1.  Your kit number   --  160999  ____________

2.  Your name _ LIVING    ________________

3.  Why did you join the Lost Colony project? 

 I found  my family name in the “family of interest” list

4.  How is your Y-line DNA line connected to the colonists, the surnames, Native people or the location?

  Not sure, but I believe we may trace back to NC

5. Please provide a brief writeup (2 paragraphs to one page in length) on your line that has DNA tested! 

Our family follows this line.  Me, my father: Eddie E Buck b. 1931, his father Robert Lee Buck b. 1909, his father: Morgan Edward Buck b. 1868, his father: William Morgan Buck b. 1848, His father: Morgan Buck b.1804 (in North Carolina, probably; photo of headstone from Patrick AR cemetery attached to e-mail.)

Morgan Edward Buck was in the land for the Cherokee outlet in the Indian Territory in 1893.  He proved up on his homestead.  Two children were born in a sod house.  He then moved to other locations in OK.

The family belief is that we descended from 2 brothers immigrated from England and landed in Penn.  The family thinks that Bucks Co., Penn. is named for one or both of them.  I don’t.  I believe my ancestor landed in NC and moved from there to Penn and then back to NC or maybe VA.  I have not found the verification of this yet.  But the line back to Morgan b.1804 is pretty solid even though there are many Morgan Bucks around that time.

We are working to be sure that everyone who should be included in the Lost Colony, is in fact included, and that folks who don’t have a potential link to the colonists have the opportunity to join a project more suited to their needs.
