Isaac Buck went to Scituate, Massachusetts, where he bought land. His wife, was Frances Marsh, whom he married before leaving England, and followed him to America in December, 1635.
In the history of that town he is described as follows: "Lieutenant Isaac Buck was a brother of John Buck, and was in Scituate before 1647.
In 1660 he built a house near the harbor, on the Duckfield, so-called even now.
He was a very useful man, often engaged in public business, and the clerk of the town of many years. He was a lieutenant in King Phillips' war and repulsed the Indians with great loss from Scituate in March, 1676. He died in 1697."
Thomas Buck was the eldest son of Isaac Buck, and he settled in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, before 1712. Mathew Buck was a son of Thomas Buck, and also lived in Bridgewater. He was the father of Daniel Buck, of Revolutionary fame, already referred to, who was born in 1762.
Judge Daniel Buck, of whom this sketch treats, was born in Boonville, New York, September 8, 1829. He received the rudiments of an education in the common schools and finished at Rome Academy, Oneida County, and Lowville Academy, Lewis County, New York. He came to Minnesota May 15, 1857, and pre-empted land at Madelia. In that year he settled in Blue Earth County. After leaving school he studied law, and when he came to Minnesota he was actively engaged in its practice. He was elected to the legislature in 1858, but the legislature did not meet in that year, so he could not serve. In 1865, while a member of the House of Representatives, he secured the passage of a law providing for the location of a Normal School at Mankato.
For four years he was the County Attorney of Blue Earth County, and in 1878 he was elected to the state Senate for the full term of four years. For five years he was a member of the Mankato School Board, and for five more he was a member of the State Normal School Board, and while serving in this last named capacity he assisted in the selection of sites for the Normal Schools at Winona, Mankato and St. Cloud. He had principal charge of the construction of the Mankato Normal School buildings.
He was Associate Counsel for the State at the time of the trial [p.445] of the five million loan bill, and was attorney for the claimants in the suit for the reward offered for the capture of the Younger brothers. In 1888 he was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, but was defeated with the remainder of the Democratic ticket. He was elected Judge of the Supreme Court in 1892, for the term of six years, commencing the first Monday in January, 1894, and was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court October 2, 1893, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Dickinson.
He had always been a Democrat, and as long ago as 1859 was that party's candidate for Secretary of State in Minnesota. He was a delegate to the national Democratic convention in St. Louis in 1876, and voted for W. J. Bryan for President in 1896. In the legislature of 1879 he introduced a bill for the insolvent law of the state. It was passed, but the governor interposed a veto. In 1881 he introduced it again, and this time it became a law.
Judge Buck was a member of the Court of Impeachment in the trial of E. St. Julien Cox. He was not a church member, but sympathized with the Quakers, his mother having been a member of that Society.
October 25, 1858, at Elgin, Illinois, he was married to Lovisa A. Wood, and three children have been born to them: Charles Delos Buck, February 24, 1864, died November 27, 1882, while a student at the state university; Alfred A. Buck, April 16, 1872; and Laura M. Buck, June 15, 1874. The latter is now Mrs. William L. Abbott.
