Anyway they married on 8 Jan 1862 in Oregon Co. 1860 Oregon co., MO Census: 12 Jun 1860, Piney Twp., p135:3 TUCKER, Mary, age 37, Seamstress $50, $50, born in NC Nancy, age 14, NC James, age 7, TN they aren't in Oregon Co, in 1850. Since James was born in TN, you might check for TN or NC for the 1850 census. Hope this helps, Lanita
