MArgaret, Thanks again for those census listings......... My beloved Aunt had died in Dec 2000 and left me all kinds of material on our long-ago Buck forebears...... She was a Clayton who never married......... Your listing included the fact that her grandmother Rosa Buck.......had married a Mr. Robert Clayton, owner of a barber "tonsorial" parlor in Roanoke, Va........ He died in Aug 1901... Would you believe that I found a small piece of the cardboard obit/program of his funeral.. All it said was that he was 34 and had died in 01....... His wife, Rosa, lived to be a ripe old age of 90...........and died as late as July 31, 1958........ Her oldest daughter Lugie Buck died at the age of 98.........as late as Mar 1988........and is buried in the "Old City" cemetery in Lynchburg, Va..........supposedly, the last person buried there before it closed to become a National landmark in 1989.......or 1990. So i guess that's history for you right?? Anyway, thanks again...... and keep in touch. Tim P.S. I think I once heard that we were distantly related to Frank Buck, author of "Bring 'em back alive." I'll have to check on that....... Also.........I have some very old saved letters of C.C. Buck writing his sisters back in Maine. C'elia, Octavia, and Capitolia......... they're very old, going back to the 1880's
