Lewis William Buck
Lewis William Buck (1784–1858) of Moreton House, Bideford, and Hartland Abbey, Devon, was Member of Parliament for Exeter 1826–32 and for North Devon 1839–57, and was Sheriff of Devon in 1825/6.〔(Jenkins, Terry, Biography of "Buck, Lewis William (1784–1858), of Daddon House, Moreton and Hartland Abbey, nr. Bideford, Devon", published in The History of Parliament: House of Commons 1820–1832, ed. D.R. Fisher, 2009 )〕 A full length portrait of Lewis William Buck by Francis Grant (1803–1878) was presented to him by the people of North Devon after he had served eighteen years as their MP, now displayed in the billiards room of Hartland Abbey, with his electioneering posters on each side.〔()〕

He was a younger son of George Stucley Buck (1755–1791) by his wife Martha Keats (1753–1833),〔Vivian, p.723; Lauder, p.146, states date of death as 1794〕 eldest daughter of Rev. Richard Keats, rector of Bideford and King's Nympton and Master of Blundells School, Tiverton (1775–1797), and sister of Admiral Sir Richard Goodwin Keats (1757–1834).〔( Gentleman's Magazine, 1834, p.653, obituary of Admiral Keats )〕 A portrait of George Stucley Buck painted by a follower of George Romney (1734–1802) hangs in Bideford Town Hall. The family of Buck were Bideford ship owners and merchants who from the 17th century traded with the American Colonies and owned tobacco plantations in Virginia and a saw-mill in Bideford, Maine. Bideford was the leading tobacco trading port in England. The family originated in Ireland, having settled in Devon in the late seventeenth century.〔Jenkins〕 From their profits they acquired much land near Bideford and eventually by the end of the 18th century their estates almost surrounded the north side of the town from Westleigh to Northam.〔Stucley, Sir Dennis, 5th Baronet, "A Devon Parish Lost, A new Home Discovered", Presidential Address published in Transactions of the Devonshire Association, no. 108, 1976, pp.1–11〕 Their arms are: ''Per fess embattled argent and sable three buck's attires each fixed to the scalp counterchanged''. These arms are quartered with the ancient arms of Stucley by the present Stucley Baronets, his direct descendants in the male line, but with the Stucley arms in the 1st and 4th quarters of greatest honour.〔Debrett's Peerage, 1968, p.769, Stucley Baronets〕〔Vivian, p.723〕
