For a while he lived in Westmoreland County but his lands being too small for the profitable cultivation of tobacco he moved to the Valley about 1735 and on April 28, 1740 he purchased land lying along the South Branch of the Shenandoah River which included the two farms called "Clover Hill" and "Cedar Hill". He devised 780 acres of this land to his son, Charles Buck II, and now known as "Buckton" the only portion which remained in the family is the private burial ground. On March 2, 1753 Charles Buck I purchased 150 acres of land from Thomas, Lord Fairfax, and the original deed is in the possession of the Buck family. On August 19, 1751 he was commissioned Lieutenant of the county Militia (Order Book no. 4, 175I-1753, p 16) and on October 3, 1752 he became Vestryman in Frederick Parish (Order Book no. 4, 1751-1753, p 319; "Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia", vol. 2, pp 281, 431, Bishop Meade, 1861). He was a trustee for the town of Strasburg, Virginia, in 1761 ("Statutes at Large", vol. 7, p 475, W. W. Hening, 1823). He was also overseer of roads and otherwise active in county affairs. His will is dated February 4, 1771 and was probated August 6, 1771 (Frederick County Will Book no. 4, folios 127-129). In it he names his wife, Letitia, and his three sons; John Buck, Charles Buck 11 and Thomas Buck V.

This was a port established by merchants from Glasgow, Scotland, who were engaged in commerce."
