Hi John.... Nice to make your acquaintance! I visited Maine several years ago and ran across a whole bunch of BUCKs! It was a lot of fun talking to them. I wasn't heavily into genealogy at the time, and did not keep track of them, but sure enjoyed meeting a lot of very nice people. My family "probably" came from Connecticut to Pennsylvania, then in the late 1700's migrated to Tennessee, and in the mid 1800's, to Illinois - My father left Illinois and raised his family in Madison, Wisconsin. I came to Cleveland in 1969 to take a job, and have stayed here, much to my surprise! Best wishes for success on your BUCK line! If it ever gets into Pennsylvania let me know.... We have had a devil of a time trying to find the parents of my gggg grandfather, Jonathan Buck, born 12 January 1755. He married Zuriah Covalt, and they lived in Bedford, now Fulton County, Pennsylvania, until the big move to Tennessee in 1791.....

You and I sent some Email a couple of years ago. Our Bucks came from Bucksport. Franklin A. Buck got on a ship in Bath and sailed around South America stopping for the Gold Rush in Ca. Stayed awhile where he met Levi Strauss. He got in the lumber business and built tents with Levi. Then moved on to Seattle and got into the lumber and got his grubstake to go to the Yukon gold rush. After that back to Seattle and then to Alameda Ca where Rufus Buck and Rufus buck jr.(my father) started from. I knew a John Buck that lived in Chicago and sold Trucks back in the 70's for GMC and White Motor Trucks. Any relation? See ya. -----Original Message----- From: John Buck, Jr. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 09:24 To: [email protected] Subject: [BUCK-L] RE: Happy New Year! Hi John....
