He may have been the son of Robert Tucker and Elizabeth Coleman.

He married 1st in 1698 to Elizabeth-probably Parham. He married 2nd in 8 May1719 Martha (NO documentation for last name. Eppes surname was pure speculation!)

  • In 1727, Capt. Tucker acquired some 500 acres on Wotocamaick Creek and Middle Creek.
  • In October, 1741, he deeded to his son John, 165 and 1/2 acres for L100; to son George 200 acres for L70; and to son Robert 165 acres for L100. *

In August, 1744, he acquired 176 acres in Amelia County (after Amelia County was formed from Brunswick and Prince George Counties in 1734).

  • Capt. Robert Tucker died in Amelia County in 1750. His wife, followed by his son Daniel, inherited this parcel of land. Also named in his Will were children Joseph, Sarah, and Robert. An abstract of his Will is found in Will Book 1, Amelia County, VA., p. 63: Robert Tucker, written 26 September, 1744 and proven 18 May, 1750. Wit. John Cordie, Jr., Henry (x) Hasten, John Powell.

Capt. Robert Tucker, Jr. was born 1677 in Charles City County, VA, and died before 3 March 1750 in Amelia Co., VA.
He married (1) Elizabeth Parham 1698 in Charles City (Halifax), VA, daughter of Thomas Parham. She was born 1680 in VA. He married (2) Martha on 08 May 1719 in VA.

Children of Robert Tucker and Elizabeth Parham were:

  • 1. Robert, b. 1706, Prince George Co., VA; d. 1769, Lunenburg/Amelia County, VA; m. Frances Coleman, 1726; b. Abt. 1711, Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg Co., VA; d. Aft. 1769, Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg County, VA.
  • 2. George, b. 1710, Prince George Co., VA; d. 1784, Lunenburg Co., VA; m. (1) Frances, Abt. 1730; b. Abt. 1715; d. Bef. 1764; m. (2) Catherine Worsham, 1760, VA.

Previously it was believed he had a son James Tucker, born 1698. YDNA has proven James Tucker, Sr. was not his son.

Children of Robert Tucker and Martha were:

  • 1. Daniel, b. Jan 1723/24, Prince George Co., VA.
  • 2. Joseph, b. 22 Jun 1722, Prince George Co., VA.
  • 3. Ann, b. 29 Aug 1719
  • 4. Sarah, b. 10 May 1725

The cemetery is on Route #617 not far from its intersection with Route #616.

  • NOTE: Martha Ann Tucker connected to this memorial is in question.

Ann Tucker was not mentioned in her father's will written in 1744 nor did he mention any daughter named Martha or Martha Ann. It is believed that Ann must have died young.

  • Please disconnect Martha, wife of David Ellington from Capt. Robert from your tree. It is still unknown who Martha's father is or even if she was a Tucker. As the admin for this memorial I can't remove Martha Ann Tucker as Captain Robert Tucker's daughter.
