Buck
1. Ebenezer1 Buck of Upton (#4794) was born circa 1733.(1) Ebenezer died Aug 27, 1827 in Upton, Worcester Co, MA, at 94
years of age.(2)
He married Mary (Buck). (Mary (Buck) is #4795.) Mary was born 1742. Mary died 18 Aug 1840 in
Upton, Worcester Co, MA, at 98 years of age.(3)
Conflicting evidence states that Ebenezer was born in 1740.(4)
With others from Worcester County, he enlisted in Captain Barker's Company of Colonel Ezra Wood's Regiment, to serve for nine months from
his arrival at Fishkill, June 19, 1778. He was described as age 45, 5 ft. 10 in. in stature, dark complexion, a resident of Upton. A
certificate dated Feb 1, 1779, signed by Dr. Josiah Deane in Upton, certified the said Buck to be so lame as to be unable to serve in the
army.(5)
Ebenezer was listed on the 1790 Census as the head of a family with another w/m 16+, two white males under 16 and six females in
Upton, Worcester Co, MA.(6)
Samuel
Buck's book lists a large number of children. I've entered them mostly in the order in which they are listed in his book, except I've
rearranged Moses to a point where he would have been old enough to have the family mentioned in the 1790 census.
