I'm looking for information on a George Washington Tucker b; 1838, I would like to find out where he came from before he came to Texas. He married Malinda Jane Johns(t)on , b: 1840, he is buried at Burnet Co. Tx. No one seems to know anything about them. One of my aunts said that helost his land and moved to Cooke Co.,Texas where she said THEY took his land away from him again and he just gave up. There is a George W. Tucker and a Malinda Johnson listed on the Dawes rolls ,I'm wondering if they could be indian. The only other thing I have heard about him was he fought in the war and he turned white headed over night. His father's name was G.W. Tucker also. Does anyone have any thing on this family? Any information would be a blessing.

Obviously, a different William (since I have a fixed death date, and this William would have been too young to have more than one child by 1804).

One thing you might want to do is go back to where you found those dates, look up the source if it is a book or transcript, and send for a copy of the original if it still exists. You'd be surprised as how much information is accidently lost or misinterpreted by perfectly well-intentioned and creditable people. If the dates you are presently using just don't work out, try re-reading the original to see if it could have been misread or even mistyped. Even if you don't discover anything different than the information you already have you'll still have a great item for your records collection. Elaine

I hope Fran doesn't mind that I am forwarding my response to her to this to the list, but it contains a general description of my Tucker line that perhaps might lead to other researchers making a connection. If my estimated birth date of my William Tucker is off and his real birth date is more like 1780 rather than 1765, then Fran's David Tucker (b. 1754) could be his father. But, this would then make my William Tucker too young to be the husband of Martha Ballinger, who was born in 1769. Quite a conundrum! -- Walt Tucker -----Original Message----- From: Tucker, Walt Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 3:32 PM To: 'TENNFRAN@aol.com' Cc: 'TUCKER-L-request@rootsweb.com' Subject: RE: Tuckers Fran, We might have corresponded before. My ggg-grandfather was William Tucker (of course!). I don't have his birth date, but I my thinking (if correct) would put his birth date around ca 1765. I don't know how many children were in his family or the names of any brothers and sisters. His son (my gg-grandfather mentioned that his father was a "Kentucky Rifleman" (which I've documented), was "originally from North Carolina" and, as I mentioned before that "his ancestors were early settlers of Virginia and the Bermudas". This last line makes me think I could be tied into any number of well documented Tucker lines if I can just get back far enough. My gg-grandfather also wrote that his father was "killed in the war of 1812", which I've also documented. What I do know for sure is that my William Tucker lived in Adair County, Kentucky as early as 1802 and maybe before. He shows up as an Ensign in the Kentucky Cornstalk Militia (1802) and several tax records and census records as owning land along Wolf Creek in Adair County (1805, 1810, and 1812). That land might or might not now be in present day Russell county, which was carved in part from Adair. He enlisted in Allen's Rifle Regiment of Kentucky volunteers for the war of 1812 and was killed at the Battle for River Raisin (south of present day Detroit) in late January 1813. My William Tucker is sometimes confused with other William Tuckers who lived in Adair County between 1800 and 1820. I've managed to find four of them (the two most notorious being William Wofford Tucker, who doesn't move into Adair until 1818 and his son William Tucker; neither has a connection to my William Tucker that I've been able to find). My William Tucker had six children, believed to be five boys and one girl. The only one whose name I know is Henry Bellinger Tucker (my gg-grandfather), born in Adair County, KY on December 4, 1804. I've long lost my reasoning behind this, but I think Henry Bellinger Tucker might have been fourth in the birth order with three older male siblings and one younger brother and sister. Now we are getting into conjecture, but a lot of circumstantial evidence suggests that the wife of my William Tucker might have been Martha Ballinger (who we know married a Tucker from records on the Ballinger side, but the first name is unrecorded, at least in any records I've run across). My gg-grandfather Henry Bellinger Tucker indicated his mother's name was Martha, but didn't mention the maiden name. He also named his first born child Martha. If you look at the middle name of my gg-grandfather (perhaps a misspelling of Ballinger), and also look at the Ballinger line (Martha Ballinger had a brother named Henry and her grandfather was a Henry), making Martha Ballinger the wife of William Tucker and mother of Henry Bellinger Tucker in my genealogy files makes a lot of sense. I'd rate it as about a 95% certainty. Martha Ballinger's father, Moses Ballinger (a Quaker, I think), originated in Guilford County, NC and was part of a settlement in eastern Tennessee - New Market - first in the late 1780s, moved back to Guilford County for a few years, and then back into eastern Tennessee in the early 1790s. If we assume my William Tucker is the Tucker who married Martha Ballinger, he probably tracked these moves and might have met Martha in or around Guilford County, NC, moved with her family to Tennessee, and then moved north into Adair County, KY in the late 1790s or early 1800s where he starts to show up on the records I have. From this, any additional leads are appreciated. -- Walt Tucker
