He, with four others of his class, received his degree at Wethersfield, at the hands of the Rev. Timothy Woodbridge, of Hartford, as presiding Trustee.
He studied theology, and when the few families living in the southwestern part of the adjoining township of Farmington were allowed to maintain public worship by themselves, in what afterwards became the parish and town of Southington, he was employed (December 21, 1721) to preach for them. The same arrangement continued in this corner of Farmington for several winters, and it is probable that Mr. Buck was employed, though the name of the supply is not recorded.
His health, however, soon failed, and he died in Wethersfield, early in 1726, at the age of 30. The inventory of his estate is dated April 11, 1726.
He was married, June 11, 1722, to Elizabeth, second daughter of Captain Jabez and Hannah (Lathrop) Perkins, of Norwich, Connecticut, who survived him. They had one daughter (Eliazbeth).
A 2nd daughter (Hannah) was born possibly posthumously to Daniel's wife Elizabeth.
