, economical and practical farmer;
generous to a fault, lie was always ready to assist the truly needy.
Prompt to fulfill obligations, he commanded and retained the re-
spect and confidence of the community in which he lived. He died
in the full assurance of the Christian's reward. Mrs. Stone was a
woman of more than ordinary intelligence and character, one of
those grand Christian mothers that every person delights to honor
and respect.

(1396) SALMON TURRELL, b. April 26, 1792, d. at Snow Hill,
Ind., March 11, 1854 ; m. March 17, 1816, Hannah Snow, b. at West
Barnstable, Mass., Dec. 28, 1792, d. at Snow Hill, Ind., March 13,
1860.

Pi'of. M. S. Turrell of Cincinnati, O., thus speaks of the couple: —
"Salmon Turrell received a good education and tauglit terms of
" school, both in Susquehanna County, Pennylvania, and nearPough-
" keepsie, N. Y. Being desirous to see the western country, and hav-

216

" ing the address and location of several acquaintances, who had
" settled in the west, he came to the City of Cincinnati in 1815.
" The chain of events which led to his union with Hannah Snow, was
" somewhat peculiar. Hannah Snow was of Puritan ancestrj^ her
" ancestors having been among the first emigrants from England to
" the New World. Her father, Lemuel Snow, was a native of West
" Barnstable, Mass., and was a man of strict integrity, sound judg-
" ment, and self reliance. When a youth, at school, the teacher
" confessed that he was unable to teach him further in arithmetic,
" he took his books home, and bj the light of pine knots, read the
" rules and solved all the problems. A soldier of the Revolutionary
" War, he was at Newburgh, New York, during the last three years
" of the war and marched with the triumphant troops into the City
" of New York upon its evacuation by the British army. He was
" present at the execution of Major x'Vndre at Tappan.

" Having married and settled in West Barnstable, Mass., he was
for a term or two chosen to represent the town in the State Legis-
lature, and in 1813, with his family and some of his neighbors, he
moved West. The emigrant party, consisting of thirty-five per-
sons, while travelling in Connecticut, were told that a Justice of
the Peace, who lived on the road they were travelling, would appre-
hend and fine them for travelling on Sunday. Not wishing to be
detained, they deviated from the road they travelled, and at noon of
a brigiit sunny S.ibbath stopped near a farm house in New Milford,
Conn., for rest and repast. The faini house was the home of Jared
and Hannah Turrell, who were absent from home, being at church,
when the emigrants stopped, but who arrived at home and formed
an acquaintance with the party of emigrants before they resumed
their journey. M(»ving on their weary way westward, they settled
in Franklin County, Ind., about twenty-five miles from the City of
Cincinnati. In 1814:, Mr. Snow went back to Massachusetts to at-
tend to some unsettled business, and stopped at night to enjoy the
hospitality of Deacon Bnck, whose residence was near the home of
Hannah and Jared Tnrrell. Neighbors came in to inquire about
the Western country, among whom was Sabnon Turrell, who took
Mr. Snow's address, and told him he thought of coming West dur-
ing the next year. He carried o;it this design in 1815, riding twelve
hundred miles on horseback, and spent some time in visiting ac-
quaintances, among others the family of Mr. Snow. One result of
his visit was the marriage of Salmon Turrell to Miss Hannah Snow.

217

Thus small e^vents shape our lives. Or is it not rather an xiU wise
Providence who guides us in a way we cannot foresee. Had there
been uo Justice of the Peace in Connecticut who apprehended per-
sons for travelling on Sunday, perhaps Salmon Turrell and Hannah
Snow had never met. Mr. Turrell assisted to remove his parents
to Ohio, and remained there till 1824:, when he removed to Snow
Hill, Franklin County, Ind., where he resided the last fifty years of
his life. Both he and his wife were greatly respected "

Mr. Mills was by occupation a farmer. Mr. Noble was for a time a
hotel keeper, then a farmer, and afterwards, and for the last twenty
years of his life, a merchant at New Lebanon, AVarren County, Ohio,
He was a man of intelligence, business capacity and highly re-
spected. Later in life, he dabbled in politics, was a Justice of the
Peace, and for two terms (1845 and 1846), represented his County
in the lower branch of the State Legislature.

1797; d. at Michigan City, Ind., Jan. 24, 1838 (or Feb. 11, 1837). Mr.
Foster was named after Seneca, the heathen philosopher, and his
\>ife after the philosopher's wife Pauline, although they were boru
and reared a thousand miles apart. Mr. Foster was a farmer by
occupation, and a man of good character and judgment. Mr.s. Fos-
ter was a woman of intelligence and culture, given to writing poetry.
Some of her effusions are still in the possession of her descend-
ants. Both herself and husband were highly respected.

Clark, 1). in Somerset County, N. J., Feb. 20, 1801 ; tl. July 24, 1884,
at Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Clark was taken by liis parents from New
Jersey to Hamilton County, Ohio, when but a year old. Early in
life he learned the trade of a bricklayer. Later he took up school
teaching, then painting, and still later became a contractor and
builder. He was elected Justice of the Peace, and held mau}^ po-
sitions of importance in the Courts, among which were those of
Clerk in the Court of Common Pleas, Auditor's and Recorder's offi-
ces, and in the U. S. Marshal's office. He was also, at one time.
Chief Journal Clerk of the Probate Court under Probate Judge E.
r. Noyes, who became Governor of 01) io, and subsequently, by the
appointment of President Hayes, Minister to Paris. After their
marriage, the couple made their home in that beautiful and invit-
ing, but then heavily timbered region, a mile north of Pleasant
Ridge, and seven miles from Cincinnati. Here they resided until
1855, when they removed to Cincinnati. Two years after her mar-
riage, Mrs. Clark joined the Baptist Church, but on her removal to
Cincinnati connected herself with the Presbyterian Church, with
which she remained in close communion until her death.

