Posted on: Irwin County, Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Irwin/10445 Surname: Tucker ------------------------- I have a Soldier's Pension Claim (Act of 1909) State Of Fl.,dated 1912, for a John J.Tucker b.5th Dec.1842 Irwin Co.Ga. Filed claim in St Lucie Co.Fl. John J. states he lived in Fl. continuously from 10 Oct.,1875. Enlisted in Brooks Co.Ga. April 1861 Co H. 9th Reg.state of Ga.(Conf.Army) . He states he was at close of war in Irwin Co. Ga.(wounded & home on furlough). I believe this John J.Tucker had sons John J.Tucker, James T. Tucker ,Jesse J. Tucker and Ike Tucker b.1874 Ga.d. abt 1950's Fl.(my husband's G grandfather) I haven't found wife to John J.Tucker yet.But, he & sons were in North Brevard ,Fl in 1890's and moved on down coast to St. Lucie Co. Fl in 1900's. Would like to find parents to John J.Tucker in Irwin Co.Ga. I'm sure he was from Tucker family in Irwin Co.Ga. Need to see census rec 1850. John J. may be son to Elisha Tucker b.1810 (on 1860 census Irwin) wife Zilpha Williams. Also Brevard Co. Fl marriages has a Zelpha Tucker marr to Harry Lee Hagy Feb 21,1895 (may be John J.'s dau.) Would like to hear from Tucker's from Irwin Co.Ga. Thanks,Linda
