I thought I'd try this (even if it is a remote possibility), since this news group isn't that heavily used :-). I'm doing some geneology on my family. I thought there might be a remote possibility that someone else might know about this and be a long-lost relative or something, since the side I have traced so far has tended to populate rather exponentially. Anyway, I know my great-great-great-grandfather was William Tucker, resident of Kentucky (listed as a "Kentucky Rifleman" in one of my sources). He fought in the war of 1812 under General(?) Hull. He was believed killed about 1814 by indians on his way home from the war. I would guess he was probably born about the time of the revolutionary war. William Tucker had six children, one of whom was my great-great-grandfather (Henry B. Tucker) who took the family to Oregon in 1852 via a wagon train leaving Ripley County, Indiana. From there, my family history is pretty solid. Also, my ancestrial line (Tucker) were early settlers of colonial Virginia. Can anybody provide me with more information about William Tucker or any of his other six children? If not, do you have any suggestions as to sources I might contact to further this study? Thanks much, Walt Tucker Tektronix, Inc.
