Tucker Family History (Kentucky…Ohio…California)

Robert Thomas Tucker (Nov. 15, 1896-Feb. 25, 1969) Mary Ada Tracey (1891=1981)

Son of Horace Greeley Tucker and Louise Yaney. Horace was the son of Thomas C. and Sarah J. Tucker

Born November 15, 1896 in Dayton, Kentucky (upriver from Covington), and died February 25, 1969 in Pasadena, CA. He married Mary Ada Tracey June 25, 1919 in St. Xavier's Church, Cincinatti, OH. Mary Ada was the daughter of Cornelius Tracey and Mary Ann Hopkins. Mary Ada was born January 31, 1891 in Cincinnati, OH, and died December 21, 1981 in Arcadia, California.

Notes for Robert Thomas Tucker: Robert Tucker’s daughter Mary Louise (my mother) said that Robeert and Mary Ada worked at Corcoran's in Cincinatti and she thinks her parent's friendship might have blossomed there...Mary Louise remembers as a little girl that they would take a wagon across the river to the county to see her father’s grandmother. His own parents Horace and Louise died when they were in the 30s. My mother Mary Louise was named after her two grandmothers (Mary Ann Hopkins Tracey and Louise Tucker). This Tucker grandmother smoked a little pipe (and may have been of Native American heritage??).

Louise Tucker

Louise Yaney (1872-1908): Louise is listed in the 1900 census: "Louise Tucker, 1872, 27 years old, KY birth, mother Kentucky, father Germany."  Louise died at age 36 of a stroke. I have her obituary. She had been doing housework all day and took a nap in the afternoon and never woke up. Cause of death: Apoplexy (stroke)
Horace died 3 years later.  Children: Florence, Sadie, Robert, Ed, Lonie, George, Elizabeth, Clara. Children were separated: Elizabeth was in a foster home, George was adopted bya couple named Gordon. Sadie, Robert, Ed, and Lonie lived with Florence in the family home. Robert would have been about 12 at the time. Louise Tucker and Horrace (sic) are buried at Evergreen Cemetary, Lot 31, section 28. Louise died at home, 109 McKinney Ave., in Dayton, Campbell County, Kentucky. Florence Tucker was still living there in 1910. The city directory lists a Henry Tucker at this same address (probably is a typo for Horace) since he didn't die until 1911. He is listed as occupation: driver.  Source: Mary Louise Pruett and the Covington Public Library.

In 1972, my sister Kathy, my grandmother Mary Ada Tracey Tucker and I traveled to Cincinnati for a family reunion. We drove out to Ed and Hazel Tucker’s house (Robert Tucker’s brother). We took highway 275 east until Montgomery Road exit. After turn, we turned left which was route 22. Continued on that road to Route 50 bypass. Turned left and that took us to Milford. Went to the next town and after you reach that stop light, their house was 5 miles from the stoplight.

TIP# 99 - REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIERS - RUSSELL & SCOTT:

Archived with permission of Sandi Gorin

http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Tips

As a new series of information for my readers, and to be interspersed with the

other tips, I am going to publish a list of Revolutionary War soldiers that was

was drawn up by Anderson Chenault Quisenberry, Secretary of War to Congress in

1835 and published later by the Kentucky Society of the American Revolution.

Quisenberry's original works were done in 1895, and at the end of the series I

would like to add some of his comments. These lists are all the pensioners under the

Act of March 18, 1818 and the Act of June 7, 1832. The first date is when the

individual was placed on the pension rolls; the second when the pension began.

Age, if shown, would be age at time of application (for the act of 1818).

Tucker, John, Pvt NC line; 17 Nov 1818; 17 Apr 1818; $96; age 81.
