There were two contemporary Samuel Bucks in Woburn at the same time, sons of the brothers Samuel and Ephraim Buck. The older brother Samuel and his wife Rachel had a son Samuel born 1686 in Cambridge. The younger brother Ephraim and his wife Sarah had a son Samuel born 1682 in Woburn. Each married and had families, but it’s not clear which is which.

One Samuel married first Abigail Wyman and had children Samuel, James, Abigail and Hannah, and that Samuel married second Sarah Walker and had Sarah, Rachel, Judith, Elizabeth, James, Mary and Elizabeth. The other Samuel married Hannah and had children Samuel, Hannah, Sarah, and Zebediah. All the chidren from both families were born in Woburn.

One secondary source, the Transcripts of Epitaphs in Woburn First and Second Burial Grounds, says that Abigail (Wyman) Buck was the wife of Samuel Buck b. 13 Nov 1682, son of Ephraim Buck. On the other hand, Cutter in his Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connecticut in his writeup on Edwin Agustus Buck has Samuel Buck b. 1682 marry Hannah.

Perhaps the Samuel who named a daughter Rachel is the son of Samuel & Rachel Buck.

Ca 1711 Samuel first married Abigail Wyman (19966) , daughter of Cornet Jonathan Wyman (22116) (13 Jul 1661-15 Dec 1736) & Hannah Fowle (7246) (ca 1671-). Born on 1 Jun 1691 in Woburn, MA.124 Abigail died in Woburn, MA, on 26 Dec 1720; she was 29.124 Buried in First Burial Ground of Woburn.144
