Surnames: Buck/Sweeney Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VYG.2ACIB/1219 Message Board Post: I'm beginning to think my Buck ancestor just dropped out of the sky into Waterford, Norfolk Cty, Ontario, Canada. His name is Benjamin Barzillai (Barzillai Benjamin) Buck. He was born about 1776. He applied for a land grant from the Crown about 1797 & rec'd 200 acres. (Why?) His sons are Robert, Benjamin & Joseph & his daughters are Marry & Cynthia. A wedding record for Joseph & Sally Sweeney states that he is English. I know nothing of spouse or parents or origin of Barzillai. HELP Thanx!
