Thanks for the reply. As you pointed out, the John Buck that I have may be an error and the Phebe in question is probably the daughter of Israel Buck and Phebe Benedict. The birthdate fits, however, the big problem lies in that she is said to have been born in New Milford, Connecticut. The Phebe Buck that I have as a curious twist. Her son, my gg grandfather, stated in the Census that she was born in Vermont. She, however, stated in a census taken when she was a 76 year old widow, that she was born in New Hampshire! Could it have been that she really didn't know where she was born? She and her husband both died in Parishville, St. Lawrence, NY. The town wasn't founded until 1814. Isreal Buck, husband of Phebe Bendedict, died in Peru, Clinton, NY on 3 Feb 1807, if the IGI is correct. Peru is near Lake Champlain and the area first settled in Northern New York, so it would seem reasonable that the family could have settled here first. I've been a resident of Southern California for many many years, but I was born in Plattsburgh, New York and grew up in New York State, so it is easy for me to visualize the various towns.
