Penny, My John Tucker was born 3 April 1836 "somewhere in England". He came to the US and settled in SC, where he enlisted in the Confederacy in 1861 at Britton's Neck, SC. I found him in the 1880 Horry County, SC Census, but I have not been able to locate him in a census prior to 1880. He was married twice that I am aware of - first to Sarah Jane Tindal (b.1845, d. 1872)) and then to Mary Jane Todd (b. 1850-1853, d. 1910). Will you please check the book to see if John's spouse, Sarah Jane "Sallie" Tucker, is listed in the index. I know he was in the NY/Delaware area when he first arrived in the US. Many thanks.

Tucker wrote a little 43 page book on Henry Tucker born about 1627 in England and arrived with wife, Martha around the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Most of the names listed are James,John,Samuel, Henry, Brittain, Elizabeth, Hannah,Sarah, Mary. The family was pretty much in the NY,NJ area. > > When one female Tucker married a Tucker it was noted this was a different branch of the Tuckers. Dr. Tucker talks about the name Tucker and its different spellings--Richard Tucker being the first to come to the US in 1632 from England-bought land 1637 near what is known today as Portland,Maine. > > He did index the last name of the spouse so makes it pretty easy to find-so far none of the last names mentioned show up-if you have a last name and it is in the NY-NJ area before 1851, I can look and see if it is in the book. > > Penny > NM > > > ==== TUCKER Mailing List ==== > REMEMBER: Quote only the relative part of the message you are > replying to, not the entire message.
