Amiky:
Do a search for traders. There was a discussion of this some time back and lists got posted.
Also common names are the ministers. My names were almost all surnames of Presbyterian ministers.

Linda,
As you know from the Buck thread, I have been working hard to trace my direct line of Buck ancestors. They dead-end in the Mohawk Valley. However, I have two of the surnames you mention also in my direct line.
gr-gr-gr-gr-gr grandparent Daniel (?) Smith VA (?)
gr-gr-gr-gr grandparents Joseph H. Smith b. about 1784 VA (?) and Sally/Sarah Covington b.NC
gr-gr-gr grandparents: Benjamin Covington Smith b. 1805 Richmond County, NC and Ellen O. Hill b. 1805 SC (Ellen’s niece married Guy Jewell Turner)
gr-gr grandparents: Thomas Scott claims to be CAN/IRE b.1840 and Julia Elizabeth Smith b. 1840 Warren County, KY
gr-grandparents:Harry Madison Buck b. 1878 Waukesha, WI and Elizabeth Julia Scott b. Cook Co., Ill
Hope this helps,
Nadia
Nadia,
I am from Southern Minnesota, and the Buck surname is very common among the Mdewakanton Dakota Sioux. I don’t know if these could be related to your Buck’s or not. I noticed you had relatives as close as Waukesha, this is pretty close to where I live.

Shirley,
Funny….you look sort of like me. Please look at the posts I have in Saponitown that are in the genealogy section (Buck thread). if you do a search for Buck you will find it. If you can tell me anything, i would certainly appreciate it. Maybe you know a Buck family that could check it out.
Peace to you,
Nadia
Nadia,
Thank you for the compliment. I know a couple of the Buck families, and will see what I can find out for you. I won’t be home for another week or so, I am currently in Montana, my niece passed away (a couple of months ago), and I am back home for the funeral. Take care, I will be back in MN on the
3rd.
