Dear List Readers, I would like to find the parents and siblings of Rachell BUCK b. 1708 in New Milford, Litchfield Co. CT. She married on 11 Sep 1729 to Johnathan PIERCE b. 18 Dec 1704, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI. Children born to this couple were Truelove, Jonathon, Rachel, and Lydia. Thank you, Judy Martin <[email protected]>

I think my Bucks helped to settle New Milford. This is what I have on them: Ezekiel, Enoch and Jonathan Buck, (sons of Ezekiel b. 15 Jan 1650 Wethersfield, CT and Rachel b. 19 April 1654 Farmington, CT Andrews Buck m. 18 March 1675 Wethersfield, CT) went to New Milford about 1706. They were the 22nd, 23rd and 24th settlers according to the elders of the town. No one kept records of the actual dates that the settlers arrived. There is a History of New Milford by Samuel Orcutt that gives some information but I haven't verified it. Would love to get ahold of New Milford Vital Records. A lot of my information has been found on the Internet and, therefore, could be questionable. Ezekiel (Jr.) b. 8 Jan 1767 Wethersfield, CT, m. Sarah Bronson of Farmington, CT, 17 Jan 1697/8 by Capt. Thomas Hart in Farmington d. 15 July 1715? New Milford. They had a son named Ezekiel b. 25 March 1699 Wethersfield, CT that m. Lydia Brownson 15 Dec. 1724 New Milford, CT. (There was a sister named Rachel but she was born 23 July 1678 in Wethersfield.) Enoch b. 5 April 1683 Wethersfield, CT m. Mercy Taylor (b. about 1685 Milford, CT) about 1707 in New Milford. Mercy died before 1717 because Enoch m. Mary Beebe (b. 26 Sept 1699 Danbury, CT) New Milford Congregational Church, 2 May 1717. They both died in New Canaan, NY. Jonathan b. 23 July 1679 Wethersfield, CT m. Mary Andrews 4 March 1700 Wethersfield, CT by John Haines, Esq, Justice of the Peace. Jonathan came to New Milford with a family of three or more children. I show most of their children were born in Wethersfield and I have a count of 7 children (Ruth b. 23 Jan 1702/3 Wethersfield m. Nathan Terrill 8 June 1721 New Milford; Jonathan (Jr.) b. 10 Oct 1708 Wethersfield m. Betty Bostwich 9 Jan 1733 New Milford. He d. 23 Nov 1778 and is buried in Armenia NY in the burial ground of church Carmel in the Nine Partners; Ebenezer b. about 6 Jan 1701 or 1706 (need to find his birthplace) m. Abigail Felt (b. 24 Dec 1710 Newbury, MA) 15 Nov 1731 Somers, CT. He died 30 Sept 1762 Havana, Cuba? (need burial place); Mary b. 3 Aug 1714 Wethersfield m. Nathaniel Hollister 29 Dec 1731 New Milford; Moses b. 12 Sept 1711 Wethersfield, christened 16 Sept 1711 Wethersfield, m. Eunice Miles 29 Sept 1730 New Milford; Comfort b. 19 April 1707? ?, m. Willliam Ostrandress of Dutchess Co., NY 2 Jan 1740 New Milford; and Joseph b. 20 June 2706 Wethersfield m.Ann Gould 5 June 1729 New Milford d. 1770 New Milford.). Jonathan joined First New Milford Church in 1718 and his wife, Mary, joined three years later. But this was probably Mary Orcutt, not Mary Andrews. Mary Andrews may have died in 1714. The marriage to Mary Orcutt was on 2 May 1715 in New Milford. They lived on Poplar St., north of William D. Black's farmhouse. I think I have found four more children that are probably Mary Orcutt's children. I haven't gotten any further with Ezekiel Jr. and Enoch but they may be your Rachel's parents. Good hunting and I'd really like to hear from you if you turn up anything. Maybe we have a common ancestor! It sure looks like it from the first names anyway.
