Charles Buck (1774-1831)

There are so many Charles Bucks that it is difficult to keep track of them.  This is about the Charles Buck who was born in January 25, 1774 in Virginia, the son of John Buck and Miriam Richardson.  This is not about Charles Buck III (1788-1870), son of Charles Buck II, who also lived in Woodford County, Kentucky.

Charles Buck (1774-1831) married Mary (Polly) Price (1778-), the daughter of Samuel Price and Elizabeth Richardson on October 12, 1799 in Frederick, Virginia.  Polly Price was the granddaughter of William Richardson and Isabella Calmes whose daughters Ann, Miriam and Mary married the three sons of Charles Buck I.  Therefore, Charles Buck (1774-1831) and Polly Price were first cousins.

Although some sources have the wife of Charles Buck (1774-1831) as Isabella Price, this is not correct.  H. N. Buck noted that “Some records have the name as Isabella (the next oldest sister to Mary) but other records show that Isabella married William Samuels. Churchill M. Buck writes "My father always spoke of her (Charles Buck's wife) as ‘Aunt Polly'".

Charles Buck was one of the first merchants of the town of Versailles, Kentucky. Later he moved to Franklin County, having bought a mill on the Elkhorn river, and was buried there.     

                       

Charles Buck and Polly Price Buck had six unnamed children who died in infancy, a daughter named Miriam who died in infancy, as well as the following who survived to adulthood:

• Elizabeth Buck married John Harris
• Annie Buck ( -1863) married F. Reese.
• Charles Buck, no information available
• Walter Alvis Buck (1824-1870), married (1) Ann Cassandra Hale, (2) Sarah Sneed Harris in 1864.
• Isabella Buck (~1810-~1880) married George Blackburn
• John Price Buck, no information available

Although the death of Charles Buck is shown herein as being November 3, 1831, this may not be correct.  Some sources give his death as being in 1824.  However, there is a record of probate for a Charles Buck in Kentucky for 1832.  Information on the death of his wife, Mary (Polly) Price is not available.
