Tucker Lineage

There are 2 different Tucker families in this genealogy that intermarried.  There is no known relationship between these families, other than the intermarriage.  The descendants of John Tucker are the main Tucker lineage for this genealogy (see first lineage list, below).  The descendants of Samuel Tucker are an incidental lineage in this genealogy (see second lineage list, below).  The intermarriage is between Patty Tucker, a daughter of John Tucker, and Samuel Tucker.

Historical accounts show a John Tucker [iii] who came from New Jersey to Ohio with Henry Tucker (g.15), but they conflict on whether or not the two were related.  This John Tucker was possibly a partner with Henry in the construction and early operation of Tucker's Station at Springdale, Ohio (see also Henry Tucker in the first lineage, below).  Most accounts do not mention whether this John Tucker was married, had descendants, or what became of him.  However, John Littell's Family Records... has a John Tucker "of Springdale (not of Henry Tucker's Family)" with a daughter Rebecca who married in Ohio into the Squire family from Westfield and New Providence, New Jersey (see also Passaic Valley).

A Susan Tucker [iii] of Elizabethtown, now Elizabeth, New Jersey, married Benjamin Littell (g.14).  She is of no known relationship to the other Tuckers in this genealogy.  However, the Littell family is related through 3 other marriages to the Tuckers in the first lineage list, below.  There are at least 3 generations of descendants from Benjamin and Susan Littell, who lived on a farm in Westfield, New Jersey.

This lineage includes all descendants of John Tucker (g.14) who were born with the name Tucker.  There are no descendants of him living under the Tucker name except the publisher (although there are Tuckers living under married names).  In order for anyone else named Tucker to be related to this lineage, they must be related to an unknown sibling or ancestor of John Tucker.

John Tucker lived "on Stoney Hill Valley" near Westfield, New Jersey, in the Passaic Valley.  His first son, Henry Tucker (g.15), was a pioneer in what is now metropolitan Cincinnati, Ohio.  Henry built Tucker's Station as the farthest outpost in 1793 in what is now Woodlawn, Ohio, a suburb north of Cincinnati.  The Tucker farm ran south and east from the modern intersection of Glendale-Milford Road and Springfield Pike.

Some of the family moved to Indiana, where it married with the Routh family, and then moved to Summit County, Ohio.  Walter Tucker founded North Hill Coal and Supply Co. in 1915 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.  The coal company passed through Charles Stanley Tucker (g.18) and his son Charles Stanley Tucker, Jr.  It is still family owned and is now in the construction business.  As City Manager for Akron, Manning Perlee Tucker, Jr. (g.18) conceived the City's waterworks in Geauga County, known at the time as Tucker's Folly.  Later, he became superintendent of Akron's waterworks and the waterworks grew to supply most of the metropolitan area.

One nearly illegible family Bible record implies this Tucker name may have come from TOOKER.

Samuel Tucker is also from Westfield, New Jersey, in the Passaic Valley.  His ancestry is uncertain.  The first 4 children of Samuel are also blood descendants of the Patty Tucker (g.15) in the first lineage shown above.  The fifth child is not.  (See Samuel Tucker for details).
