The birth of John Buck is recorded in the register of St. Margaret's, Westminster Parish which was established in the Broad Neck area of Anne Arundel County, Maryland in 1692.
The marriage of John Buck and the widow, Susanna Ingram (see copy of ENTRY pages attached, and will of John Ingram) Ingram-1729 is recorded in the register of St. John's & St. George's Parishes. St. John's parish covered eastern Baltimore County and St. George's parish covered Harford county which was also part of Baltimore County at that time.
Following the entry for their marriage is the recording of the births of two of their children:
1741-John Buck sued a man named John Stokes for payment of a debt of 2,944 pounds of tobacco. The judgement of the court was in his favor. [5]
1750 - John Buck applies for a license to keep an ordinary. [6]
1753-John Buck, innkeeper of Baltimore County, purchases 105 acre tract called Golden Mine from Francis Ingram for £55 sterling. The land is described as being near a marsh called White Marsh on the main road.[7]
1771- John Buck purchases a 200 acre tract called "Luke's Adventure Resurveyed" from Luke Raven for £275 sterling. The land is located in a neck called Middle River[8]
1782-* John Buck of Baltimore County, butcher, purchases lot 641 from Robinson Jones for £60 specie. The lot was part of the southeast addition to Baltimore town on the east side of Jones Falls[9]
1783- The 1783 Tax Assessment for Baltimore County shows John Buck living in the Middle River Lower Hundred and owning 300 acres of land, Golden Mine & Lukes Adventure with a value of £50; 5 slaves valued at £85; 5 horses & 12 beef cattle valued at £54.; the value of other property was £36. with a total assessed value of £525. [10]
1785-John Buck of Baltimore County conveys to his son, Joshua Buck, for the sum of £275 all of his tract of land called "Luke's Adventure Resurveyed". Joshua Buck is obliged by the deed to allow his father a clear passage through the land to a landing place on navigable water. John Buck signed with his signature. [11]
1794-A map of Maryland and Virginia created in 1794 shows Bucks located south of the Gunpowder River on the road between Baltimore and Philadelphia. The key with the map states the symbol represents a tavern.[12] Did George Washington stop here some time between 1753-1793? I like to think so.
John Buck died intestate on October 8, 1793. His wife, Susannah died only 22 days later.[13] Letters of administration were granted to his son, Benjamin Buck. The inventory of the estate was valued at £398.19.6 and contained 4 pages of desperate debts valued at £17.14.1. The total paid out to the family amounted to £453.6.8.[14]
