    3. I have been doing a lot of research on Nelson Buck b: 1808 in Chemung County, NY and wondered if anyone knows of sources other than "*The Biographical Record Of Livingston And Woodford Counties Illinois*" that mention the marriage of Nelson Buck to Fidelia Wethey or the birth of their son Oliver P. Buck. Oliver P. Buck lived with his Grandfather Abel Wethey in Port Byron, Cayuga County, NY after the death of his mother Fidelia Wethey in about 1833. Oliver P. Buck was born in about 1832. I have never found a birth record for him. I did find Guardianship records and that he changed his name from Oliver P. Buck to Oliver P. Wethey in 1853. After the death of his Grandfather in about 1836, he lived with his uncle Porter Wethey. Family stories say only that Abel Wethey did not approve of a "Buck", who I believe to be Nelson Buck. According to "*The Biographical Record Of Livingston And Woodford Counties Illinois*", Nelson Buck moved to Illinois after the death of his first wife Fidelia Wethey. Any additional information or possible sources would be much appreciated. Thanks, Erik
