Hello. I am a Tucker, too. My family originated in Devon, England about Swimbridge. Our ancestor is Edward Sherrod Tucker, father is supposed to be a John. I haven't been able to verify this. One cousin thinks the name was William. I'm wondering how we can find a list of the family. I know Edward had syblings but don't know their names. Who are you looking for? Possibly to be able to look for you here.

Hello Claudia, My great-grandfather Henry Tucker was born at Swimbridge, Devon, in 1855. I have details of several generations before him (his father was William Tucker, b.1809; his grandfather was James Tucker, 1762-1814), but I haven't found an Edward Sherrod Tucker. There could well be a connection, however.
