(IX) GILBERT, third Baron Talbot, son of Richard, second Baron Talbot, married Petronilla Butler, descended from Edward I of England (1273-1308.) His daughter, Lady Elizabeth Plantagenet, married Humphrey Bohun, Earl of Hereford. Their daughter, Eleanor, married James Butler, first Earl of Ormonde, and it was their daughter, Petronilla, who married Gilbert, third Baron Talbot.


(X) RICHARD, fourth Baron Talbot, son of Gilbert, third Baron Talbot, mar- ried Ankaret. According to some authorities she was descended from Edward I, King of England, 1272-1307. He married Eleanor, daughter of Ferdinand III of Castile. Their daughter, Joan, married Gilbert de Clare, ninth Earl of Gloucester, I243-95. Their daughter, Eleanor, married Hugh, second Lord Despenser, who was beheaded in 1326. Their daughter, Isabel, married as his first wife, Richard Fitz-Alan, fifth Earl of Arundel. Some authorities claim that Richard and Isabel Fitz-Alan were the parents of Lady Mary Fitz-Alan, who married John, Lord le Strange, of Blackmere, and was the mother of Ankaret le Strange, who married (as above noted), Richard, fourth Baron Talbot. However, other authorities propound the theory that Lady Mary Fitz-Alan was the daughter of Richard Fitz- Alan and his second wife, Eleanor, daughter of Henry, Earl of Lancaster. Pro- ponents of this theory, which automatically disproves the descent from Edward I, claim that Richard Fitz-Alan were the parents of only one daughter, Philippa, who married Sir Richard Sergeaux, County Cornwall. However, it is certain that Mary Fitz-Alan married John le Strange. John le Strange was descended from John le Strange, who died in 1269, and married Amice. Their son, Robert le Strange, married Alianore, daughter of William Blancminster. Their son, Fulk le Strange, of Blackmere, married Alianore, daughter of John Giffird, of Brins- field. They were the parents of John le Strange, of Blackmere (died in 1350), married Ankaret (as above noted), daughter of William Boleter, of Wimme.

(XI) SIR THOMAS GREENE, of Boughton and Greene Norton, married Mary, daughter of Richard, Lord Talbot of Goodrich Castle, and sister of John, first Earl of Shrewsbury. (John, Earl of Shrewsbury, mentioned in Cokayne, Vol. VII, p. 360, as son of Sir Richard.)

(XVII) SIR NICHOLAS VAUX, Baron of Harrowden, eldest son and heir of Sir William, married (first) Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Lord Fitz Hugh.

Among the issue by his second wife, Anne Greene, was a daughter.

('The Badger Line).


Regarding the origin of the surname Badger, there are several theories. One is that it is of occupational origin, designating "the badger," a hawker, dealer in corn and other commodities, buying in one place to sell in another. "If any per- son shall act as a badger without licence, he is to forfeit five pounds." A second theory is that the surname designates a parish in Shropshire. As early as 1273, we hear of Thomas le Baggore in the Hundred Rolls of County Oxford.


(I) STEPHEN BADGER settled at Bucksport, Maine, prior to 1801, and died in 1815. He married, September 21, 1803, Hannah Buck. (Buck VII.) They were the parents of :


I. Jonathan, born July 25, 1804, died April 15, 1881; married, May 23, 1839, Sarah Ann Steel.


2. Emily Hannah, of whom further.


3. Almira Nancy, born June 10, 1809, died March 26, 1835; married, December 31, 1829, William Raiguel.


4. Stephen, born December 6, 1810, died June 6, 1855.


5. Mary, born June 16, 1812, died January 13, 1836; married, August 7, 1833, Rev. Eleazer Holt.


6. Lydia, born February 27, 1815, died August 8, 1815.


(II) EMILY HANNAH BADGER, daughter of Stephen and Hannah (Buck) Badger, was born January I, 1806, and died December 16, 1882. One of her strongly marked characteristics through life was a thoughtful care for the com- fort of those around her. In July, 1816, soon after the death of her father, she was sent to Reading, Pennsylvania, to her aunt, Mrs. N. O'Brien, with whose fam- ily she found a home until her marriage to Levi B. Smith. (Smith V.) Immedi- ately after the ceremony she was taken to her new home at Reading Hall, fifteen miles south of Reading, in the house formerly occupied for a short time by Mr. Smith's mother, and in which she had first met her husband at the marriage of two of his sisters to William Darling and Joseph O'Brien. They remained in this home three years, and after several changes they settled at . Joanna Furnace, the birthplace of Mr. Smith, who entered into a partnership with William Darling for the manufacture of stoves and pig iron, Mr. Darling residing at Reading. Here they passed thirty happy years. In 1862, relinquishing the active management of the business to their sons, Mr. and Mrs. Smith removed to Reading, Pennsylvania, where they passed the remainder of their lives. Mrs. Smith was "a quiet, mild and gentle woman, timid and reserved, but with such strength of character as to com- mand through all her life the most reverent and loving obedience whose slighest wishes were a law unto her family. She combined with rare personal beauty a winning magnetism which secured for her the admiration of all who knew her.


