Notes

!Capt. John Tucker (the Captain title derives from mariner activities after he arrived in the Colonies) appears to have been born between 1610 and 1615, probably in London. Researchers who insist that he was born in 1599 in Milton Next Gravesend, Kent, the son of George Tucker and second wife Maria Darrell are wrong. George and Maria's son John married Anne Proude in 1620 and there is ample documentary evidence that he and Anne remained in England at least through 1654. (Robert Denard Tucker discusses this point at length in his 1983 book on the Tucker Family of Devon). Furthermore, John Tucker of Milton, Kent appears too old to have been the Capt. John Tucker of Long Island who was appointed a local Constable in 1671. In 1667 he was licensed to operate an "ordinary" at Setauket and in 1670 was licensed to "sell strong drink by retaile" at his inn. He also served as Setauket town clerk from 1668 to 1677. None of these activities suggest a man in his early to mid-70's as some researchers would have us believe.

!Capt. John Tucker of Southhold was likely a close relative to the Tuckers of Milton Next Gravesend --I (Doug Tucker) think he was a a grandson of Richard Tucker of London and great grandson of John Tucker and Elizabeth Renn of St. Lawrence Jewry, London. John Tucker of St. Lawrence Jewry was a pewterer and colonial merchant and was an uncle of George Tucker of Milton Next Gravesend. Both John and nephew George were descended from William Tucker and Josea Ashe of Throwleigh, Devon and from a Tucker clan whose ancient family seat was at South Tavistock, Devon.

!Capt. John Tucker emigrated from England before 1640 and he was a convinced, practicing Puritan. Some reports are that he settled initially in Hingham (south of Boston, near Plymouth) while others say he settled in Watertown (west of Boston, beyond Cambridge). I (Doug Tucker) don't think he spent much time in either place, but when he arrived, John Tucker was married and had at least one child -- a son Charles -- and possibly other children including a son named Samuel. (Charles was probably born in 1636 as he was elected a Freeman at Southhold, NY on 9 Oct 1662. At the time, Freeholder status required males to have reached the age of 26 yrs., and become members of the local Puritan church). John's wife was named Mary -- some reports suggest that her maiden name was Johnson and that she came from Hingham, Norfolk. Others say her maiden name was Gardner. I (Doug Tucker) have not been able to document Mary's maiden name or her origin, but it is clear that a Mary (?) Tucker was the mother of both Charles and Samuel Tucker.

!Soon after his arrival in Massachusetts, John Tucker and his family reportedly traveled overland to the Puritan colony established in 1639 at New Haven, CT. There, John helped set up an iron smeltering operation and later established a coastal shipping service that connected the New Haven Colony with its sub-colony at Southhold, across Long Island Sound from New Haven. This shipping service probably is the origin of the "captain" title later attached to John Tucker at Southhold, Long Island.

!Mary Tucker reportedly died in 1644 and by 1649, Capt. John Tucker had moved across the Sound and taken up residence in Southhold. Southhold documents show that Capt. John Tucker had acquired a house in Southhold by June 1649. By this time, John had married his second wife Sarah whose surname also isn't known. However I (Doug Tucker) suspect that her full name was Sarah Wines and that she was the daughter of Barnabas Wines, another Southhold resident who earlier had been a resident of Watertown, MA. (After Sarah's death in 1685, John Tucker married Hannah Wines, Sarah's older and twice married sister.) In 1664, Capt. John Tucker moved from Southhold to a new settlement further east on the island at a place called Setauket. There he farmed and established a boatyard that Tuckers would operate for the next 150 years.

!John and Sarah Tucker had two sons and five daughters. Hannah Tucker was born in Southhold in 1649. John Tucker was born in 1653 and Joseph Tucker was born in 1655. Ruth Tucker was born in 1660. There were three other surviving daughters but we have no names or birth dates for them. Hannah Tucker married Richard Smith in 1670 and Ruth Tucker married brother Daniel in 1687, both sons of Richard Smith Sr. founder of Smithtown, Long Island. (A sister, Elizabeth Smith, married Phillip Carteret, son of Sir George Carteret, one of the royal proprietors of New Jersey. Elizabeth Town was named after Elizabeth Smith Carteret.) John Tucker Jr. married Ann Wood and remained a resident of Setauket/Brookhaven. Joseph Tucker married Dinah Brewster in 1685 and, like his brother, remained a resident of Setauket/Brookhaven.

