    3. Hi, I'm looking for any information on the family of Butler Leonard Tucker. Butler Leonard Tucker b.July 12,1842 in NC or TN, d.July 18,1913 in Detroit, Red River County,Texas. Butler Leonard married Eliza Jane Bunn Oct 25,1863 in Humphreys Co.TN. This union begat:John Rufus b.abt.1864, Francis (Frank) Robert b.abt.1866, Martha Elizabeth b.abt.1867, and Andrew Jackson b.abt,1870. All these children were born in TN. Butler Leonard's second wife, Martha Jane White b.Nov 22,1856 in Marion Co.AR d.April 15,1928 in Lamar Co. TX. They were married Jan 14,1874 in Humphreys Co.TN. This union begat: Rachael Elizabeth b.Mar 23,1876-d.Mar 19,1973 born in Humphreys Co.TN died in Red River Co.TX, Meda b.July 12,1879-d.Jan 6,1880 born & died in Humphreys Co, Daniel b.Nov 10,1881-d.1889 born in Humphreys Co., Joseph Clinton b.July 20,1884-d.1922 born in Humphreys Co. died in Paul's Valley,OK, William Cornelius b.July 24,1887-d.May 14,1932 born in TN died in Los Angeles,CA, Edward Howard b.Feb 3,1889-d.May 28,1935 born in TN died in Wichta Falls,TX, Leonard Wylie b.Jan 29,1890-d.June 17,1947 born in Love Co.OK died in Dallas,TX, Ada Ophelia b.Jan 28,1892-d.Oct 17,1972 born in Hickman Co.TN , and Rosa Lee b.Jan 12,1899. I have some family lore passed on by "Aunt Ada" that her father, Butler Leonard, "was a soldier in the Confederate war". I can find nothing to corroborate this. Butler Leonard Tucker is not listed in "Tennesseans In The Civil War", there is a listing for B.D.Tucker. The 1860 Humphreys County census has a B.D.Tucker 60 listed along with his wife Martha 53 and an 18 year old male Butler. Could this be my Butler Leonard? Is B.D. his father or grandfather? If anyone can help with this I would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance for your time and effort, Rick Tucker Gibson Co.TN
