WIGGIN Governor and Captain Thomas Wiggin, immigrant ancestor, came to New England from England about 1630, and settled at Dover, New Hampshire. He became a leading citizen of large influence in the colony, and was leader there from 1633 to 1636. A Puritan in relig- ion, he was not in sympathy with many of the other early settlers in the Piscataqua region, many of whom were loyal to the Church of England. As the proprietary governor he favored the union with Puritan Massachusetts Bay colony, became closely affiliated with the magistrates of the Bay colony, and had occa- sion to make frequent trips to Massachusetts. These journeys doubtless led to the family acquaintance which resulted in the marriage of his son and the daughter of Governor Simon Bradstreet. His family Bible, printed in 1609, has been preserved.
He was appointed agent and superintendent of the Dover plantations in 1631, and the next year was sent by the colonists to England to secure more ample means to develop and sup- port the colony. He returned in 1633, bring- ing with him a number of families "some of them men of property and of some account for religion," together with some "of no ac- count," as one record puts it. He was succeed- ed in 1636 by George Burdett. He married Catherine , probably in England, in 1632-33. He died about 1667. Upon the union with Massachusetts, Wiggin became a magis- trate. He was a deputy to the general court in 1645, and one of the assistants of the. Massa- chusetts colony, 1650-64, the only one at that time from New Hampshire. He was one of the principal men of the colony during his life, and seems to have enjoyed much of the confi- (ence and respect of the community. He did not, however, escape envy and abuse ; but he found himself sustained not only by his own consciousness of good intentions, but by the good opinion of those who knew him, and by the tribunals to which an appeal was occa- sionally made, even then, for the punishment of libellers and vindication of the object of their attacks. In 1655 Philip Chesley was pre- sented "for reproachful sppeches against the Worshipful Captain Wiggin," and being found guilty, was sentenced "to make a public ac- knowledgement three times-first at the head

of the train band, and at the two next public meeting days at Dover, when Oyster River people shall be there present, or be whipped ten stripes and pay a fine of five pounds." He built a house at what is now Stratham, in 1650, and the cellar hole is still to be seen there. He was buried near his home, in a field sloping towards the bay, and others of the family were afterwards buried near him, though no grave- stones remain. Some of his letters have been preserved, and much of interest to the students of the colonies centers in the rather dramatic career of Captain Wiggin. Children : Andrew, mentioned below ; Thomas, born about 1640; Mary.
(II) Andrew, son of Captain Thomas Wig- gin, was born about 1635, in Dover. At one time he owned nearly all of what is now the town of Stratham, New Hampshire, on the easterly side of the Squamscot river, and the homestead is still one of the finest in New England, owned lately by Benjamin D. Whit- comb, and maintained as a stock farm. He received a wedding gift from his father of a tract at Quamscott three miles square. He was not active in public life, but in private life he appears to have been regarded and considered as a sort of patron of Squamscot. As such, and especially as a man regarding his own interests and the interests of the colonists, he occasionally came into collision with Mason and his friends, with whom he and his family were not at all times on the best of terms. Walter Barefoot was one of Mason's friends, and was so connnected by marriage with the Wiggin family as to make the ill-will, which was now and then stirred up between them, peculiarly bitter. In June, 1667, Barefoot entered a complaint against Wiggin for beat- ing and bruising him in the public highway, and robbing him of a pistol, and several writ- ings "of great concernment." Both parties were bound in recognizance to appear at the next court, one to prosecute and the other to answer. In September there was a solemn trial which left the whole case and the whole court very much in the dark, as appears from the record: "The court find that the charge is not proved in all the particulars of it; but finding that the said Wiggin thrust the said Barefoot into a gully, and did after that in an- other place, upon some words passing between them, turn towards the said Barefoot and face him ; and suddenly thereupon both were seen upon the ground scuffing, the said Barefoot de- manding his pistol of said Wiggin, which said
Barefoot said he had taken from him, and which this court doth suspect the said Wiggin did take from him, the court judges the said Wiggin to have broken the peace." He was fined five pounds. He was acquitted of an- other charge evidently brought in malice against him. He married, June 3, 1659, Han- nah, daughter of Governor Simon and Anne (Dudley) Bradstreet, granddaughter of Gov- ernor Thomas Dudley, of Massachusetts, and niece of Governor Joseph Dudley. Her mother was author of many poems which were pub- lished, and she became known as "the Sappho of New England," because she was the first woman in this country to publish a volume of verse. Children : Thomas, born March 5, 1662, married Martha Dennison, granddaughter of Major Daniel Dennison, of Ipswich; Simon. born April 17, 1664-5; Hannah, born August 10, 1666, married Samuel, son of Elder Will- iam Wentworth; Mary, born March 22, 1667-8, married Captain Jeremy Gilman; Judge An- drew, mentioned below ; Bradstreet; Abigail, born September 14, 1678; Dorothy, October 14, 1680; Sarah, January 6, 1682; Jonathan, March II, 1683; Child, November 28, 1677. (III) Judge Andrew Wiggin, son of Andrew Wiggin, was born January 6, 1671-2. He was twice married. He married (second), Janu- ary 4. 1737, Rachel (Chase) Freese, widow of Jacob Chase. Wiggin was often in public life. For some time he was judge of the superior court, judge of probate for the province, and for several years speaker of the New Hamp- shire house of representatives. His will was proved February 6, 1756, soon after his death. Children: Hannah, Martha, Mary, Mercy, Jonathan and Bradstreet, mentioned below.

