Marilee, Good to hear from another Tuckahoe decedent. I can not tell you much, but you are not alone. I have came across several people with this oral family history. I have started a E-mail Tuckahoe group and we are trying to compile our information. You can join the list from my homepage. Use the link below and just click on the gourd at top of page. I hope you will join us, I believe our ancestors want this us to know who they were. And in my research the only way this is going to be done is by compiling our oral family history to solve this puzzle. Please join us. Anyone with the oral family history of Tuckahoe or Tuckyhoe please help us out. My line is said to be Cherokee Tuckahoe.
