The Bucks of Buckfield are descended from William Buck, "plowwright," the American ancestor, who emigrated from England to Salem, Mass., in the ship "Increase" in 1635. He was born in England in 1585. There is a family tradition that the Bucks are of Scottish origin, and were connected with the royal family of King James the First and Queen Elizabeth. One of the race now living remembers seeing in the family of one of the daughters of Capt. Jonathan Buck a pin cushion made from one of the silk dresses of Queen Elizabeth, which was cherished as an heirloom. The English ancestor may have come from Scotland with King James, who ascended the throne after the death of Queen Elizabeth. Sir Hugh Buck was Master of the Rolls under this monarch and licensed some theatrical plays. The name is supposed to have been taken from armorial devices, and first given for distinction won on the field of battle.
With the American ancestor William, came four sons: Isaac, James, John, and Roger. The father with Roger settled in Cambridge, where he died Jan. 24, 1658, aged 73. Roger, who was 18 years old, according to tradition, when he came to America, married and had three sons, Samuel, John, and Ephraim, and several daughters.
