My husband is related to the Tucker's of Stokes Co. NC. I know that the Tuckers, Steel/Steele's, Hawkins, and Caswell's were all in KY at some point and could have stopped off in TN. My husband's GGGG Grandfather was Anderson Tucker s/o Robert Tucker. Anderson was born in Stokes Co and migrated to LaRue Co. KY with his brother Paul. Anderson's daughter Letitia/Letty married William Steel in Stokes Co. then also migrated to LaRue Co. KY. There were Caswells (surname) also in Hart and Hardin Counties in KY at the same time. Perhaps this is the family your Caswell was named after. Look forward to corresponding with anyone related to the Stokes County NC Tuckers. I have estate records for Robert Tucker which names his children etc. Brenda Bells <maryanddonbell@multipro.com> wrote: 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 ==== TUCKER Mailing List ==== REMEMBER: Quote only the relative part of the message you are replying to, not the entire message.
