I found some information on Josiah BUCK in the Onondaga County Historical Society recently. Maj. Josiah BUCK was born 30 Dec 1767 place unknown and died in Cayuga (likely) or perhaps Onondaga County, NY 19 Sep 1841. He was a surveyor of the Central NY Military tract (about 1790) and Innkeeper (1793) at Elbridge, Onondaga, NY where he was the first white settler in 1793. In 1795 he moved to Scipio Center, Cayuga Co., NY, 10 miles South of the present day Auburn, Cayuga, NY. He had a wife Lucretia (__?__) and a daughter Lucretia born 1789. He may have had other children as there were several listed in the 1810 Scipio Center, Cayuga Co., NY census. His wife Lucretia died in 1808 and he apparently had a second wife Sally. Josiah and Sally and their daughter Lucretia who married a Horace Baker (date not listed) are buried in the Meyers-Wheeler Cemetery (Cayuga Co. NY?) I have been trying to sort out the various BUCK families who came to Central NYS in the 1700 and 1800s. If anyone has further information on this family -- ancestors or descendants, I would like to know where they fit in. Margaret Scheffler