185


SMITH


With ready sympathy for those in sorrow and distress, in the most gentle and unob- trusive way, she 'seemed to be receiving when she was conferring favors,' and was ever thoughtful and considerate for the pleasure and comfort of others."


(Mrs. Elizabeth S. Richards : "Buck Genealogy.")


(The Buck Line).


The name Buck as a surname is probably of English origin. Lower, in his history of "English Surnames," gives the name as one of those probably originating from names of animals, and says: "We may fairly conclude, I think, that some- times such surnames as . . . . Buck .... which indicate courage and agility, have been taken from the shields and banners of war; but ... . sometimes a craftsman or innholder borrowed his name from his own sign." With respect to the more modern names of this sort: "They generally occur in medieval records with the Norman French prefix 'le' as Roger le Buck. . . . In their primary application they were sobriquets allusive, as in the cases above cited, either to the characteristic qualities of a person, or to some incident of their lives." In the preface to Hudson's "Richard III" we find: "The attempt at reforming public opinion was led off by Sir George Buck, whose history of 'Richard III' was pub- lished in 1646." In Allibone's "Dictionary," we find: "Buc or Buck, Sir George, died 1623." (The life and reign of Richard III, London, 1646-47, printed in Ken- net's "History of England.") In Burke's "General Armory" a Sir John Buck is mentioned as provost marshal under the Earl of Essex (sixteenth century).


(I) WILLIAM BUCKE was born, probably in England, in 1585, and died Janu- ary 24, 1658, aged seventy-three years. We first find him in London, where, with his son, Roger, he appears before the proper authorities for the purpose of obtain- ing permission to leave Great Britain. He sailed on the "Increase." It is surmised that this vessel landed at Salem, Massachusetts. The next intelligence we have of William Bucke is found in the "History of Cambridge," when we find the name of William Bucke on the records of that church, which may, without doubt, be regarded as members of Mr. Hooker's company. Many later removed to other places, but his name is among those who remained in Cambridge. We may, there- fore, infer that soon after their arrival in New England, William Bucke and his son settled in Cambridge, and a few months later, when the Rev. Mr. Shephard and his company arrived and organized as a congregation, William united with it. In 1652, among the persons to whom land was granted, are those of :


Roger Buck, Lot no. 5, containing 10 Acres. William Buck, Lot no. 91, containing 20 Acres.


In 1655, there were so many inhabitants gathered there that they were incorpo- rated as a distinct town named Billerica.


As Roger Buck inherited all of his father's property, many of his descendants claim that he was an only child. It is possible that William Bucke was also the parents of :


2. Isaac, died in 1695; married Frances.


3. James; married June 4, 1639.


4. John; married (first) Elizabeth Holbrook; (second), in 1693, Sarah Doty.


5. Roger, of whom further.

SMITH


(II) ROGER BUCK, son of William Bucke, was born, probably in England, in 1617, and died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, November 10, 1693. He was eighteen years of age when he came with his father to New England and settled in Cam- bridge. As no indications have been found that he resided elsewhere, we may con- clude that he always lived there. He certainly inherited that property upon the death of his father in 1658. He was for a time "Public Executioner," in which capacity he was ordered to inflict twenty lashes upon a culprit in 1668. Record does not appear as to whether he carried out the order. In 1688, he acknowledged the sale of a part of his homestead to a son-in-law, Thomas Baveric, with the stipulation that if ever the said Baveric should sell the same, his son, Ephraim, should have the preference as a purchaser. Roger Buck married Susannah, who died September 10, 1685. They were the parents of :


