I married into Mass/RI Tuckers (Morris' line). The ears seem normal to me. And isn't hair loss a maternally inherited thing? That is, men's hair (loss or retention) follows the maternal grandfather's pattern???? Now.....how about personality traits? My Tuckers tend to have a strong work ethic and a streak of stubbornness..... Carrie Tucker list moderator

My grandmother was Minne Lee Tucker and she married William Henry Hardwick. Stubborness? Oh yeah! But I can't tell if I got it from the Tuckers or the Hardwicks orrrr the Butler and Haynes side of the family :) We know that large ears come from our Butlers and now you're telling me we also get them from the Tuckers. What's a child to do? A few of you have mentioned Tucker noses, well if we blend the Butler with the Tucker, yipes! We'd have a no holds barred Jimmy Durante! My Haynes grandmother was a 'Missouri Mule' and if the Tuckers are as stubborn as she was our country is in good standing because nobody in their right minds would mess with these Americans! I saw a bumper sticker the other day and it read,"THESE COLORS DON'T RUN. NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL." That is the philosophy I have been raised with. It was taught to my parents who taught it to me. And I am teaching it to my children. My grandmother Minnie Lee Tucker had sandy brown hair with auburn highlights. She had descent sized ears and was a worker by any means. She had 10 children of which my mother is 2nd youngest. She had twins-Hulan and Harland Hardwick who died at about age 12. One of which was blind. Thinner hair seems to run in the family. I met alot of my Hardwick cousins a few years ago and one cousin, was a large man of goodly stature , blond hair, hazel green eyes and strawberry blond complexion. He must have stood about 6'5" tall. His 2 sisters were of similar complexion and coloring. One was rather tall and the other was about 5'2-3" tall. Sweet people. Diabetes seems to run in our family. I wish I could tell you more about the Tuckers but I am learning about them myself. It is fun to share this knowledge with you. Thanks for sharing yours with me. carol [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: Carrie Tucker <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 4:39 PM Subject: FW: [TUCKER-L] ears and hair > > > I married into Mass/RI Tuckers (Morris' line).

Carrie, are you from the Morris/Stevens line or the Morris/Gill line? I'm from the Morris/Stevens line and I think most of the were Introverts, any way most of the Tuckers I know never talked about the family, were stubborn, strong work ethics, and still have large families for the times-4 or more children. We most have brown hair/blue eyes but have some red shading in the hair, ears and noses are pretty normal, hair lines recede but no baldness. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carrie Tucker" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 5:39 PM Subject: FW: [TUCKER-L] ears and hair > > > I married into Mass/RI Tuckers (Morris' line).

We always say we tend to beat the mule and the brick wall in being stubborn! We also have the strong work ethic in my line. Carrie Tucker wrote: > >I married into Mass/RI Tuckers (Morris' line).
