Philip's 2 oldest sons are not named in this Land Memorial, Michel and Frederick Buck. Michel born 1774, had moved to Halton Co., (Toronto) area and may have been well established.
Frederick Buck, b. 1772 PA, had married Barbara Leper, had at least one child in Niagara, Ontario, Phillip born 1800. Then the family is found at Buffalo in 1802, New York area in Erie County. There he had a total of 13 children, including 2 sets of twins.

In all the records of Philip Buck's wife name was Margaret. I requested the Baptismal certificate of their son, Philip Jr. born in Sorel, Quebec while waiting for their land to be surveyed in the Niagara area of Ontario, at the Canada Archives the baptismal papers were filed for Philip Jr. Parents were listed as: "Anna Marguerite (Margaret) SAULTMAN and Philipp Bucke" With a twist of French. Finally after all these years of research we now know her name. Her parents have not been located, as of yet!

When King George heard of the surrender he wanted to keep on fighting. The Parliament, however, was not willing. The King threatened to abdicate, and even wrote a letter of abdication to Parliament, but in the end withdrew it. He never got over the loss of the colonies, but he still hoped to profit from them. In a letter written sometime in the 1790s he remarked "it is to be hoped we shall reap more advantages from their trade as friends than ever we could derive from them as Colonies."
