The name of Buck was early at Killingly from Mass., and at Ash- ford from Killingly ; in both of which places the name is yet found ; not of the Bucks of Wethersfield.
Book, (Buck,) Emanuell, in the list of freemen at Wethersfield, (in 1669,) was a Constable with Thomas Wright, who signed the list.
Buck, has thirteen coats of arms ; Bucke, three.
BUECHAMP, ISAAC, late of Boston, (Nov., 1750,) was of Mid- dletown, Conn. His daughter Eliz'th, about 17 years old, chose her father Isaac for guardian, and the Court at Hartford appointed him guardian for his daughter, Mary Buchamp, Jan. 20, 1750. (See BEAUCHAMP, same name.)
BUEL, BEWELL, BUÈLL, WILLIAM, (Welchman,) was an early and respectable settler at Windsor. He was probably a joiner by trade, as is seen by the following extract of record :
" March 29, 1652.
" Accounts made with William Buell, for work don in the meeting howse, &c., the Elders Pew-Deakons Pew-Magistrats Pew and their Wives Pew, for- merly paid, and for the fower rowes of seats in the howse when the dores are up.

In his will he gave his daughter Mary £5 more than he gave any of his daughters. Mr. Buell's mother probably came with him to Windsor, as the Windsor record says, "Goode Buell d. at Windsor, Dec. 3, 1639." WM. and MARY BUELL'S children, were Samuel, b. Sept. 2, 1641, m.
