I cannot comfirm who Caswell's father was but I think he is one of the Tuckers that came from Burke Co., NC. There were a number of Tucker and Hartleys that came from Altamarle co., Va. to Burke and then many of these came to Hancock, Bradley and olther east Tennessee countries. Some of the Hancock Tuckers also went south into Bradley County. Some attended the same church in Bradley county, etc. I think it might be George David Tucker, but....? ----------------------------------------------------- Here are some mixed notes on Caswell, etc.: Caswell and Lucinda Staples Tucker lived and died in Tennessee.Ten of their 13 children went to Faulkner County Arkansas. At least four of the sons were soldiers in the Civil War fighting for the Union Army. They moved to Arkansas to homestead land. The Faulkner county archive said that there were 13 children and that a daughter married Andrew Jackson Battle. She is listed as the 6th child. Caswell Tucker was born in North Carolina but moved to Bradley County, Tennessee where he lived most of his life. He is buried in the King cemetery near Cleveland, Tennessee. The 1850 Bradley Co., Tn. census shows he and Lucinda in house #1378. The Census shows the following information. Caswell Tucker, 45 WagonMaker, NC; Lucinda 38, Va.; Thomas 21 farmer, Tn.;George 19 farmer Tn.; Daniel 16 farmer Tn.; John 10 Tn.; Eliza 9 Tn.; Margaret 6 Tn.; Charles 2 Tn. Caswell has been of some interest to the few who research the George Tucker family of (old) Burke County, N.C., because he eventually came to live in Bradley County, TN, and because his father-in-law, John Staples, lived near George Tucker's widow, Mary (d.1816), when the Burke census of 1810 was taken. Caren Tidwell's Staples material posted on GenForum on 24 August l998 (search "Burke County, N.C") adds another clue: John Staples is said to have been born in Albemarle Co. VA., in 1757. Although the pre-Burke history of George Tucker (cl743-cl803-04) has resisted all efforts to unveil it, his neighbors included a good many people who came from Albemarle. George/Mary (Davis??) Tucker had three sons known to have survived to parenthood: William. Sr.(l768-l808)who married Nancy Grider and died in Burke County; George David (b.1769)who married Nancy Hartley and perhaps left Burke Co. under his own steam cl8l5, taking most of a flock of at least l0 children with him, their n! ames mostly unknown; and John (bl777) who is almost certainly the John Tucker (l777-l870) who removed by 1820 to Monroe County, MS with his wife, Margaret Mayfield. Monroe County John was the father of several children, including Tilghman Mayfield Tucker (l802-1859) who was a governor of MS in the early 1840's. William Tucker, Sr., died at 40, leaving eight sons and one daughter (born 1790 to l809) all of whom were out of old Burke Co. by about 1839. Some of them took their widowed mother and moved to Bradley County, TN, where desc yet remain, though the Tucker name has faded away among them. They lie in Fort Hill Cemetery, Cleveland, TN. William Sr.and PERHAPS George David had offspring who lived in Hawkins County, TN. With an 1805 birth, Caswell was the right age to have been a child of George David. (The names of the children of Wm Sr., and John all are known). George David's eldest child was born in l790. If John Staples did not exit old Burke Co. until c1816, his daughter Lucinda was of marriageable age while they were there, were she born c1795, although this discovery is shadowed by the fact that seemingly she was Caswell's senior by a decade). I am not certain all the above Caswell/Staples dates are precise. If you see any promise this Burke County theory, we can refine it. Will you please tell me why at least some Caswell researchers assign him birth in Stokes County, N.C. The Tuckers lived in the area that is now Lenoir, in present Caldwell County, N.C., and were were represented there from cl778 when land records of their neighbors mention George's boundaries. His was a family of blacksmiths who form a colorful part of Caldwell County history. Blessedly, they were the only Tuckers of their time and place, a special good fortune because the Burke Co. courthouse records were pillaged in April 1865. I look foward to hearing from you.

I was interested to read this information on Caswell, Tucker and Staples. My mother's maiden name was Tucker, her earliest ancestor that we know of was Robert Tucker b abt 1770 in Lunenburg, Co., VA formed from Amelia Co., removed to Stokes Co., NC md Sarah Sallie Smith.. Robert's son Anderson Tucker b abt 1794 came from Stokes CO, NC to Larue Co., KY md in 1815 to Nancy Hawkins daughter of Wm and Nancy. This family intermarried with the Staples and the Caswell's too. Does anyone know this family above?

Alton Loveless wrote: >Will you please tell me why at least some Caswell researchers assign him birth in Stokes County, N.C. Alton, The above statement may have been in your notes from a "Sarah Rosenbaum, a desc of George David Tucker."? I am one of the researchers who believe Caswell Tucker was probably from the Stokes Co. NC area. A lot of people assume because he was in the 1850 Bradley Co TN census that he must have been related to the other Tuckers of that area. He may well have been in some way but what they never mention or take into consideration is where he was BEFORE 1850 and that was in Bledsoe Co TN in the 1830 and 1840 census records and tax lists. He is living in the same area as two other Tuckers, Elijah and William, who I believe to be his siblings. Elijah Tucker 1830 Bledsoe Co TN pg. 276 Caswell Tucker 1830 Bledsoe Co TN pg. 275 living bet. Wm Rippito and Benjamin Ahl (Hall) 9 houses between William and Caswell Tucker. Remember you mentioned a David Rippetoe in your notes? William Tucker 1830 Bledsoe Co TN pg. 275 I'm convinced one of these 3 Tuckers is the father of my ancestor Elijah Tucker b. 1832 in TN in the exact same area these other Tuckers lived in tho he is not listed in the 1850 TN census records! My Elijah's grandson said that his family was from the Winston-Salem, NC area. That was Stokes Co. back then. Elijah Tucker b. 1796 in Stokes Co., NC who m. Rebecca Morris there March 02, 1818. Rebecca's father is listed on the 1810 Stokes Co NC Census: 142 27 597 Morris Shadrak, 3 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 Germantown District Salem. Caswell and Elijah Tucker are still in Bledsoe Co. TN in 1840 and William is now listed in White Co. TN very near them still. I have researched most of their neighbors during this time frame and many of them were also from Stokes Co NC. The only other mention of Tucker before 1830 in Bledsoe Co TN is: 2-1813 Bledsoe Co TN Deed Book B p. 63 ...Bill of Sale ... William C. Tucker of county of Nottoway, VA to William Rippeto of county of Bledsoe ... $250.00 ... one Negro boy slave for life, named George ... abt 9 yrs. of age. There are no Tuckers listed in Bledsoe co TN in 1820. Nottoway Parish of Amelia County VA... Love to hear from anyone interested in Tuckers from Stokes Co NC or Amelia Co Va. I believe there is some connection between those lines. Mary
