I wrote in over a year ago and didn't get much of any response. The farthest back I can document is with Matthew Buck b. 1780 in VT and wife, Magdalena ?Decker b. 1792 in NY. They wed about 1808 in the Steuben area of NY and then migrated across PA to OH with most, if not all, of their children. They were in Ohio by 1833, since their eldest son wed in Athens Co., OH in that year. Some of Matthew and Delaney's children later moved on from OH to Missouri around the late 1880s. Some of these Buck descendants also moved on to Columbus, OH. I also believe there is a connection between these Bucks and the ones in Meigs Co., OH. I am willing to share what I have.
