The Head and Rucker families were intermarried in Randolph and Chariton Co's. CSA Gen'l and MO Gov. Sterling Price was related to these families, too. The Rucker's were very active in the Southern cause locally. The Randolph Co Historical Society in Moberly should have quite a bit of info on the Head's.
