I am looking for a Tucker mentioned in a West Virginia will. I feel sure the name is misspelled unless it is not a name at all. This will mentions Frances Coomes wife and all of their children and the unborn child. So - Frances Coomes must have died somewhat young. I don't know if the Tucker is black or white. It doesn't matter. What I am interested in is the name of the unborn child. The will was written in 1817 and my ggrandfather was born in 1817. I am trying to find his parents. Francis Coomes wife was pregnant when he died and apparantly this person was a great help to her in the funeral arrangements, will distribution and the pregnancy. At least it seems likely and likely that my great grandfather would have been named for him or her. His name is James Tucker Coomes, born in 1817, Maryland. The family was from Maryland, lived in W.Va. and Nancy, his wife must have returned to Maryland. Will of Francis Coomes says: Hardy Co., W.Va. Item #9, (on the backside of the will) I constitute and ordain Annafnan Tucker and my wife Nancy executors and setting aside all other wills and bequest here to for made. Annafnan must surly be Annafran. The r can easily be misread for a n at times. Could this be any of your family?
