Galoots,

I wonder if there could have been a connection through Buck & Ryan, London 
based tool merchants established in 1824?

Buck & Ryan are probably best known to us for selling Norris planes.

Brian comes up yet more tantalising suggestion of a transa atlantic family 
relationship...

I’d not expect Buck Brothers tools to have been made in England, but it 
still seems that an uncle, cousin, or wjhatever, could have retained an 
interest over here, whilst the young ‘uns went adventuring to the New World 
to make their fortunes.  Lots of opportunity in a new country for tool 
makers.   Perhaps the census returns would help?
