Surnames: Buck Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/MBEXEC/msg/AN/VYG.2ACIB/1533.3 Message Board Post: My little part of the BUCK family is sort of messed up ... we only know Christopher/Christian/Chris Buck was born about 1829, maybe in Bavaria, died in Curwensville, Clearfield County, PA where he owed a farm, married or lived with a Sarah Jane Johnson (?), had one son: Edward Elmer Buck November 29,1870 and died October 28,1955 in Grampian, Clearfield County, PA. Edward ran away from home at a very young age and worked for the railroad for many years before he settled down with Olive and raised a family. I could not find anything on him before the 1920 census ... no records for 50 years ... he started his family late in life, married at 42 ... maybe he had another family? Edward married Olive Belle Johnson and they had 7, maybe 8, children (Les, Russell, Raymond, Elwood, Frederick, Glaydys and Harold). We would love to find out about from Chris and back as we know nothing of this family. Does any of this family sound familar to you? Marie