To great cheerfulness, she joined all domestic virtues and a most
unassuming tyjie of piety. Mr. Clark joined the Baptist Church in
1843, in which he was an elder, but with his wife joined the Piesby-
terian on his removal to Cincinnati. He was an humble, consistent,
faithful and earnest Christian. He was noted for his dignity, pru-
dence and firmness. A large proportion of the attendance at his
funeral were of the " Pioneer Association." who held him in high
esteem. Both he and Mrs. Clark, were distantly related to Hon.
Wm. M. Evarts, U. S. Senator from New York, and Mr. Clark
through the Maxwells of New Jersey, was one of the heirs of estate
commoidy known as the " Mercer Estate." Both are buried in
Spring Grove Cemetery at Cincinnati, Ohio.

is from The NobJewUle Independent of April 29, 1875 : —

"Judge E. S. Stone died on Monday night, about 11 o'clock, aged
62 years. His illness was of but a few da3's' duration. The Judge
had overworked himself on Frulay last fighting the fire which had
been devastating things on his farm. On Saturday he was taken
with a chill from which he never recovered.

In the fall of 1837, he was married to Lucy Ann Moffit, daughter
of Dr. Joseph Moffit, formerly of Connersville, Indiana, who died
in 1846. He was married again to Caroline CogswHll, daughter of
Francis B. Cogswell, late of this place in the year 1847.

Judge Stone made a profession of religion about 30 years ago,
and was a zealous member of the M. E. Church.

Judge Stone came to Noblesville iu the beginning of the year
1838, and entered into partnership in the ])ractice of law with Jacob
Robins, Esq. After tlie death of John Hutchens, Esq., the only
lawyer in the place besides the firm of Robins & Stone, the partner-
ship was dissolved.

In the year 1811, he was electee! County Auditor, which office he
filled for one term. He was elected Common Pleas Judge of Ham-
ilton and Tipton Counties in the year 1852.

We are mIso informed he represented the ])eople in the Legisla-
ture, in which position he acquitted himself with honor.

Besides these high positions he has filled many other minor offi-
ces, always rendering general satisfaction. He was highly respected
by his fellow citizens and associates, and his untimely death is de-
plored b}^ all, and well may it be said that this community has lost
another good and kind husband, father and citizen.

The funeral took place from his residence on Wednesday, at 2
o'clock, which was very imposing.

The following is the proceedings of the Hamilton County Bar,
held on Wednesday-, at 10 o'clock. Short speeches were made bj'
the following members :

The following gentlemen were appointed pall-bearers : Judge
Craven, Judge Garver, T. J. Kane, Joel Stafford, Bobt. Graham, A.

was unanimously adopted : —

On behalf of the committeee appointed by 3'our honor on Tuc^s-
day for that purpose, I most respectfully submit for the considera-
tion of the Court ;iud Bar, the following preamble and resolutions,

Bemauks by Judge Garver.

In support of the motion I feel constrained to say that I can
scarcely realize the fact to be, that, our esteemed fellow-citizen and
dearly beloved brother, the Hon. Earl S. Stone, has been called
from among us, never, never again to mingle with us here. It
seems as but yesterday since he snt in the chair now occupied by
your honor, temporarily; trul}^ we feel now that in the midst of life

222

we are in death. I liave known JuJ<^e Stone intimately in all re-
lations of life, public and private for more than a third of a cen-
tury ; and I have testimony from my inmost heart that he was the
noblest work of God, " an honest man," a perfect gentleman of the
old school in the trne sense of the word ; a profound jurist and an
able advocate. So fine was his sense of feelings, so kind in his
nature of the feelings of mankind that while he was the Judge of
our Court if any fault he had at all, it was that in rendering his
decisions in favor of the successfiil party ; he would in order to
lessen the weight of the judgment, on the losing party, find the
smallest possible amount that the law and evidence would warrant
iu the case.

In his practice so kindly and gentlemanly was his deportment to
the opposing counsel that his acts were sometimes by some sup-
posed to be a want of manhood ; but woe be to the man who would
thus undertake to trample upon his rights, his possessions of self
defence would flash as the lightning, and with the strength of a
giant his antagonist would soon be made to feel his native power.

But why need I further speak of this great man when all of my
brethren knew him so well. I call him great because he was good,
I feel almost as if one of my own household had fallen ; he has
gone to a brighter and a better world. Peace, peace, to his ashes."

Additions and Corrections Keceived Up to Date of Going to

Press.

Since penning the statement made in lines 20, 21 and 22, on page
28, the writer has ascertained the name of the first wife of Emanuel
Buck (1) was Mary Kirby. John Kirby emigrated to America from
Rowington, near Kenilworth, in Warwickshire, England, in 1643,
and settled at Pl3'mouth, Mass. He removed thence to Wethers-
field, Conn., in 1645-6, where he died in 1677, leaving his Avidow
Elizabeth and a large family of chihlren snrviving. One of these
children was Mary Kirby, afterwards the wife of Emanuel Buck (1).
The writer has just struck a clue from which he hopes to discover
the name of Emanuel's first wife, as well as the exact locality from
which Emanuel came.
