George’s father, Edward, left England
and was recorded in New Brunswick
by 1790. Edward’s marriage was recorded in 1792. They had 9 children. George
was the 2nd oldest. Please see previous blogs for the other children
of this family. This blog will deal with George, his children and
grandchildren.
Edward Buck, Sr. (c. 1763 England–1826 NB) m. 1792 Phebe Elizabeth Tower (1777-1822)
Their 2nd child:
No one knows for sure who Phebe’s parents were, but the only
Palmer family in the Dorchester/Sackville area was Gideon Palmer’s. Phebe’s
name is not mentioned in his will, which is what poses the problem. Until some
record can be found, my theory is that she is the daughter of Gideon Palmer and
his wife Catherine Harper. This is based on George and Phebe having a son named
Gideon and a daughter named Catherine. Also in the birth years of Gideon’s
children there is a gap into which Phebe’s birth year fits quite nicely. My
theory holds that there was a family rift, after these children were born,
which caused Gideon to remove Phebe’s name from his will. I would dearly love
to hear from a Palmer or Buck descendant who might have the answer to this
riddle.
Catherine
Harper was the d/o Christopher Harper and his wife Elizabeth Leppington.
Christopher brought his entire family from Sledmere which is in Buckrose, East
Riding, Yorkshire to relocate on the vacated
Acadian lands. Christopher’s name was not on the Jenny’s ship list, indicating he may have arrived on an earlier
ship. They sailed on the Jenny, which
left Hull , Yorkshire, for Nova Scotia , in April 1775. Records show
that his nephew, Thomas King, who later married one of his daughters, was also
on this ship passenger list. Harper also brought horses and cattle from England . In
1777 his house was burned by the Eddy rebels and not long after that he moved
to Sackville. In 1809 he obtained a grant for the mill-pond at Fredericton and two or three hundred acres of
wilderness land in Sackville. They may
have been Wesleyan Methodist - many Yorkshire
immigrants were.
