What other Tucker Families are near him? Any clues to his parentage. I'm not a descendant, just an interested Tucker Researcher. Brad, I found Achellis (aka "Kellis") in the 1860 VA Census Kanawha County. I cannot find him in 1850. In the 1870 WV Census Kanawha County, there is a Calvin Tucker listed with Achellis' wife and children. Calvin could really be Achellis, the age is off by 2 years, which isn't always a big deal with the census records. But what confuses me is that there appears to be another family living with them. There aren't anymore adults listed, but many children. One of the children is listed as "M" for mulatto, and five children listed as black. Also, there happens to be a couple of Calvin Tuckers in that area so I'm still trying to sort them all out. In the 1880 (WV, Kanawha County) census, he's listed as Kellis. The last census he appears in is 1900. There are other Tucker families around him. I also found an older Achellis Tucker in the census, can't remember which year, at the moment. More than likely it's his father, but I try not to assume things until I have proof. :-) Anyway, this is the line that makes me crazy...

Paula: I see you are researching the Sims family.. My GG GGrandmother was Elizabeth Sims, married Edward S Tucker. I have the Sims line and will be glad to share it with you. Elizabeth Sims parents wereWilliam Simms born 1768 and Mary Leavell born 1772 in Madison Co Virginia. Would you be interested in this line? I also have the Leavell line.