I. Samuel, born February 6, 1642, died September 21, 1690; married, March 16, 1670, Rachel Leven.


2. John, born September 3, 1644.


3. Ephraim, of whom further.


4. Mary, born January 23, 1648, died August 31, 1669.


5. Lydia, born in 1650; married, March 3, 1673, Henry Smith.


6. Ruth, born November 6, 1653, died September 2, 1683; married, in 1674, Thomas Baveric.


7. Elizabeth, born July 5, 1657; married, August 28, 1678, Joshua Wood.


8. Anne, died April 13, 1675.


(III) EPHRAIM BUCK, son of Roger and Susannah Buck, was born in Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, July 26, 1646. He owned quite a large tract of land in that vicinity and no doubt superintended its cultivation. We can find no record of any other occupation. He married, January 1, 1671, Sarah Brooks, born at Woburn, Massachu- setts, November 21, 1652, daughter of John and Eunice ( Mousall) Brooks, and granddaughter of Deacon John Mousall. The will of Ephraim Buck, made in 1717, is preserved. He had previously divided his property between his wife and children, reserving only the home in which he was living. Ephraim and Sarah (Brooks) Buck were the parents of :


I. Sarah, born January 11, 1673; married Thomas Grover.


2. Ephraim, born July 13, 1676; married, December 1, 1696, Esther Wagget.


3. John, born January 1, 1678, died January 24, 1678.


4. John, born February 7, 1680, died November 24, 1752.


5. Samuel, born November 13, 1682; married Hannah.


6. Eunice, born July 7, 1685, died in 1752.


7. Ebenezer, of whom further.


8. Mary, born October 28, 1691 ; married, in November, 1713, Nathaniel Spike.


(IV) EBENEZER BUCK, son of Ephraim and Sarah (Brooks) Buck, was born in Woburn, Massachusetts, May 20, 1689, and died in 1752. He removed, in 1723, to Haverhill, Massachusetts, where he passed the remainder of his life. In the "History of Haverhill" his name appears only on the tax lists, from which we may infer that the latter part of his life was quiet and uneventful. However, some insight into his characteristics and inner nature may be had from reading his will, which certainly shows unusual forethought in providing for the comfort of his wife, while his means were evidently limited. As the will of Ebenezer Buck was signed March


187


SMITH


9, 1752, and admitted to probate, June 29, 1752, his death must have occurred between those two dates, although no record of the day has been found.


Ebenezer Buck married (first), November 25, 1713, Lydia Eames. In 1723. he married (second) Judith Wood, of Haverhill, Massachusetts. Children of the " first marriage :


I. Lydia, born May 28, 1715.


2. Ebenezer, born February 22, 1717.


3. Jonathan, of whom further.


Children of the second marriage :


4. Mary, born April 21, 1724.


5. Asa, born June 23, 1726, died October 28, 1741.


6. Jacob, born June 10, 1731 ; married, May 7, 1752, Hannah Eames; had Moses, Asa, Hannah, Samuel, Elephalet, Mary, and Nathan.


7. Phebe, born May 21, 1741, died February 2, 1742.


(V) JONATHAN BUCK, son of Ebenezer and Lydia (Eames) Buck, was born in Woburn, February 20, 1719, and died March 18, 1795. He removed with his father to Haverhill, about 1723. His removal from Haverhill to Plantation Num- ber I, on the Penobscot River, Maine, was made August 9, 1762, the township being named Buckstown in his honor. It was incorporated June 27, 1792, and has since changed its name to Bucksport. Jonathan Buck was colonel of militia from 1775. He married, October 9, 1742, Lydia Morse, born in August, 1718, and died December 15, 1789, daughter of Philip and Mary (Brown) Morse. They were the parents of :


I. Jonathan, of whom further.


2. Mary, born September 28, 1750; married, in 1770, Moses Dustin; had thirteen children.


3. Ebenezer, born April 25, 1752, died April 20, 1824; married, March 5, 1781, Mary Brown, died May 1, 1849, daughter of John and Mary (Gilmore) Brown.


4. Amos, born July 24, 1754, died December 12, 1778; married, September, 1778, Lydia Chamberlain.


5. Daniel, born September 22, 1757, died November 18, 1826; married, April 24, 1783, Mary Sewall, born in 1762, died in 1841.


6. Lydia, born October 22, 1761, died November 18, 1842; married, March 5, 1780, Joshua Treat, had eleven children.


(VI) JONATHAN BUCK, JR., son of Jonathan and Lydia (Morse) Buck, was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, April 3, 1748, and died March 27, 1824. Several of his children have said that in his early life he was a surveyor. The time of his removal to the village of Buckstown, Maine, is not definitely known. In 1795, he was elected county treasurer (Bucksport). In 1803, when the town voted to call Rev. Mighill Blood to become their minister, he was one of the six original mem- bers of that church. In the same year, he was chosen justice of the peace, and in 1804 he was elected the first representative to attend the general court held in Boston. He was later elected to the same office in 1811, 1812 and 1813. He was largely engaged in ship building and showed much ability in this business. He was a man of ardent piety, quick and tempestuous in temper, but equally quick in regretting and acknowledging his errors. He was one of the most prominent men for many years in the management of the town affairs.

