I am searching for information on the ancestors and some descendants of Daniel BUIK, who first appeared in Rowan County, NC in 1778. He was German and wrote and spoke only broken English. I believe that this Daniel is the father of my earliest known ancestory Abraham BUCK who was born 19 January 1765, probably in the area of NC that became TN. Daniel is found in the 1790 NC census with 2 sons over 16 still at home. I believe this to be my Abraham and whom I believe to be his brother, Christian. Christian bought land as the same creek as Daneil and there is also a deed to Christian from Daniel recorded in Rowan County. There is also a Peggy Buck who married Thomas Avery on 12 May 1797 in Rowan Co, NC. I believe this to be a sister. Abraham married Elizabeth Wagner on February 24, 1789. She ws the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Elie) Harmon Wagner. They were in Monroe Co, TN where they were active in the St. Paul Lutheran Church outside of Madisonville. I am at a loss as to who the father of Daniel could be. The JOhannes Buck family in PA is a possibility but I can't find the connection. Can someone help? I would love to correspond with anyone researching this family. Carmen Carmen Boyd, MS, LPC, RD <[email protected]> Instructor, Biomedical Sciences Department Southwest Missouri State University
