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.

Their names might be in the Dawes Rolls if only one of them was Indian or part-Indian. The rolls contain denied applications as well as accepted ones, but you would have to look at the actual microfilm of their records to determine their status. These are at the National Archives sites and may be available through LDS Family History Centers (not sure, but worth checking.) There is usually a wealth of genealogical info in those applications since the whole point of the Dawes commission was to determine who, by ancestry, qualified for land and/or compensation. George and Malinda are in the 1900 census in Burnet Co. with dau and son-in-law and are listed as W (for White) but that doesn't mean much. --- margie <leo@centex.net> wrote: > 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.
