SAMUEL TUCKER was born in Henry County, Ky., May 26, 1819, and is a son of
James and Mary (Kitcher) Tucker, natives respectively of Ireland and
Virginia.  James Tucker emigrated from Ireland to America and settled in
Fayette County, Ky., when twenty-one years old, where he married.  In 1836,
he moved to Marion County, Ind., located near Indianapolis, and shortly
after died, his wife surviving him about twelve years.  Their family
consisted of Robert, William, James, Harvey, Margaret, James R., Stephen,
Sarah and Samuel.  When Samuel was eighteen years of age, he became an
apprentice to the cabinet-making trade, after completing which, in 1839, he
moved to Martinsville, worked for a time, and then commenced business for
himself, which he continued a number of years.  April 23,1843, he married
Sarah C., daughter of Jeremiah and Nancy Vincent, and born in Franklin
County, Ind., February 2, 1823.  To this union were bequeathed a family of
eight--Nancy A. (deceased), Ledgard R., Clarinda, Rees H., Isaac W., Ida A.,
Palmanora and Lily P.  In 1865, Mr. Tucker moved to Indianapolis and engaged
in hotel-keeping one year, then returned to Martinsville and purchased the
Mason House, which he managed eighteen months, and finally moved to his
present home and farm.  Mr. and Mrs. Tucker are members of the Christian
Church.
