George Tucker's wife was Mary Merrifield- from Frederick Co, Va. William Tucker lived neighbors to Samuel & Mary Merrifield/Merryfield I. Mary Merrifield is named in an 1765 land record Frederick Co, Va where Samuel Sr gave land "for love and affeciton" to Samuel Jr & names other children John, Thomas, Richard, Alexander, Mary, Rachel, Elizabeth & Dinah. 1785 Tithables Nelson Co, Ky George Tucker, John Merryfield, Alexander Merryfield- 2 tithes paid. Thomas Merryfield- 1 tithe paid (4 marriages for Thomas in Nelson Co- believed to be Sr & Jr but have not proven- a Thomas Merrifield also married Maria Leshorn 1809 in Tn who is believed to be the s/o of Alexander but no researcher mentions him). 1786 Tithables Nelson Co, Ky" Isaac Cox list: John Merifield- 1 tithe paid (b 174?, m Priscilla Davis, d/o Ann Neal Davis, 1788 Nelson Co; was a member of the Shaker Community in Chrisitian/Trigg Co, Ky; Priscilla d 1826 bur South Union Shaker Cem; John filed for his Rev War App. 1836 Macoupin Co, IL.). George Tucker- 1 tithe paid David Cox's list Joseph Tucker- 1 tithe paid (believed to be s/o George). 1787: Thomas Merryfield -1 George Tucker -1 John Merryfield -1 Alex Merryfield -1 (m Rachel Boone 1787 Jefferson Co, Ky; was in Nelson, Jefferson, Shelby, Hardin, Larue Cos, Ky-- have much on him. Ch, land records, censuses, probate records, etc). 1788 George Tucker-1 1789- Do not have 1790: Joseph Tucker, Peter Tucker- 2 (Father Joseph & son Peter) on another list: George Tucker-1 John Tucker -1 (son of George- is next door to George-researchers don't list him either). Next door to Samuel Howard & John Hughes (Howards & Hughes connected to Merrifield family, too). 1791: pg 50 John Tucker-1 Geroge Tucker-1 pg 59: Joseph, Peter, Thomas Tucker-3 ( father Joseph, sons Peter & Thomas- has to be). on another list: Thomas Merryfield & D. Allen -2 (do not know where Thomas is in other years- he moves around alot- have not found other Merrifield's either yet.). Then: Peter m Rachel Edwards June 1, 1790 Jefferson Co, KY (have Edwards line way back) Peter m Christina Hagan May 8, 1794 Nelson Co, Ky ( I also have Hagan line) Peter m Susanna Meeks Jul 3, 1801 Breckenridge Co, KY Thomas m Chloe Manning Jan 31, 1794 Washington Co, kY Thomas Tucker m Catherine Hessler Aug 17, 1803 Bracken Co, Ky (Hessler may be Hassler- which I also have- very old in Pa- do know that a descendant of the Pa Hassler was in Tn- then up into Ky). Thomas C. m Elizabeth Cutwright Mar 3, 1826 Hardin Co, Ky.( C I have Fannie R. Tucker, b ca 1829, m Benjamin Franklin Medcalf (b ca 1829) Oct 30, 1849 LaRue co, Ky. she is d/o Thomas & Elizabeth (Cutwright??) Tucker. Benjamin F. s/o Joseph & Nancy Ann Figg Medcalf, Sr. (were my 3rd GGpts 2Xs). CH: Sarah E. b ca 1852 Cora Ann b ca 1853, m Alsend Burchell Jan 19, 1891 LaRue Co. Mary Belle b ca 1857, m Noah Bryant Oct 7, 1879 Meade Co, Ky Mrs Jeanne Weaver of Morgantown, Ind is a descendant of George & Mary Merrifield Tucker. She clings to the old research data of the Merrifield Family & quite honestly I disagree with it to a large extent. I am finding other Merrifield's in the Nelson/Shelby Co area of Ky that early researchers doesn't mention. So, I am useing the old research data as a guide only. I am finding very probably children of Alexander & Rachel Boone Merrifield that is not mentioned. I am searcing for the parents of my 2nd GGf Samuel Merrifield b ca 1813, d 1865 (Civil War), m bond to Henrietta Johnson 1 Jan 1839. This couple is in the 1840 Cen of Hardin Co, next door to John Merrifield & 1 household away from Alexander & #2 wife Jane Turner. A John Merrifield m Anny Rood/Rude, d/o Asher & Elizabeth ?? Rude, 1811 Hardin Co. A John Merrifield m Sarah/Sally Welch, d/o John, 1816 Hardin Co, Ky ( have an 1819 land record that says John JNR & wife Sarah sold land to Alexander Merrifield, wit: James Redman, Lemuel Smith (son-in-law), Fielding & Sam'l Merrifield (2 sons). John JNR would be s/o John & Priscilla Davis Merrifield, not s/o Alexander & Rachel Boone Merrifield as researchers say). Lots of the old research data doesn't jibe with what I have found to date. The research was done by descendants of John & Sally Welch Merrifield many years ago- is incomplet & inaccurate. So, I am trying to correct it. I got off on the Merrifield's again, I am sorry. I have some on the children of George & Mary Merrifield Tucker that I will gladly share with you, if you want it. Researchers haven't been very complete in their data. They are so eager to copy someone else's reseach rather than do their own & compounds the problems. I do know that a branch of the Tucker Family ended up in Warren Co, IL. Lydia Tucker, d/o George & Mary, m Johnston Abbott, a dau Delilah Abbott m Benoni Merrifield ca 1835 Warren Co, Ill & their descendants are there. Have researched Warren Co, IL myself + I have a researcher who descends from Delilah Abbott & Benoni Merrifield. Benoni is believed to be the s/o John & Priscilla Davis Merrifield. Lots of data that I am trying to put together & it is very slow going!!!! I hope I have helped, rather than confused more!!!!! It seems like for every question I answer- about a dozen more can be asked!!!!
