52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 70: #79 Martha "Patty" (Phillips) Buck (1757-after 1820)

Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge:  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  I am extending this theme in 2015 to 104 Ancestors in 104 Weeks. Here is my ancestor biography for week #70:

Martha "Patty" Phillips is #79 on my Ahnentafel list, my 4th great-grandmother. She married in 1780 to #78 Isaac Buck (1757-1846).


I am descended through:

*  their daughter #39 Sophia Buck  (1797-1882) who married #38 Thomas Newton (about 1795 to about 1840) in about 1834.  

*  their daughter, #19 Sophia Newton (1834-1923) who married #18 Edward Hildreth (1831-1899), in 1852.  
*  their daughter #9 Hattie Louise Hildreth (1847-1920), who married #8 Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922) in 1874. 
*  their son, #4 Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942), who married #5 Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962) in 1900.
* their son, #2 Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983), who married #3 Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002) in 1942.
*  their son, #1 Randall J. Seaver (1943-....)

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

Martha Phillips was born 20 August 1757 to John and Hannah (Brown) Phillips in Shrewsbury, Worcester County, Massachusetts[1,3].  The Shrewsbury, Massachusetts town record book lists the birth as:

"Martha Phillips, daughter of John & Hannah Phillips, was born
August the 20th 1757"

Isaac Buck and Patty Phillips married on 18 May 1780[2,4].  The Lancaster, Massachusetts town records records the event as:

  "May 18 1780, marriage of Isaac Buck and Patty Phillips, both of Lancaster, consummated by Rev. Reuben Holcomb." 

Martha and Isaac Buck had nine children between 1782 and 1810, born in either Sterling or Holden, Massachusetts.  Isaac Buck resided in Sterling in the 1790, 1810 and 1820 U.S. Census enumerations.

Martha "Patty" (Phillips) Buck probably died after the 1820 U.S. Census, since there is no female of the appropriate age in the 1830 U.S. Census for the Isaac Buck household.  No death record has been found in Sterling town records or vital records book.  There is no burial record for Martha, although it is likely she was buried in Legg Cemetery in Sterling near her husband's gravestone.
