I am trying to verify the death of a TUCKER daughter that was scalded to death. It is supposedly in a book HISTORY of COLQUITT COUNTY. Also, what is the name of Isaac's daughter that was killed by lightning? Was it Julia? Lafe

Covington, W. A., History of Colquitt County Atlanta, Ga.: Foote and Davies Co., 1937 The book does document, on page 59, the death of a girl by scalding, but she is said to be the daughter of Elder Henry Crawford Tucker (d. 1881). He had had three wives and 32 children. He was killed, by a runaway horse, at age 81. (A Henry Tucker in Colquitt is listed in the 1860 census as father of an Isaac Tucker.) The girl, no name given, was 17 when she fell into a kettle of boiling syrup and figs which she was tending in the yard. Elsewhere in the book is reference to cooking coffee in a 90 gallon syrup kettle in a yard for a wedding party by John Tucker, so the one she fell into was probably very big also, maybe the same one. --- Lafe Nelson <lanelson@execpc.com> wrote: > I am trying to verify the death of a TUCKER > daughter that was scalded to death. > It is supposedly in a book HISTORY of COLQUITT > COUNTY. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
