4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Isaac Buck was born in about 1706, the sixth and last child of Ephraim and Esther Waget of Woburn, Massachusetts[1]. Isaac's father probably died shortly after his birth, but his mother lived until 1748.
Isaac married Ruth Graves on 3 December 1729 in Reading[2] (where Ruth was living), which was also recorded in Woburn (where Isaac was living). They had at least six children - Thomas, Isaac, Hester, Susanna, Ebenezer and Joseph - between 1730 and 1740 in Wilmington, Massachusetts. Only Thomas and Hester were recorded in Wilmington; the others were probably born there but the births were not recorded.
A published memoir book[1] says:
"(V) Isaac Buck, son of Ephraim Buck (IV) was born about 1705 in Woburn Mass. or vicinity. He was living at Woburn when he married at Reading Mass, Dec 3 1729, Ruth Graves. Isaac Buck moved to Southboro and with his wife Ruth sold their rights in the estate of her father, Joseph Graves, late of Southboro, Mass, October 19 1757. Among their children were: Isaac, born about 1730; Esther, married at Southboro, May 4 1762, Elisha Bruce Jr.; probably others."
Isaac Buck was rated in the town tax records in Framingham in 1754[3].
Some time before 25 March 1756, the Isaac Buck family moved from Framingham to stay in the house of Joseph Richards in Southborough. The article "Southborough Massachusetts Notifications" says[4]:
"I have taken into my house...a famaley Last from Framingham the Name of Isaac Buck and his wife Ruth and their Children Susanna and Joseph, March ye 25th:1756. Joseph Richards."
On 5 May 1756 the Southborough Town Council directed the constable to warn Isaac Buck, his wife Ruth, and two of their children, Susanna and Joseph, to get out of town forthwith[5]. This was a formal notification, customary of the times, which would legally relieve the town of any responsibility to support the Bucks, who were called "a poor family in low circumstances."
Ruth Buck was in Framingham in 1763. Ebenezer Buck was in Framingham in 1764. Joseph Buck of Framingham married Hephzebah Bruce in Hopkinton in 1768[3].
In a deed dated 19 October 1757 and recorded by the court on 29 October 1765, land was granted by Isaac and Ruth Buck to Joseph Graves which had been willed to Ruth (Graves) Buck by her father, Thomas Graves, in Southborough[6]. The deed was witnessed by Isaac Buck Jr and Ebenezer Buck.
An aged man of the name of Isaac Buck was said to have died in Framingham on the morning of the dark day in 1780[7] (19 May 1780, according to The Weather Doctor[8]).
There is no probate record for either Isaac Buck or Ruth (Graves) Buck in the Worcester County or Middlesex County Probate record indexes.
The burial location of both Isaac and Ruth (Graves) Buck is unknown. Perhaps they were buried on a farm in or near Framingham.
