From the "Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography," Section titled "Colonial Virginians and Maryland Relatives, Moses Tucker," page 75: "Will of Moses Tucker... The Index to Will Book G, 1813-1817, Culpeper County, shows the will of Moses Tucker, Planter, on page 78, his inventory of page 86, account sales on page 96, division of estate on page 457 and his executor's account on page 458. That book is missing. The Culpeper Minute Book shows that the last Will of Moses Tucker was recorded on 21 February 1814. Richard J. Tutt, named executor, refused to qualify, bit Robert Hill, the other executor, qualified and gave bond. On 2 June 1814 (received 20 June 1814) Robert hill, executor of Moses Tucker sold to John Tucker for 236 pounds sterling and five shillings, land adjoining John Tucker. At that time, Robert Hill, as executor, also sold land adjoining John Tucker to Allen Tucker for 225 pounds sterling and five shillings. He sold and additional 160 acres (corner to Wilhoit, Wise, Foushee, and Henry Towles) to George Foushee for 625 pounds sterling. Witnesses were James Sims, Manion Wise and A. P. Hill."
