In 1869 there is a Jno. Rucker, age 40, and family in Shelbyville Ky. Born in Ky.

There is an Elisha Rucker, farmer and landowner, and family in Shelbyville at this time also, age 66. He was born in Va.

In 1870 there is a Francis Rucker, female, mulatto, in Shelbyville Ky, she is at school; she is living in the home of Anderson Burwell, black, farm laborer, and his family.

In 1870 there a number of black persons named Rucker, maintaining separate households in Shelby Cty. Most in Simpsonville Pct or Harrisonville Pct, but none I could find named Jane or Anderson.

In 1870, there were a James and Phoeby Dorsey, black, farm laborers, in Shelby Cty in Clay Village, living on the farm of a George and Susan Smith.

Look in the Dawes Rolls and other rolls for Native status/enrollment if you believe the families may have signed up;
