Tucker Trails Through Southside Virginia

Book excerpt: After many years of being out of print, the 1986 First Edition of "Tucker Trails through Southside Virginia," compiled by B. DeRoy Beale, is available again in this Reprint Edition. Formats include Gray Cloth Hardback, Case Laminate Hardback, and E PUB digital E book. In the book, the various Tucker families living south of the James and Appomattox Rivers in early Virginia are analyzed and sorted. After identifying Capt. Robert Tucker, Sr., his descendants are tracked, from about 1700 to about 1850, as they migrated from Charles City County, Virginia, through the counties of Prince George, Amelia, Nottoway, Prince Edward, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Halifax, and Pittsylvania. This process is documented with numerous citations from original land patents, land grants, parish records, deeds, wills, marriage records, birth records, tithe records, personal tax and land tax records, court orders, references from other published sources and personal interviews.
