THIS is in Amherst, County, Va. Where I was born. Then there another Drury Tucker Burried at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church Cemetery, on VA RT 617 Right the First Drury Tuckers Grave: SO: Drury Tucker, Mar. 13/1855 to Nov/13/1922. NOW I do not know of any of my Descendancy from the Tucker Family, BUT there has ben right nuch of the Tuckers Marring into My extended Family, There fore my interest in the Tucker Family. NOW: ABT the Idea of the Marrying AGE?? Seems that the uncontrolable human <URGE> I do notknow where your research was conducted, but I have found Many of the teen age females became mothers SEEMS that the purpose of the Common Law Union has been overlooked,THE reason for the Common law Union was that there were no Preacher too Marry the young Couples, Near by , those who fell in love would have wait for the Circut Rider to Marry them, BUT they had started the Family, a Bit ahead of the Preacher, SO they lived togeather, <in a Common Law Union untill the Preacher CAME along, & HERE is where so many Marriage brick walls come from, So many researchers are not aware of the Fact, Though the Marriage Licence was required in the County of the Bride, The Circut Rider Often found it more convenient to record the Marriage in the NEXT County. OH yes we know which County that our Ancestor lived in & that it was nessary to BUY the liscence in the County that the Bride lived in <BUT> There was no law stateing where the Marriage was/could be recorded. I am related to the Children of the TUCKER Wilmer UNION That is how I connect. <Bettie Tucker & Benjaman Wilmer AND Hawes Wilmer & Hilda Tucker in Amherst County MANY Years ago.
