General Notes: Husband - John Tucker


Prior to 1770 there came from Maryland to Washington County, Pennsylvania, one John Tucker, who, after the Government survey, took up 400 acres of what is known as the "Grace tract" in Hanover township, having made improvements on a tomahawk claim, several years in advance of the Government survey. He was a large man and as straight as an Indian, a despiser of the lazy man and the rascal, and was an honest Quaker. Before coming to Washington County his first wife died, leaving two sons. He married his second wife shortly before leaving Maryland, and she, with the two sons, accompanied him to Washington County. John Tucker was the founder of Tucker's Church, which was built in 1823, and which was long known by that name. He was among the earliest residents of the county, from whom the majority of the families of the name in Hanover township were descended. Many were the trials and struggles endured by the old pioneer. He lived to the ripe old age of one hundred years, and was buried in the Tucker's Church cemetery, where his wife was also interred.