The surname Buck is ancient both BUCK in England and Germany, and seems to have been of German origin. The spelling varies greatly, following are some of the forms: Boc, Bock, Boch, Bocke. Bok, Book, Bouke, Buc. Buch, Busq, Buke, and many others.
(I) William Buck, immigrant ancestor. came to New England in the ship "Increase," sailing in April, 1635, from England, and landing a month later at Boston, Massachu- setts. He gave his age as fifty years, and accordingly was born about 1585. His son Roger was with him, and his age was given as eighteen. He settled at Cambridge, and in 1652 had a grant of land twenty acres, lot No. 91. in Cambridge Survey, so-called. Here he built a new home for his family. It was in what was called the west field, northeast from Garden street, on what is now Raymond street. He was a ploughwright by trade. He died in- testate January 24, 1658, and was buried in the old cemetery at Cambridge. His son Roger was administrator of his estate, and it does not appear that there were any other children.
(II) Roger, son of William Buck, was born in England, in 1617. He came to New Eng- land with his father. It is generally supposed that Enoch and Emanuel Buck, who settled at Wethersfield. Connecticut, were relatives, possibly older sons of William Buck. Roger Buck was a ploughwright and farmer. He set- tled at Cambridge, near his father. On the death of his wife Susannah he moved to Wo- burn, where some of his children lived. He died there November 10, 1693. Children: I. Mary, born January 23, 1648; died unmarried, August 31, 1669. 2. Ruth, born November 6, 1653: died September 21, 1682: married Thomas Bathrick, or Baverick. 3. Elizabeth,

born July 5, 1657 ; married, August 20, 1678, Joshua Wood. 4. Lydia, married, November 3, 1672, Henry Smith. 5. John, born Septem- ber 3, 1644 ; died unmarried. 6. Samuel, born March 16, 1669; married Rachel Levin; set- tled in West Cambridge; died September 21, 1690. 7. Ephraim, mentioned below.
(III) Ephraim, son of Roger Buck, was born at Cambridge, July 26, 1646, and died at Woburn, January, 1721. He married, Janu- ary 1, 1671, Sarah, daughter of John and Eunice (Mousall) Brooks, of Woburn. He settled in Woburn, probably a few years earlier, as he is mentioned in the will of John Mousall, whose granddaughter he married. Mr. Mous- all died March 27, 1665. He also left a be- quest to John Brooks. Ephraim Buck became a man of distinction, was local magistrate ap- pointed to try small causes by the general court. He was a farmer. His grandson, Jon- athan Buck, son of Ebenezer, was founder of the town of Bucksport, Maine, and he has thousands of descendants in Maine and north- ern New England. Children: 1. Sarah, born January 1I, 1673; married Thomas Grover. 2. Ephraim, born July 13, 1676; married Esther Waggett. 3. John, born January 11, 1678-9; died young. 4.

(IV) Samuel, son of Ephraim Buck, was born at Woburn, November 13. 1682, and was a farmer. He resided at Woburn. He mar- ried, about 1708, Hannah Children : Hannah, born February 1, 1710; Samuel, May 7. 17II, mentioned below ; Sarah, April 16. 1716 ; Zebediah. August 29, 1719.
(V) Samuel (2), son of Samuel ( 1) Buck. was born at Woburn, May 7, 1711, and died December, 1765, at Killingly, Connecticut, ac- cording to the old church records. From somewhat meagre and unsatisfactory records in Connecticut the establishment of the family at Thompson and its connection with that at Woburn is ascertained. Samuel Buck went with other Woburn, Lexington and Water- town families, or followed them to Killingly and Thompson, Connecticut, where this branch of the Buck family lived. Eleazer Bateman joined the Killingly church September 15, 1715. He was from Woburn. Richard Blosse, of West Watertown, joined the church May 23, 1716: George and Sarah Blanchard, of Lex-
ington, October 18, 1715, and the stream of emigration continued to Thompson from Wo- burn for a number of years. In 1729 James Wilson and Ivory Upham, who had just come from Woburn, joined the church. In the thir- ties probably Samuel Buck, of Woburn, came with or followed relatives. There is a record of the marriage of Robert Buck, of Killingly, in 1715, but nothing else about him. He may have been one of the Wethersfield family. Samuel Buck was one of the heads of families who on November 19, 1745, signed the cove- 11ant and called Rev. Perley Howe, of Dudley, Massachusetts, to settle as minister at Kill- ingly. He bought a farm in 1756, on Killingly Hill, of Ebenezer Adams, and settled on it. Rev. Mr. Howe kept no church records, and information about Samuel Buck's family is difficult to find. He was deacon of the church many years. He was succeeded in 1765 by Lieutenant Benjamin Levens, who may have been a relative of Samuel Buck, from Woburn. The son of Samuel, Samuel Jr., married a Miss Bloss, whose grandparents came from Watertown. The following are believed to be some of Samuel's children: 1. Zerviah, mar- ried April 3. 1754, Giles Roberts. 2. David, mentioned below. 3. Samuel, married Martha Bloss, January 1, 1760. 4. Jonathan, served in the revolution as second lieutenant, and was killed at the battle of Harlem, New York, Sep- tember 15, 1776; was one of those who gave to the fund to buy Killingly common in 1775. 5. Aaron, died August 24, 1755. 6. Child, died October 5. 1756. 7. Reuben, married Eliza- beth
(VI) David. son of Samuel (2) Buck, was born at Killingly, Connecticut, and married (first ), June 22, 1756, Anna Russell; (second) One account of his line says that he was born in Massachusetts and came to Put- nam, part of Killingly or Thompson townships. Connecticut. He was a joiner and farmer. Children of first wife: David, died young ; Jonathan: Aaron, mentioned below : Mrs. Josialı Dean ; Mrs. Benjamin Cutler.
