_____________________ ~ MARTHA EPES TUCKER ~ _________________________ "Martha Epes" was born about 1695 in Charles City Co., VA. She died in 1766 in Amelia Co., VA. _________________________ MARTHA EPES knew widower, "Robert Tucker, Jr.". He was known as "Captain". (His 1st. wife was Elizabeth Parham, & they had 5 children.)

"Robert Tucker, Jr." was born in 1676 in Charles City Co., VA. He died in 1750 @ Amelia Co., VA. He made his will on 9-26-1744 which was probated on 5-18-1750.

Their 4 CHILDREN who were all born @ Prince George Co., VA were:

~~ Martha Ann Tucker (b: 8-29-1719 or 9-29-1719; d: 5-9-1782); m: David Ellington, Sr.; had 10 children.

~~ Joseph Tucker (b: 6-22-1722; d: 1798); m: Prudence Wood; had 7 children.

~~ Daniel Tucker (b: Jan. 1724); m: Elizabeth Clay; had 13 children.

~~ Sarah (Sally) Tucker (b: 5-10-1725; d: 1783); m: John Jesse Clay; had 3 children. _________________________ HER HUSBAND, CAPTAIN ROBERT TUCKER, JR.'s LINEAGE:

"Robert Tucker, Sr." (1652-1704)

+ Elizabeth Coleman

"Captain Robert Tucker, Jr." (1676-1750)

+ Elizabeth Parham 

+ "Martha Epes" (1695-1766) _________________________ There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that places "Martha Epes Tucker" within the "Physical Neighborhood" of the following landowners/surveyors who often witnessed deeds & wills of each other & married their neighbors.

~~ John, Daniel, William Sr., & William Jr. WORSHAM William Sr.'s widow later married Col. Frances Epes II who was Frances III's dad.

~~ John ELLINGTON His wife was Sarah Sabrina Worsham. Their son, David, Sr., married the daughter of "Martha Epes Tucker" & Capt. Robert Tucker, Jr. = Martha Ann Tucker.

~~ John, Daniel, & Robert Sr. TUCKER These men surveyed land & worked on bridge projects with the Worsham's & John Ellington.

~~ Captain Robert TUCKER, Jr. After his wife died, he married "Martha Epes" who was 19 years younger than he. His son, Joseph Tucker, had 3 Ellington's listed in his will as an executor (Daniel who was the son of JOHN) & 2 witnesses (Sally & JOHN).

~~ Frances EPES III His wife was "Anne" Isham. "Martha Epes Tucker" named her 1st. child "Martha ANN" where ANN was emphasized in her baptismal record. Anne Isham Epes died in 1718; it would have been a tribute to this deceased lady to have named Martha's first child (who was born the following year) in remembrance of her. Frances Epes III's land also "joined" Capt. Robert Tucker, Jr.'s land. It would have been very convenient to marry-off Martha Epes (some relation to him) to his widowed neighbor!

These families were intertwined for decades within VA where they sold land to one another, witnessed deeds of one another, had their children marry into these neighboring landowners' families, surveyed land & built bridges with one another, & witnessed each others wills.

At-this-point, I'm not sure exactly which Epes Family that Martha descends from...she was married to a prominent member of the Tucker Family who was a generation older than she was when she married @ 19...she had to have had an older Epes relation which helped to facilitate her marriage to the neighbor of Frances Epes III, Captain Robert Tucker, Jr. __________________________ ~ Lynda, 6-great's-granddaughter to MARTHA EPES TUCKER through her daughter, Martha Ann Tucker Ellington. __________________________* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Aug 29 2021, 19:06:08 UTC
