If you are Loree, or if you know of a Tucker Munro Phillips around 1889 plus or minus m. Lottie "Maude" Auberry (her mother was Lora Bryan of Mo, Pa and elsewhere) of Phillipsburg, La Clede, MO m. 3, m. Reynolds? OK? IT?m. 2?, m. Mary Susan Rambo of Dallas C., Mo, m. 1?, please let me know. This third wife, my great-grandmother, and he had Nadine, Albert, Daryl, Ruby, Mary Catherine, and Lora Opal, my grandmother, who married a Bone. Tuck considered himself half Cherokee. He certainly had the appearance of a Native American, for I met him as a young girl. There is talk of the Trail of Tears amongst the ancestors, whether or not from books, TV or Tuck, I don't know. He said that one of his wives and their babies were burnt alive by vigilantes, but no one has the same story as to who they were...post-Civil War vigilantes or, as I suspect, MO. "Regulators" or KKK, but no proof. But both these groups, were organized or re-organizing about that time. It is likely that his mother may have been Louisa Phillips and a "widow." Apparently, Tuck's father died, for they were together a long time, if his mother, indeed was Louisa, and had a number of children. I have a list of them in my files. . One census record says that Tuck's father was from TN, which fits in with the Trail of Tears theory. Louisa is found living in ARK, Osage, in another census, which also fits into the Trail of Tears theory. Her maiden name is unknown.She is found raising a half dozen children by herself with her eldest son nineteen. Tuck was the youngest listed. I believe this is probably his family but have no proof yet. My research in census records lists him as one year old in Ark, and born in Ark., Osage. The research Loree provided indicates that he was born in I.T. I am not sure if Ark. was considered part of I.T. at that time. Also. I found him living in OK with his brother-in-law, a Mr. Reynolds and listed as a widower. This may have been from his first or second marriage. This census fits his story and clears up somewhat the disparity between my grandmother's claiming he came from Ark. and my mother's saying he came from an Indian Reservation in OK, but I still don't know in which state or if I.T. he was born in. Also, Loree's record has Lora Auberry listed as a child of Maude (probably our Lottie Maude)and Tuck Phillips. Since Lottie Maude's last name was Auberry, this is surely she. However, to the best of my knowledge my grandmother was not born on an Indian Reservation. For one thing, at that time, the Cherokees were not amenable to having "outsiders" or people who weren't full-bloods on the reservations unless they could prove "blood relationship," which I suppose may have been possible although another legend in the family has it that Tuck left the reservation because he and perhaps his mother weren't allowed to stay.This would have been because so many whites were trying to get Indian money and rights by claiming kinship etc. I don't know Louisa's maiden name to research her background, but since she was the one who was widowed from Tuck's father's death, I suppose she might not have been allowed to stay, I don't know. Lottie Maude Auberry Phillips's father was Thomas N. Auberry. I have a list of the children. Thomas Auberry married Lora Bryan and I am still researching her background too.Lottie Maude had a brother name "Gene" Eugene, and sisters named Viola and Anna, maybe others. Anyway, If anyone knows of this family, I would be most grateful for any information about them.