Jonathan Buck, Jr., married, in November, 1767, Hannah Gale, born in 1751, died in 1834. They were the parents of :

(VII) HANNAH BUCK, daughter of Jonathan and Hannah (Gale) Buck, was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, June 24, 1780, and died May 18, 1857. When quite young, she removed with her father's family to Bucksport, though some time later she returned to Haverhill for a time, to complete her education at Bradford Academy. She married Stephen Badger. (Badger I.) After the death of her husband, in 1815, Mrs. Badger sent her eldest son, Jonathan, to Alabama, to be in care of her brother, David, who had recently settled in the South; and placing her eldest daughter, Emily, in the family of her sister, Nancy, then living in Reading, Pennsylvania, she returned to her father's home, taking the younger children with her. In November, 1829, she went to Pennsylvania to visit relatives, with her daughter, Mary, and specially to be present at the marriage of her daughter, Almira, who had been spending some time at Reading Hall with her sister, Emily, often visiting their aunt, Mrs. O'Brien, of Reading. After this Mrs. Badger divided her time between her married daughters. She later took care of her daughter's (Mrs. Raiguel's) children, and a few years later moved to Pennsyl- vania with the family. In 1846 she returned to Bucksport to make a visit, but was induced to remain and she died there May 18, 1857.

(The Bull Line).


From the nickname "the bull," used because of the fierce disposition of the thickset proportions of the original bearer of the sobriquet, this surname is derived. John Bull is now the national surname in a similar sense. John le Bole was of County Somerset in the first year of Edward III; William le Bole was of County Cambridge in 1273, as were also Geoffrey Bolle, County Suffolk, Ralph de Bule, of County Oxford, and Robert le Bulle, of County Somerset.

I. Thomas, of whom further.


(II) THOMAS BULL, son of William and Margaret (Parry) Bull, was born June 9, 1744, and died July 13, 1837. He was, prior to the Revolution, and also subsequent to it, manager of the Warwick Furnace in Warwick Township, Ches- ter County, Pennsylvania. He entered the military service as lieutenant-colonel, but was taken prisoner at the battle of Long Island, and was not exchanged until he had spent twenty-one months on the Jersey prison ship. He was a member of the State Constitutional Convention of 1790 and was a member of Assembly in 1783 and 1785, and also from 1793 to 1801. He was one of the first incorporators of St. Peter's Church, East Whiteland, March 4, 1786, but as this was far from his home, he promoted in 1803 the building of St. Mary's Church in Warwick Township. He was a man of large means and of great influence. He owned nine-sixteenths of Joanna Furnace until within a few years of his death, when he sold his interest to Judge William Darling, who married his granddaughter, Eliza- beth Bull Smith. Thomas Bull married Ann Hunter. They were the parents of :


I. Elizabeth, of whom further.


(III) ELIZABETH BULL, daughter of Thomas and Ann (Hunter) Bull, was born December 19, 1771, at Warwick Furnace, died in Reading, Pennsylvania, March 23, 1835. She married John Smith. (Smith IV.)

Gribbel


Colonial and Revolutionary forebears of Elizabeth Bancker Wood ( Mrs. John) Gribbel, were among the most important builders and defenders of this country, and their descendants have carried on in their spirit. The name of Wood is com- mon to every medieval register throughout England, being derived from the locality "at the wood," that is, residence thereby. Sir Andrew Wood distinguished himself with the English fleet in 1480, Thomas Wood was Chief Justice of Com- mon Pleas in England in 1501, and many others have given prominence to the name.


(Bardsley: "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")


(I) EDMOND WOOD came from Oakham, Rutland County, England, but noth- ing is known of his family there. He came to Stamford, Connecticut, with his sons, Jonas and Jeremiah. In 1636, he was in Springfield, removed to Wethers- field, and in 1641 removed to Hempstead, Long Island, where his sons were two of the Patentees named in Governor Kieft's Patent of 1643. Children :

In a record of his land in 1669 he was called son of Edmond. For a time he was a commissioner at Southampton, Long Island, under the jurisdiction of Connecticut. He was a delegate from Huntington to the convention held at Hempstead in 1665, and in 1684 was lieutenant of Suffolk County Troops, Province of New York. He married Elizabeth Smith. Children :
