SAMUEL BUCK, farmer, sec 7, Aetna Tp., (P. O., Morley), was born in Washington 
Co., N. Y., Nov. 4, 1813.  He 

is son of Aaron and Julia (Brown) Buck.

Mr. Buck spent the first 23 years of his life in the pursuits common to 
farmer's sons and then settled on a 

farm, where he lived 22 years, managing his farm and practicing medicine, of 
which he has acquired 

considerable knowledge.  On leaving New York he came to Hillsdale Co., Mich., 
in the fall of 1856, where he 

remained a resident nine years.  His next removal was to Aetna Tp., where he 
founded and built up his 

present home.  The family belong to the M. E. Church.  Mr. Buck holds to no 
particular political views, but 

is a radical Prohibitionist.

daughter was born in 1821.  Five children were born of this marriage as

Wesley, April 6, 1851; Mary, Aug. 11, 1847; Estella, March 4, 1854.  Josephine 
is deceased, but, dates of 

birth and death are not known.  Mr. Buck's wife died, and he was married in 
Hillsdale County, to Jane, 

daughter of Elijah and Anna Selsby, who was a native of Vermont, born Nov. 4,
