    3. I'm afraid that I cannot help you much with the Hiram Tucker issue. There appears in the 1850 Lincoln County Tennessee census records an Allen Tucker Family (who married Edith Evelyn Felps) with a 16 year old boy listed as Doctor H. I have found in Tucker records compiled by other researchers this child identified as Doctor Hiram Hi Tucker who married Elizabeth Tankersley. There appears in the Lincoln County Tennessee Marriage Records a record that shows that a Hiram Tucker did marry Elizabeth Tankersley on August 25, 1846. But this cannot be the Dr. H, son of Allen Tucker and Edith. The first argument is that this marriage date was before the 1850 census and he is still living at home single on that census. The second is he would have been only 12 years old or thereabout on that date. The third argument is that there is a Hiram Tucker who appears on the 1850 Lincoln County TN census with a wife by the name of Elizabeth who would have been age 25 on that marriage date. This Hiram is thus a much more likely candidate. This Hiram Tucker and Elizabeth had at least two children identified as William age 4 and Edith age 2 on the 1850 census. I have not been able to identify either of these individuals (Doctor H or Hiram Tucker/Elizabeth) on the 1860 Tennessee census. Allen Tucker died prior to the 1860 census and his wife Edith Evelyn Felps Tucker can be identified but Dr. H. is no longer in that household. Thus I have not been able to follow either of these individuals further. Without additional information I am not able to name a wife and or children for Dr. H., or even verify that his name was Hiram for that matter, or to identify the parents of the Hiram Tucker who married Elizabeth Tankersley. I was hoping that someone on the Tuckerlist could shead some additional light on this issue. Allen Tucker is not in my direct line but is a brother to a distant grandfather. -Wendell Tucker-
