He retained the rents and profits of said land for himself and his then wife, Mary Buck, during their lifetime. Mary Buck died in November 1871. Isaac Buck married Rachel ___. Isaac Buck died intestate 7 September 1871. Rather than going to court and having the court decide the division of property and estate, the heirs got together and made an agreement on the division of Isaac's estate. At that time, there was corn growing on the acreage that was not yet ready for harvest. Once the corn was harvested, Rachel believed that she should get a share of the corn. The corn was hauled off to Tabitha Buck and C. Mills. Rachel was suing the family to get her portion of the corn.
