"tombstone indicates birth 10 Jun 1756.... is buried at "Buckton" where his two wives and his brother Charles also lie. ...
He moved from his father's estate to Front Royal, Warren County, Virginia, where he built "Bel Air" on 100 acres of tillable land and 1,500 acres of woodland adjacent to Happ Creek. In a letter written on January 27, 1918 by his great,,, granddaughter, Lucy Rebecca Buck, born September 25, 1842 A and died August 20, 1918, to my aunt Mrs. Worcester Reed Warner, she gives some interesting particulars concerning this old homestead ... of the family. She writes that "Thomas Buck built the house about 1797. The two wings were erected several years before the main brick one was made and I have heard our old aunt Calmes, who died in her ninety-second year, say that as a little girl she had played in the space between the wings. The brass knocker on the front door, one of my earliest recollections of the house, bears the inscription, "Thomas Buck, 1800". When our great grandfather died, your grandmother Blakemore (that was Letitia Buck who married John Mauzy Blakemore), being the youngest daughter and favorite child, inherited it and lived there with her husband and children till they removed to Tennessee when my father, William Mason Buck, bought the homestead and I was the first child of his family born there, in 1842, and lived there until my fifty-sixth year. It then belonged to my second brother, Irving Ashby Buck, who bought it from the creditors when my father failed in business and held it while we remained there till my father's death. After several years Irving sold the home to the present owner who converted it into what he considered a Colonial mansion. He destroyed the old time features by tearing out the old wainscoting and cornices, demolishing the west end and old portico with its Mount Vernon pillars and, having erected an ostentatious porch at the front and allowing the lawn and grounds to be wrecked, he sat down to enjoy the nondescript result of his work."
