There has been a lot of information out there lately about a Green Berry Tucker. My question is where did this name orginally come from.? Is Green a family name passed down? The reason I'm curious is my great-grandfather had it for his middle name. He was called Pleasant Green Tucker? I can't seem to find much information about him. I guess I'm grasping at straws. Anything would be some help.I know he is a Georgia Tucker.that lived in Conyers.He was born and died in Conyers. I haven't found a grave site for him but he is said to be buried in the Old Rockdale County Cemetery. .Thanks Florence
There is a Greene Tucker buried in the Old Tucker Cemetery in Macon, GA. He was born December 25, 1816 and died May 30, 1896. Mary Roquemore, wife of Greene Tucker is buried next to him. She was born December 4, 1824 and died August 4, 1903. I don't know if this Greene has any ties to Pleasant Green or not, so this is just a bit of information for you. The Rockdale County GenWeb site has a list of Tuckers buried in the county. A Pleasant Greene Tucker was not listed in that particular directory. The following is a repeat of something I posted several months ago about the Old Tucker Cemetery. OLD TUCKER CEMETERY MACON, GA ESTABLISHED 1825 The following list of names is taken from headstone photographs which I took at this cemetery on April 19, 2001. Also in this cemetery are an unknown number of graves with no headstone. Please note that this is not a complete record for this cemetery. There are a few graves with headstones that I did not photograph, as I ran out of film. Also, I estimate that there are at least 10 or 15 unlabelled graves located here and I made no effort to count them. Piles of rocks or bricks or rows of bricks, sometimes a mosaic of bricks often mark the position of the unlabelled graves. Though this cemetery was established in 1825, only a few of the older graves had markers with names on them. There may be a good cemetery record for this Old Tucker Cemetery in one of the libraries somewhere, which could identify the others buried here. If so, I should like to know about it. Meanwhile, this list may be of benefit to someone. Please note that I do not guarantee the accuracy of this list, but I think I exercised reasonable caution in listing these names.

Head Oct. 22, 1860 Jan. 27, 1936 * No picture was taken of this headstone. I did not photograph the headstone of James C. McCallum but wrote down the dates. Unfortunately, I recorded the first date as Sept. 15, 1931 and the second date as Jan. 29, 1838. It is my presumption that the death date should have been 1938, due to the range of the other dates in this cemetery.
