My husband's maternal grandmother was a Buck. We have been to Bucksport, but not Buckfield. I would like to learn more about the "book" you spoke about relating the genealogy: "Buck ancestor came to America on the Increase in 1635, William Buck." My husband is a Stetson from Kenduskeag, ME. His father, Kenneth, was from Bangor. George Plummer Stetson married Effie Buck in 1894 in Old Town,ME and at some point they moved to Bangor. They had two children, Kennneth, and Gladys. I knew very little about Effie until yesterday when I had a wonderful e-mail from a "Buck." She knew of the family and tells me that Grammie Buck's dad was Bainbridge Buck. She also has a picture of her in 1910 in Abbott, ME. My husband says his g. was absoulutely the most wonderful woman! Part of the Buck personality, I suspect. I have many of her homemade dollies and tatted pillowcases put safely away. My husband loved her very much, but she died when he was about 10. As we have much documentation about the Stetson family, I would like to complete the Buck side of the family. If I could trace the line back to William Buck that would be fabulous because the Stetson's go back to about 1640. The first Stetson here was Coronet Robert Stetson. He owned a sawmill in Norwell, MA. We go the Stetson reunion every year there. It is just wonderful. Do the Buck's have a family reunion? I would very much appreciate anything that might be useful to me in my search. I was astounded that after posting a messge for 3 years on this board that it was answered! I enjoyed reading your "posting." MaryAnn
