It is at Wilmington where we find recorded the births of Samuel and Rachel Buck. Specifically, on the 6th of April, 1739, at Wilmington, Samuel and Rachel (Roberts) Buck gave birth to a son David. Six days later (on the 12th), Samuel and Rebekah Buck had a son Jonathan born at Sutton, some 50 miles southwest of Wilmington.
The invention of "Rachel Rebecca Roberts Buck" might be the product of an erroneous "merge" on FamilySearch, or it might predate the creation of FamilySearch. But either way, it is obviously bunk.
I haven't dug into this deeply enough to be 100% certain which Samuel Buck is the correct husband of Rachel Roberts. However, I suppose that it was Samuel Buck Jr., born at Woburn 7 May 1711 (son of Samuel). Evidently the grandfather of this Samuel Buck Jr. was Ephraim Buck. I came to that conclusion mostly based on the compilation of Buck family lore set forth in "Historic Homes and Institutions....of Worcestor County, Mass.," on Google Books, page 387ff.
Note that (according to "Historic Homes"), Samuel Buck Sr. was the son of Ephraim and Sarah (Brooks) Buck, Sarah having been the daughter of John and Eunice (Mousall) Brooks of Woburn. This made Samuel Buck Jr. a second cousin of his wife Rachel Roberts, as Sarah (Brooks) Buck's younger sister Joanna (Brooks) Roberts was the great-grandmother of Rachel (Roberts) Buck.
Not only is there the matter of that kinship, but according to "Historic Homes," Samuel Buck Jr. settled at Killingly, Connecticut by 1745, possibly that part that later became Thompson, Conn. This was where David and Rachel (Pierce) Roberts also settled. The account in Historic Homes doesn't identify the wife of Samuel Buck Jr., but it had to have been Rachel (Roberts) Buck.
