Data from Aunt Evelyn - From the Ithaca, NY Historical Societyrecords- "The Bucks and Their Name" - Some authorities claim that thesurname of Buck was given to the original bearer because of somecharacteristic of his that was like that of a buck or deer. Others saythat it was derived from the Saxon boc, meaning "beech tree" and wasgiven to its original bearer because of the situation of his propertynear or on land which was covered by beech trees. The name wasfrequently found on ancient records in the various forms of Boc, Bock,Bouc, le Buc, Buch, Buc, Bucq and many others.
One of the most remote of the ancestors of the family is believed tohave been Lyderic, upon whom King Dagobert of Austrasia in the year621 A.D. bestowed the government and fief of Flanders and surname ofle Buc. Lyderic was the father of the fifteen children and hisdescendants governed Flanders for six generations after his death in640. The line of descent from Lyderic Le Buc was through his son,Antoine, who had Bouchard, who had Estroede, who had Lyderic, who hadIngleran,
who had Odsere. A descendant of this line fought under Gilbert deGant, Earl of Flanders in the battle of Hastings, in 1606, and it isbelieved that at this time the family located in England.
One Rudolphus le Buc fought for Henry the First against the Scots andwas rewarded for his services by grants of extensive lands inYorkshire. He was the father of Gocelinus le Buc. In 1215 King John ofEngland received help from the Earl of Flanders in the form of Walterle Buc of Brabant, a descendant of another branch of the family of thele Bucs of Flanders. This Walter later made his home in England, wherehe was given large landed estates in the counties of York and Lincoln.In the reign of Edward the First the "Hundred Rolls" contained thenames of Sir John le Buc of Rhodes, Roger and Henry le Buc ofYorkshire, John le Buc of Suffolk County, Richard le Buc of Lyttonstonand Brompton, Robert, William and Nicholas le Buc of Brompton, Hugoand Peter le Buc of Wiltshire, Walter le Buc of Walton and Edric leBuc of Norfolk County. The descendants of these lines of the familymade their homes in still other parts of England, as well as inScotland, Wales and Ireland. And at a much later date some of themembers of the family emigrated to America. One of the first of thesewas the Reverend Richard Buck, who came to Virginia in 1609 to aid thesuffering colony at Jamestown. He is believed to have come fromLondon, England, and he brought with
him his wife and their eldest child. His children, the last three ofwhom were born at Jamestown, were Maria, Gershom, Bonnoni, and Peleg.
Another early colonist was William Buck who came with his son Roger toMassachusetts in 1635 and settled at Cambridge. Roger later removed toWoburn. He was the father by his wife Susanna of Samuel, John,Ephraim, Mary, Ruth, Elizabeth and Lydia. Of the daughters of Roger,Ruth married Thomas Baverick and Elizabeth married Joshua Wood. Lydiawas married but the name of her husband is not known. Samuel, eldestson of Roger, married Rachel Levin in 1669 and was the father by herof Nathaniel, Hannah, Rachel, Anna, Sarah and Samuel. John, the secondson of Roger, died unmarried, but the youngest son Ephraim married in1671 Sarah Brooks and in later life made his home at Charlestown. Hisprogeny were Sarah, John, Ephraim, Samuel, Eunice, Ebenezer and Mary.
One Isaac Buck emigrated to Boston in 1635 and was followed shortlyafter by his wife Frances Marsh. Their chldren were Thomas, Joseph,Benjamin, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Mehitable, Ruth and Deborah. Of thedaughters of Isaac, Elizabeth married Robert Whitcomb, Mehitablemarried Stephen Crittenten, Ruth married Joseph Garret and Deborahmarried Henry Merritt. In 1638 two brothers, John and James, came toHingham, Mass. The descendants of James are not
recorded but John had issue by his wife Elizabeth Holbrook ofElizabeth, Mary, Joseph, John, Hannah, Susanna, Benjamin, Deborah,Robert and Rachel. In the latter part of his life he
removed to Scituate and still later married a widow named Sarah FaunceDotey.
Sometime before 1650 Emanuel (or Enoch) Buck settled at Wethersfield,Conn. The Henry Buck who was resident in the same town about the sametime may have been his brother. They are both believed to have beenfrom Norfolk County, England. Emanuel had by his first wife Sarahthree children, Ezekiel, John and Jonathan, and by his second wife,Mary, he had Mary, David, Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, Thomas andAbigail. The records of many of these children are obscure. David,seventh child of Emanuel, was married in 1690 to Elizabeth Hubbert ofGuilford, Conn. They were the parents of Elizabeth, Ann, Daniel,David, Mary, Josiah, Joseph, John , Eunice and Mabel. Henry,
probably brother of Emanuel, married Elizabeth Churchill and had issueby her of Henry, Samuel, Martha, Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Ruth andMehitable. Henry, eldest son of Henry of Wethersfield,
removed to Fairfield, NJ in 1692 and was the father there by his wifeRachel of Henry, Ephraim, Jeremiah, Dayton and Judith. Samuel, son ofHenry of Wethersfield, was married in 1690 to
Sarah, daughter of the Deacon Samuel Butler, by whom he had Isaac,Dorothy, Peletiah, Sarah, Elizabeth, Samuel and Martha.
Still another early settler was Ephraim Buck who made his home atWoburn, where he married in 1671 Sarah Brooks, who was the mother byhim of Sarah, Ephraim, John (died young), John,
Samuel, Eunice, Ebenezer and Mary.
The descendants oif the these various brances of the family in Americahave spread to
practically every State of the Union and have aided as much in thegrowth of the country as their ancestors aided in the founding of thenation. They have been noted for their courage,
honesty, industry, ambition, strength of character, and generosity.Among those of the name who fought as officers in the War of theRevolution were Lt. Asahel of Pa., Lt. Josiah of Ct., Col. Jonathan ofMass., Lt. Joseph of NJ and Ensign Stephen of NC. Charles, John,James, William and Henry were some of the Christian names most highlyfavored by the family for its male members.
A few of the many members of the family who have distinguishedthemselves in America in more recent times are: Carl Darling Buck ofMaine, philologist, 1866- Dudley Buck of Ct., organist and composer,1839-1909 Jirah Dewey Buck of NY, physician, 1838- 1916.
One of the most ancient of the many coats of arms given to the Buckfamily at various times in its history is that given to Lyderic leBuck in 621 AD. It is described as follows: Arms---" Garonny or andazure of ten peices in the middle of escutcheon gules." Practicallyall of the more recent
coats of arms of the family contain one or more bucks or deer.
