1. | BUCK, Joseph was born on 6 Dec 1803 in Wythe County, VA (son of BUCK, John Christian and STEFFEY, Christina); died on 28 Feb 1882 in Monroe County, IN. Notes:
could this Joseph Buck who married Rachel Staley be the brother of Margaret Buck who married Rachel's brother Reuben Staley?????
Birth: Dec. 6, 1803
Wythe County
Virginia, USA
Death: Feb. 28, 1882
Monroe County
Indiana, USA
Note: The gravestone is Rachel's, Joseph was still living in 1870 and possibly in 1880, although the later census appearance raises questions because it lists him as divorced and his father from South Carolina. Some sources say he died in 1889. I'm sure he's buried near Rachel, but the -condition of her headstone makes the possible loss of any marker for Joseph no surprise.
