BTW it is still called Old Buck. It is where you turn at Dexter Spencer's gas station. My grandmother lived there and I spent several summers and other times there.

: a quarter mile from the Middle Fork
: Bridge between Jackson &
: Booneville. His father was Jessee
: Johnson.
: LOTS of Johnsons settled in the Middle
: Fork Ky river areas. I note that my
: Thomas Johnson' father had lived near
: current Bell County/Harlan County line
: on Straight Creek and moved to
: Breathitt area circa 1840. MOST of
: their Johnson relatives had lived in
: now Pike County and seemingly in a
