    1. [BUCK-L] Re: Levi Buck Tompkins Cty, NY to Tompkins Twp., MI
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VYG.2ACIB/1265.1.1 Message Board Post: Yes, Daniel W. Buck was the son of Benjamin Buck and Phebe Herrick and has siblings Polly and Asahel, and yes I do have other siblings, records of one of the daughters Louisa Buck in Ingham County, MI state that Benjamin Buck and Phebe Herrick had 16 children. This Daniel W. Buck was married to Sally Garrison, their son Daniel W. Buck married Nancy M. Russell and son Levi who married Loretta Jane Packard are the ones who came to Ingham County, MI, along with a few other children of Daniel and Sally Garrison. Some of the children of Daniel Buck and Sally Garrison did remain in Tompkins County, NY. There are towns called Onondaga, Tompkins, Lansing and East Lansing all in Ingham County, MI. Supposedly these towns were given names by the first settlers of the area and one of the first settlers was a Joseph E. North, who was from Lansing, Tompkins County, NY and had two sons Henry Harrison North and Joshua North that married two Buck sisters, Louisa and Almira Buck daughters of Daniel and Sally Garrison Buck. Henry Harrison North and Almira Buck North arrived first about 1839, while Joshua and Louisa Buck North didn't arrive until about 1841. So possible the NY Bucks from Tompkins and Onondaga Counties are related. Daniel Buck and Sally Garrison did not move to Michigan, but stayed and are buried in East Lansing Cemetery, East Lansing, Tompkins Cty, NY, however Daniel did make a trip over to Michigan and saw that land he had purchased was swamp land, he then turned around and went back to NY, later some of his children arrived and found higher ground in Delhi Twp., Lansing Cty, MI and stayed to raise their families. Hope this has been a little help for you. Thelma
