Lucretia is listed in many trees as the child of Thomas Wynne and Agnes Stith, but this doesn't seem likely. If the information for Agnes is correct, she would have been over 50 in 1712 and had her first child about 35 years before Lucretia was born. That spread of years for one mother, while possible, is very rare.

Which raises the question of whether this Lucretia Wynne, who married John Cox, is the same person as the Lucretia Wynne who married Joseph Tucker. There doesn't appear to be anything to suggest that was impossible (other than an unsourced death year of 1770 for the wife of Joseph Tucker).
