Buck Chittenden Holbrook by Jeff Linscott Fri Feb 21 1992 ------------------------------- From History of Scituate, Mass.: pg 229: "Lieut. Isaac BUCK, Blacksmith, was a brother of John, and was in Scituate before 1647. He purchased the house of Jeremiah Burroughs, which had been that of Resolved White at Belle house neck. In 1660, he built a house near the Harbour, on the Buck field, so called even now [1831]. The house of Anthony Waterman, lately deceased, occupies the spot. He was a very useful man, often engaged in publik business, and the Clerk of the Town for many years. He was a Lieut. in Philip's war, and repulsed the Indians with great bravery from Scituate in March 1676. He died intestate 1695. Commissioners divided his estate as follows: `To Frances the widow the house on which she now lives. To Thomas, the land where his house stands. To the heirs of the second son James, &c. To Joseph - to Jonathan and Benjamin (sons of Lieut. B.) To Elizabeth, wife of Robert WHITCOMB. To Mehitable, wife of Stephen CHITTENDEN. To Ruth, wife of Joseph Garrett, and Deborah wife of Henry Merritt.' Besides these children there is a son Isaac amongst the baptisms: but he may have died early. A son John is also incidentally mentioned in other records. He left ason Dea. Isaac, who was the last of the name in Scituate. He lived at the north-east of Hoop-pole hill, thirty rods south of late Judge Nathan CUSHING's residence. He deceased more than seventy-five years since." [NOTE: the names WHITCOMB, CUSHING, CHITTENDEN & BUCK are in some of my family histories as well] pg 232: "Isaac CHITTENDEN was one of the men of Kent [meaning of Kent County, England]. His house lot assigned in 1633, was on Kent street. He bore arms 1643. He came with his father Thomas CHITTENDEN, who was one of the Conihassett partners in 1646. Thomas deceased in 1669, leaving legacies to his sons Isaac and Henry, and to Benjamin, son of Isaac. Isaac, jr. married Martha, (daughter of widow Anna Vinall), 1646. His children, Sarah and Rebecca born 1646, Mary 1648, Israel 1651, Stephen 1654, Elizabeth 1658, Isaac 1663. Isaac, jr. was an active and useful man, often a deputy to Court. He fell in repulsing the Indians from the Town in 1676. Benjamin, son of Isaac, sen. fell with Capt. Pierce in the battle of Rehoboth, 1676, and left no family. Sarah, daughter of Isaac, sen., married Capt. Anthony COLLAMORE, 1666. Isarel, son of Isaac, jr., married Deborah, daughter of Rev. Nicholas Baker 1678. His sons were Nicholas botn 1678, Isaac 1681, and Israel 1690. Stephen, son of Isaac, jr., married Mehitabel BUCK 1679. His son Thomas born 1683. [Notice that above you have Stephen the son of Thomas. Here he is the son of Isaac Jr.] Thomas, son of Stephen, married Elizabeth Woodworth 1707, his sons Thomas born 1718, Stephen 1722. Israel, son of Israel, married Mary PICKELS 1713, (and afterward the widow of Benjamin Turner and mother of Capt Elisha Turner). His sons were Israel born 1715, Isaac 1719, Nicholas 1721, Nathaniel 1724. Isaac, son of Israel above, had a son Calvin 1746, and removed to Malden [Ma.]. Nathaniel, son of Israel, had a son Nathaniel born 1751, and Isaac 1753, who removed to Princeton. Nathaniel last named lived at the mouth of the second Herring brook, and married Ruth Foster, (now the wife of Dea. Elisha James). Israel born 1715, (son of Israel), married Deborah Vinal 1741. His son Israel married Abigail Turner 1763. He was the sixth generation, and the last that occupied the original house lot on Kent street. He sold to the family of Vinal in 1800, and removed, we believe, to Charlestown." [NOTE: the names COLLAMORE and PICKELS are also in my family histories.] pg 286: "Capt. William HOLBROOK came into Scituate 1660, and purchased lands in Conihassett, adjoining the farm of Capt. Michael Pierce, on the south-west. His house was on the south side of the Cohasset road, a half mile west of Capt. Pierce's. His father Thomas had lands in Scituate 1649, but resided in Weymouth; Capt. William died here 1699. His sons settled here, viz. Samuel, whose son Samuel was born 1683, (which later married Jane CLAP 1708). John (son of Capt. William) had a son John born 1686; he had six daughters: John, his son, married Sarah CHITTENDEN 1709. Persis, daughter of Capt. William, married John Farrow 1696." [NOTE: names HOLBROOK and CLAP are also in some of my family histories.] Well, that's about it. As you can see, there was something here for you. All of the information in the brackets are my own comments. Everything else in between the quotes are exactly as out of "History of Scituate Mass." by Samuel Deane. I'm sure you also noted the discrepancy between your information and what was in the book about Stephen Chittenden. I would definetly use a second or third source on that particular item before I would trust the information from this book though. I have found at least one error for my HATCH family out of this book and have confirmed it through a couple other sources as well. If he had one error, he could have made more. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � This file is from The Source of Magic, Ridgefield CT � � 203-431-4687, source for genealogy, radio, & Windows � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Date: Tue Mar 31 1992 18:53:00 From: John Buck, Jr. To: Dale Buck Subj: Buck Attr: GENEALOGY ------------------------------- Thanks for "butting in" ! Thanks for your note Dale. I grew up in Wisconsin, my father's family lived in Illinois for about 100 years or so, having come from Tennessee. I recently found a book of BUCK research which begins with Jonathan BUCK, Sr. b.12 January 1755 in Pennsylvania (he settled in Overton County, Tennessee). There are many records of descendents spread out all over the country. I haven't been able to make any connection to the Ohio BUCK family (one fellow lives only a block from me - I really must talk to him one of these days!). The book: A History Of Jonathan and Zuriah Covalt BUCK's Descendants And Allied Families, was compiled by Katherine Raines BUCK - H. C. 71 Box 520 - Alpha, Kentucky - 42603. It's 165 pages and sells for about 35.00. Another resource I found valuable is: The BUCK Surname Booklet - compiled by Paula Perkins Mortensen - 363 South Park Victoria Drive - Milpitas, California - 95035-5708. They sell for $6.00 per volume and there are 8 volumes to date. They publish BUCK related genealogical information and have a query section. I would be happy to send you any information that I have if you think it could be valuable, and I would appreciate seeing what you've collected so far. My address: John Buck, Jr. 1779 Middlehurst Road Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44118-1647 Again, thanks for your note, let me know if you come across anything interesting....... Good luck !

Do you >have any from that area?? Also you mention a book in your note. Does >this book have any info from New England or is it all from Tenn.? John: Thanks for your message. The BUCK side of my family comes from Tennessee, Pennsylvania, then we THINK they probably were in Massachusetts, but haven't been able to make a definite connection. The earliest BUCK relative that I can document is: Jonathan BUCK, SR. b.12 January 1755 (most likely in Bedford County, Pennsylvania). His father is not known for sure, but there is some thought that he may be one of the children of Isaac BUCK and Hannah HICKS. The book I mentioned deals primarily with tracking the descendents of Jonathan BUCK, SR. and his wife: Zuriah COVALT. It was written by Katherine Raines BUCK - H.C. 71 Box 520 - Alpha, Kentucky - 42603; and sells for about 35.00, if I remember correctly. She said that she had a few copies left. My side of the family is not well represented after 1850 in the book, they just didn't know about the members of the family that migrated to Illinois I guess. I've since sent Ms. BUCK the info that I have, and would be happy to send it to you if you would like to have it. We believe that our BUCK ancestors came from England, but don't know for sure. I would love to be able to make the New England connection. Let me know if any of this is of interest to you. John.

Maureen: Please forgive my jumping in here, but BUCK is one of the names on the echo that I try to keep track of... I've been able to trace my BUCK line back to Jonathan BUCK, SR. b.12 Jan 1755 in Penn. (Probably Bedford County - according to Katherine Raines BUCK in her book: A History Of Jonathan and Zuriah Covalt BUCK'S Descendants And Allied Families. We haven't been able to document his parents for certain; but, Katherine Raines BUCK says there is some belief that Jonathan Sr. is the child of Issac BUCK and Hannah HICKS. I suspect that my BUCK line was on the East coast prior to going into Penn. If this looks like an area you'd like to pursue just let me know (I have lots of descendants names).
