LOL! While going thru my recently deceased beloved Aunt's letters, I found a reference made to an "Abijah Buck." She had written her great Aunt Miss Lugie Buck Ferguson in 1977 re" some info she had on their mutual ancestors..... A Jonathan Buck and his brother (or maybe father) Abijah Buck. A name like that from that local is too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence don't you think? So we probably are very distantly related.....In fact, my aunt left me some love letters that her gr grandfther wrote over a hundred years ago. His name was Charles Carroll Buck who moved to Lynchburg Va to work as a surveyor......After service in the Civil War (possibly in the ANV) , he later opened up a candy confectioner's store on Main St down there.... He married my great grandmother Miss Mariah Harrison Buck. I believe he died in 1912 or 1916. He had a sister named Capitolia Dunham I believe.....Would you believe that I still have her and her husband'a calling card after all these decades!?!?!? OVer a hundred 120 years easily.... OK...if any of this seems even remotely familiar, please let me know and keep in touch.....we probably might have so much to chat about online..... OK..thanks again for your swift reply and query to my posting, I am, Sincerely, Mr. Tim Jameson.
