Notes

!Samuel Tucker of Franklin Co., IN was the son of either Samuel or William Tucker of Oxford, Connecticut. Sam and Will were brothers and both had sons named Sam born in 1789. It has been tough to sort out which was the Sam who went to IN about 1815-1817. The probable father was Samuel Tucker because he died about 1808 and left his son as a ward of his grandparents, Samuel and Sarah (Hatfield) Tucker (1732-1810). Grandfather Sam died in 1810 and left several hundred dollars to grandson Sam. This was probably the cash grandson Sam used to acquire 150 acres in Franklin Co. IN in 1817 at the cost of $450. This land was located in Bath Twp., Franklin Co., Indiana.

!Grandfather Samuel Tucker migrated to Derby CT in 1740 from Newtown, NY (today Newtown is part of Long Island City, in Queens Co.) He arrived in Derby with two brothers but no parents. Daniel Tucker was the oldest brother at age 24. Samuel was 8 and younger brother Zephaniah was about 5. The circumstances suggest that their parents were both dead and that Daniel was serving as head-of-household. Daniel married Elizabeth Johnson of Derby in 1740 and proceeded to raise his younger brothers as well as a family of his own.

!Daniel had been "recruited" to Derby because he was an accomplished blacksmith. 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. This same knowledge evidently passed down to the grandson Daniel, also.

!Getting back to the Daniel Tucker of Newtown, LI who migrated to Derby in 1740. I (Doug Tucker) have not yet discovered the name of his father, but it probably was either John or Samuel. An uncle named Daniel can be traced to Oyster Creek, LI.

!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. Sianai in the 1930's.

!Samuel Tucker Jr. son of Samuel Tucker Sr. and grandson of Capt. John Tucker was probably the father of Daniel, Samuel III, and Zephaniah Tucker who went to Derby, Connecticut in 1740. All of the Derby Tuckers had sons named John, Joseph, and Samuel and two of the three had sons named Charles. Daniel the oldest of the three brothers, married Elizabeth Johnson in 1740, almost immediately after his arrival in Derby, CT. She is from the same Johnson family that came originally from Hingham, Norfolk and produced the Mary Johnson who was reportedly Capt. John Tucker's first wife, and mother of both Charles of Elizabeth Town and Samuel.

!Samuel and Almira Tucker of Franklin Co., IN had a son Daniel Tucker (1819-1903) who married Deborah Carpenter in 1840 and settled initially in Shelby Co., IN but later moved to Jay Co., IN in 1854 where Deborah Tucker died in 1866 after giving birth to 11 surviving children. Daniel remarried to Jane Wagner. They divorced in 1871 and she remarried to Charles Clay and the family moved to Traverse City, Michigan in 1880. When Charles Clay died in a railroad accident in 1887, Fred Tucker (son of Daniel and Jane (Wagner) Tucker became de facto head-of-household. He did not marry until 1906 when he was in his late 30's. His wife was Ica Moorman, only 16 years old at the time of their marriage, came from a devout family of Quakers with an intriguing family history.