!(NOTE: Sometime around 1660, the Tucker family name began being spelled Tooker which was the traditional Devonese spelling of the name. Capt. John Tucker authored and signed many documents which have survived, and his name was always spelled and signed Tucker until the 1660's when the older form, Tooker, began to reappear. Whatever the reason, the Setauket/Brookhaven Tuckers suddenly became the Tookers although both forms of the name were carried on by different branches of the family.)

!Capt. John Tucker wrote his will in 1686 and wrote a codicil to the will in 1687. In 1686 he married Hannah Wines who was 63 years old and had previously been married to Francis Nichols and John Elton. Hannah lived in her father's house in Southhold and John Tucker moved back to Southhold after the marriage. The following was found in a book called "Early Long Island Wills Suffolk County, 1691 - 1703" ! By the tenor of these presents know ye that on ye 30th day of Sept. 1692 at Southhold in ye County of Suffolk on Long Island in ye Province of N. York before Coll.

!NOTE: Capt. John died in Southhold in 1692, but was buried in Setauket. His widow, Hannah, married again in 1693 to Col. John Youngs, son of Rev. Youngs, founder of Southhold. Hannah died in 1710 at the age of 87.

!Both Capt. John Tucker and son Samuel Tucker are named in or signed several Brookhaven documents (land deeds and loan agreements) dated in the late 1660's and early 1670's. Both the Tooker and Tucker spellings are used in these documents. However, Samuel Tucker is not among the children listed in Capt. John Tucker's will which was written in 1686. Therefore, Samuel must have died before 1686. He did marry and have children and I (Doug Tucker) have been able to trace son Daniel to Oyster Bay, NY, and a daughter, Elizabeth, who was married in Newtown and later migrated to Montgomery Co., Pa. There are also references in Brookhaven papers in 1696 to property of John Tucker, "formerly of Seatauket" and to "Samuel Tooker, late of Old Man's". Old Man's refers to the residential property of Capt. John Tucker before he moved back to Southold in 1688 after his marriage to widow Hannah Wines Nichols Elton. It was called Old Man's for almost 200 years before the name was changed to Mt. Sinai in the 1930's.

!Capt. John Tucker, of Southold attended Oxford and may be one of the two John Tuckers of London shown on matriculation rolls of 1629 and 1630, respectively.

!Several complex original legal documents and letters drafted in Capt. John Tucker's hand have survived and are in the special collections of the Connecticut State Library/Museum in Hartford. Capt. John Tucker also wrote his will and a subsequent codicil which are relatively complex documents. (He signed his will John "Tucker" even though most of his offspring were using the "Tooker" spelling by the 1680's. Perhaps he never taught his kids to read and write and the switch to the phonetic spelling "just happened". However, all of his sons signed documents with their full names -- not "marks" as was common.)

! Capt. John Tucker of Southold was a knowledgeable metallurgist. His grandfather, Richard Tucker, had continued in the pewter trade. Capt. John Tucker had helped establish the New Haven colony's successful iron foundry business in the early 1640's and had petitioned the Colony's leaders in 1655 to allow him to set up a "steel-making" foundry at Southold. Permission was given, but the available ore on Long Island was "sea iron", nodules found on the beach, which proved unsuitable for making steel under the high temperature cruicible process proposed by Capt. Tucker. But Capt. Tucker did set up a small iron smelter and smithy business, first at Southold and later at Setauket. The Tucker knowledge of metallurgy was passed down from Capt. John to his sons Samuel and Charles I of Elizabeth Town, as Charles I also ran a blacksmith business.

!I think Capt. John had a brother Charles that was probably closely associated with Long Island, New York and Essex County, New Jersey. Several references refer to an older Charles. Not the son of Capt. John, but perhaps the brother. This Charles apparently was born about 1616, but I have no further information on him.
