I am looking for descendants and information on the following families. The Shep Tucker family was listed on the 1870 Drew County, AR census and 1880 Lincoln Co., AR census. I believe that they lived in that section of Drew County that became Lincoln County. This family may have lived near the Cleveland County, AR line.

1. SHEPARD2 Tucker (DANIEL1) was born in 1827 or 1835 in Alabama, and died Bef. 1900 in Arkansas. He married SARAH WHITE Bef. 1853 in possibly Mississippi, daughter of UNKNOWN WHITE and CINTHIA UNKNOWN. She was born May 1832 in Alabama, and died June 27, 1922 in Palmyra, Lincoln County, Arkansas.

Children of SHEPARD Tucker and SARAH WHITE are:
i. CHILD3 Tucker, b. Bet. 1850 - 1880; d. Bef. 1900.

ii. CAROLINE ELIZABETH Tucker, b. September 1853, Mississippi. Married John Ras RODGERS

iii. SAM JAMES Tucker, b. Abt. 1856, Arkansas; m. ROSA NELSON, Abt. 1880; b. Abt. 1862, Louisianna.

iv. NATHANIEL THOMAS Tucker, b. September 1856, Arkansas; d. Aft. 1930, Oklahoma. Married Jo Shelby Norvell and married Lela V. Hargrove

v. MARY ALICE Tucker, b. Abt. 1861, Arkansas; m. UNKNOWN WOMACK.

vi. ZACARIAH Tucker, b. October 04, 1862, Drew County, Arkansas; d. December 31, 1938, Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County, Texas. Possibly never married.

vii. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Tucker, b. February 11, 1866, Lincoln County, Arkansas; d. November 07, 1945, Seymour, Baylor County, Texas. Married Ruthie May MORAN

x. CHRISTA BELL Tucker, b. Abt. 1873, Arkansas; d. Bef. 1890.

xi. VIRGIL C. TUCKER, b. June 30, 1876, Palmyra, Lincoln County, Arkansas; d. 1957, Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Married Fanny Unknown

There is a Shepard Tucker in the 1870 Census of Drew County, Arkansas. He is age 35 and Sarah 37. Lists children: Elizabeth, James,Thomas, Marey, Jack, Franklin, William, & Martha. There is a Samuil White, age 34 with wife Ellen, age 29, living next door with children: Sarah,
Dora, Thomas & Rubin.

My husband's family are Whites but I do not know who Sarah is or who she may have belonged to.
Hope this helps!

Hi Diane,
I have the 1870 Drew Co and 1880 Lincoln Co. census with Shepard Tucker. I also believe that the Samuel WHITE living next door is the brother of Sarah "Sallie" WHITE Tucker. In 1880 the last person entered on Shep Tuckers household was a Cinthia IRVIN listed mother n law age 72 (1808) Al TN TN Perhaps a 2nd marriage for Cinthia?

There was a short Bio written about Shep Tucker and Sarah White many years ago by two of their grandchildren. These grandchildren are young enough to have known Sarah.

"Our grandparents, Shep and Sarah (Sallie) Tucker, together with Uncle Sam White and his family and at least one other brother of Sarah White Tucker's left Shelby, Mississippi and came to Caldwell County, Texas in 1851. They stayed in Texas 5 years and decided to return to Shelby, Mississippi. On the way, which was early in the fall, they camped in a large pecan grove and Grandmother Tucker's single brother ate a large quantity of pecans which were not yet fully ripe. He became very ill that night and died the next day and was buried where they camped. The family never went back to Mississippi, but settled in Lincoln County, Arkansas where they stopped on their way to Mississippi."

Per chance you are interested in a good researcher, I can suggest someone.
