Ephraim Buck Sr. of Woburn wrote his will on 23 November 1717, and it was proved in Middlesex County Probate Court on 20 March 1720/1[3]. In the will, Ephraim gave property to his son, Ephraim Buck, Jr.
"Item. I Give to my two sons namly Ephraim Buck and Samuell Buck all my land and medow lying on the Northerly side of Andover Row that is not otherwise Desposed of, Provided that they pay out unto the several person hereafter Named the several sums assignd to them in this my last will and testament."
The town of Wilmington was formed from the towns of Woburn, Reading and Billerica in 1730. The Buck homestead was located in Wilmington after the town was formed.
On 30 December 1734, Benjamin Johnson, yeoman of Woburn, sold land in Woburn to Ephraim Buck and Ephraim Buck, Jr., both husbandmen of Wilmington, for 150 pounds[4]. The tract of upland, swamp and meadow land was 22 acres in Wilmington, bounded southeasterly by Maple Meadow River, northeasterly by Ladder Pole swamp and Philip Alexander's land, northwesterly by the Young Men's lots, and southwesterly by a line to the first bound. This deed was recorded on 29 July 1735.
On 15 March 1738/9, Ephraim Buck, yeoman of Wilmington, sold two parcels of land in Woburn to his son Ephraim Buck, husbandman of Wilmington for 200 pounds[5]. The first parcel was the homestead now in Wilmington bounds containing about 50 acres adjoining. The land was bounded easterly on Andover road, northerly by Daniel Eames, westerly by Maple Meadow in Woburn, and southerly by his brother Samuel Buck. A second parcel was the land purchased by Ephraim Buck from Benjamin Johnson. He reserved one half of the homestead, the barn, and the land bounded on Andover road for his lifetime. The deed was signed by Ephraim and his wife Esther Buck, who relinquished her thirds. The deed was recorded on 21 June 1742.
Ephraim Buck died sometime between 15 March 1738/9 when he signed a deed and perhaps before 21 June 1742[5] when the deed was registered. However, the death was not recorded in the Wilmington or Woburn vital record books. His burial location is not known.
Ephraim Buck has no probate record in Middlesex County Probate Court records.
