"Salmon Buck, b. May 19, 1766, d. Aug. 10, 1851, m. March 5, 1794, Urana Beecher (daughter of Eleazer Beecher and Elsie Bristol), b. 1763, d. Dec. 9, 1836. He was a farmer, residing four miles Northwest of New Milford, Litchfield County, Conn.

"Salmon Buck spent his days, until his marriage, on his father’s farm, on Long Mountain. He seems to have assumed the care of his parents and sisters. To him his father devises the old homestead and two acres of land adjoining it, in addition to other lands, which he had previously conveyed to him by deed. This devise he charged with the duty of providing a home for, and taking care of his daughters, Ruth and Jerusha, a duty which the son faithfully performed. With him, Ruth made her home much of the time.

"He was a good citizen, a man of strict integrity and uprightness of character, kind and obliging to all. On the old homestead, he lived and died. He and his wife were members of the Congregational Church at New Milford, in the Cemetery connected with which they both rest. His wife Urana Beecher was a woman of exemplary character and piety, beloved by all who knew her.

"Her father, Eleazer Beecher, Jr., was a brother of Nathaniel Beecher, the great grandfather of Henry Ward Beecher, the world-renowned pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn."^[1]
