Thanks - I was looking for confirmation of Sarah Tuckers age at her marriage or evidence otherwise. Thanks for confirming what I found and for the additional information that you provided. After a couple of marriages, this Fitzhugh line, via Thomas Fitzhugh (son of Col William Fitzhugh and Sarah Tucker) and Anne Fowke Mason works its way through Smith and Hancock into my King line. I do not want to get into working the Fitzhughs at the moment. There is still much to be done within the early King line.
