Does anyone know who the John Tucker in Robertson County TX is in 1850????? In 1857, my ancestor Marcus L. H. Harry (born NC) who lived in Austin County Texas hired an attorney to act for him in recovering and selling land in NC, his mother, Sophia TUCKER Harry, inherited in 1817 when she was a child. This power of attorney was filed in Robertson and Freestone Counties TX, as well as his home county. The only reason I can figure out to file this power of attorney in Robertson County specifying the land his mother inherited in NC was if she has other kin that lived there. In 1850, I find a John Tucker living in Robertson County, 3rd district. He owns the farm but lives with: Head Sammy(?) P Phillips 26 M Farmer (RE: blank) Alabama Harriet " 27 F " John W " 6 M " Nancy " 8/12 F " John Tucker 59 M None 3200 North Carolina John Casey 24 M farmer Alabama Sophia was born 1804 in Lincoln County NC, daughter of John Tucker. who died in Lincoln County NC in 1847. She had a brother named John M Tucker,(born 1809) who lived and died (1878) in Lincoln Co. NC. Her grandfather was also a John Tucker. He died in Lincoln Co. NC in 1800. In the will of Nicholas ILER, he leaves the land to Nicholas Iler TUCKER for Sophia. Nicholas Iler Tucker is Sophia older brother. He sold the land in 1826. Sophia was still a minor. Marcus' father died in TX in 1844 leaving Marcus an orphan. He had an uncle, David Harry, in TX, who was named administrator of the estate. David Harry did nothing and it seems that Marcus was cheated out of any inheritance from his father. The Power of Attorney in 1857 also instructs the attorney to lay claim to any estate of David Harry too. Any help unraveling this would be appriciated. Betty Vaughn
