Note: There is no evidence that Henry Buck was the son of William Buck-155 and Margaret Neave-4. They should NOT be connected as parents and child. Thank you.
Biography
Henry Buck was born about 1626, location unknown.[1]
The first known record of Henry was at Wethersfield in 1658 when he was given land for his blacksmith shop on the common near the Cove and a house.[1]
He married Elizabeth Churchill 31 Oct 1660 at Wethersfield, Connecticut per Torrey in "New England Marriages to 1700".[2] The couple supposedly had these children:
It is possible that Henry Buck was the brother of Emanuel Buck of Wethersfield.[1]
A "Henry Buck" was named in the 28 Mar 1678 will of his grandmother, Elizabeth (Deming) Welles as "overseer" along with Mr. John Deming.[3] However, this Elizabeth was born in 1595 so it is impossible for Henry Buck born in 1626 to be her grandson. The most logical explanation is that Henry Buck was her grandson-in-law i.e. married to her grand-daughter Elizabeth Churchill (the daughter of Elizabeth Foote & Josiah Churchill; Elizabeth Foote being the daughter of Elizabeth Deming & her first husband Nathaniel Foote) but described as grandson, a reasonable explanation since son-in-laws were often described as "son" (and the same for daughters-in-law).
Henry died in July 1712 at Wethersfield, Connecticut, age 86 years.[1]

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Henry by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Henry:

I find no marriage or burial record for this Henry Buck in England, suggesting that he might have very well emigrated to New England. There is no burial for Martin Buck, either, EXCEPT for the burial of a man with that name in Patrington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, a farmer, in 1643.
Records of Weathersfield, Conn., by S.G. Drake, 1861. New England Register, Vol. 15, Page 297 (with notes). Buck, Henry and Elizabeth Churchill, his wife, married Oct 31, 1660. (Henry Buck, bn. 1623, died July 7 1712, aged 86); (This record includes Henry Buck's brothers, wives, marriages, and some children): Children; Isaac Buck bn Apr 12, 1693;.
Please note that "Ancestry Family Trees" is not considered a valid source on WikiTree. Your Find A Grave source indicates that this Henry Buck died at Wethersfield July 7, 1712. It is believed that the Wethersfield Bucks and the Cambridge Bucks were NOT related. Do you have any other source for a father/son relationship between William Buck-155 and this Henry Buck-41? If not, they will need to be disconnected.
Thanks.
