Robert N. Buck was one of eight children of Henry Buck and Rachel Buck. His application for his mother Rachel's Revolutionary War Pension and related documents found in Roger Buck's papers authenticated him as the son of Dr. Henry Buck. Robert N. Buck was indirectly first identified in the 1790 Federal Census for Derry Township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania under Buck, Henry, one male over 16 Henry, one male under 16 (assumed to be Robert N.) and four females (assumed to be Rachel, Elizabeth, and two others).
War of 1812:
The War of 1812 is one of the forgotten wars of the United States. The war lasted for over two years, and while it ended much like it started; in stalemate; it was in fact a war that once and for all confirmed American Independence. The offensive actions of the United States failed in every attempt to capture Canada. On the other hand, the British Army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a number of American Naval victories in which American vessels proved themselves superior to similarly sized British vessels. These victories coming after victories in the Qyasi War (an even more forgotten war) launched American navel traditions. Like his Brother George Buck, Robert Buck fought in the War of 1812; Canada campaign. The National Archives has provided copies of various muster rolls and pay records in 1814 that listed both Robert and his brother, George, as privates in Captain David Moreland's Rifle Company, 5th Regimental Pennsylvania Volunteers, Pennsylvania Militia. The records indicated that Robert came from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, served in Erie, Pennsylvania and Greenbush, Canada and was discharged in Albany, New York. In 1855 Robert N. Buck made application for a land grant based on his service in the War of 1812 and received 80 acres. The application was filed from Stark County, Ohio.
A letter written by Elizabeth Keller, great granddaughter of Robert, dated July 22, 1938, stated that Dr. Henry H. Buck, Robert N. Buck's son, was born in Juniata County, Pennsylvania in 1817. This would mean that Robert married Sarah McConnell in Pennsylvania prior to that date and moved to Ohio sometime after 1817. They had two children: Dr. Robert M. Buck and Dr. Henry H. Buck.
We have little information about what he did for a living, however, he accumulated a substantial amount of real estate based on information in his Will. In a publication titled "Old Landmarks of Canton and Stark County, Ohio", edited by John Danner in 1904, on page 848. The author is quoted as follows "Robert Buck, father of Dr. Henry Buck, was a native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was a pioneer of Ohio and one of the first settlers of Columbiana County, where he entered a farm in Knox Township, and had a large share in opening the country to the progress of civilization." In the "History of Stark County, 1881", edited by William Henry Perrin, Robert N. Buck was mentioned as the Postmaster in Freedom, Ohio in 1848. Mr. Buck then owned and occupied the grounds now known as Garrison's Gardens, at which point he dealt out the installments of news for three months. Not relishing the duties of the position, he sought a resignation and a successor for three months more, when one turned up in the person of Thomas Beer. In pages from "Alliance History" as Printed in the Alliance Review, 1940-1941, Sarah McConnell Buck and her daughter-in-law, Priscilla Buck, were mentioned on page 5 as founders and original members of the First Methodist Church, started in 1840, in Freedom, Ohio.
Robert N. Buck, in his Will dated July 25, 1855, left the brick residence and one acre of land on which it stood to his son, Henry Buck. He bequeathed to his other son, Robert M. Buck, a house and lot #14 in Alliance, Ohio, plus four acres on the north end of Robert N. Buck's land. Furthermore, he bequeathed the balance of his real estate to his wife, Sarah.
Henry and Rebecca, cared for Robert before his death.
Robert N. and Sarah were buried in Lexington Township, Stark County, Ohio in Alliance City Cemetery #118. The inscriptions on the tombstones read "Buck, R. N. (War of 1812) 1788-1867" and "Buck, Sarah 1789-1874." The source of this information is "Cemetery Inscriptions - Buck, Stark County Volume #1, V061251 St. 795 Pennsylvania Historical Society."
