Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the records of Ruben Tucker who served in the Revolution, and of his sons Jeremiah or William Jeremiah and Druey.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 6315, based upon the military service of Reuben Tucker.
He enlisted in February, 1776, place not stated, and served as private in Captain Thomas Ruffin's company in Colonel Buckner's Virginia regiment. He was in the battle of Brandywine and at the surrender of Mud Island Fort and was discharged in February, 1778.
He was allowed pension on his application executed May 4, 1819, at which time he was living in Prince George County, Virginia. It was that that he was living in that county from eight to ten years prior to 1795.
His age was not shown.
He died January 7, 1821, in Prince George County, Virginia.
This soldier married in August, 1783, in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, Lucy Daniel.
She was allowed pension on her application executed March 11, 1842, at which time she was seventy-six years of age and a resident of Prince George County, Virginia.

The above noted is the history of the only Reuben Tucker of Virginia that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.

Enclosed is the affidavit you required in the case of Mrs Lucy Tucker widow of Reuben Tucker dec'd late of Prince George Co.:
Mr. Heath's certificate was enclosed to me and as the supposed time about which the parties were married is not stated in said certificate, I expect he thought simply saying that the marriage took place prior to Jan'y 1 st 1794 was sufficient.
I hope it may be satisfactory to you, since you have the family record in addition to this, which has every appearance of being correct.

dear Sir,
In Jan'y. 1821, Ruben Tucker a revolutionary pensioner (who had, about one year previously, obtained a pension of $96. per ann.) departed this life, leaving an aged widow in a very dependent situation; and who is now living in extreme poverty. I am under an impression that she is entitled to a pension also; and at the request of some of her friends, they have to enquire of you whether or not she be entitled, and from what period. Was old W. Tucker, and are his heirs, entitled to Bounty lands & to what much?
Please give me any information which will enable me to prove what the old lady and her children are entitled to -
With much respect be

I Francis Fann of the County of Prince George, and state of Virginia, now in the seventieth year of my age, do certify that from 8 to 10 years before John Fann (my brother) was married, and he was married (as appears from a copy of the marriage licence, certified by the clerk of our county, in march 1795,) I was called on by said John Fann to assist him in drawing the timbers together to build a dwelling house for himself, and was sent by him to get fire, and when I arrived at Reuben Tucker's house, he was then living where he died, and where his widow Lucy Tucker now lives; and from the number of children there present at that time, I am induced to believe they had been married from 4 to six years. After the building of this house my father cultivated the land one or two years, and it was afterwards rented to a certain Thomas Moody, I believe for two years; after which time said John Fann removed to this farm and remained there several years before he was married, which, (as stated above, took place in 1795.

W m Sir,
Yours of the 8 th June has been rec d in which you require the certificate of the Clerk (of the County in which Mrs Lucy Tucker of Prince George Co (was married) stating what evidence the records of his office afford in support of the marriage of said Lucy to Reuben Tucker dec d of said Prince George Co, and in the absence of such evidence to obtain from Mr. Augustine Heath an amendment to his certificate stating particularly the circumstances of his knowledge of the marriage, and also the period of it.
The law I know makes no allowance for inconvenience when evidence is required, but if the evidence in proof of a fact, be sufficient to prove that fact, then it becomes unnecessary to obtain more; and as it is very inconvenient to obtain a second certificate from Mr. Heath, I beg leave to make a few suggestions to you for your consideration in relation to the testimony now before you. (Mr. Heath I am informed is an old gentleman of high standing in society and whose word is entitled to credit, and he a "credible person" certifies that the marriage took place prior to 1794, and makes oath too according to law, if he imposes on the department in this, can he not impose on it respecting the circumstances also, and if a credible person makes oath to a fact, is it required that he should state the circumstances, which leads him to a knowledge of the fact unless there be some cause for suspecting that he is not capable of recollecting &c. but again, I have heretofore been required to obtain the ages of the children whenever the marriage of the

parties was not on record. This I have done in Mrs. Tucker's case, and the Magistrate states that he is acquainted with the family & believes the record sent is true - independent of this I presented a claim not long since with like testimony there is in Mrs. D's case, and it was allowed. (Mrs. Sarah Painter of Nelson City) widow of Henry Painter, if I mistake not I only sent you the age of one of her children, which I conceived was sufficient you have Mr. Tucker's register which was copied from the original when they could have suspected it, being any benefit to them, when you take all this into consideration I hope Sir, I shall be excused and not censured by you for asking another investigation of the declaration of Mrs. T. and the testimony accompanying it.
Very Respectfully Yr. Obed. Servt.

Madam:
In reply to your letter of the 24" ultimo, you are advised that in the Revolutionary War pension claims of John Tucker, S. 6274, George Tucker, S. 7763 and William Tucker, S. 7764, which are referred to in your letter, there is no data as to children.
In the claim of Reuben Tucker, W. 6315, it is stated that his daughter Nancy was born Feb. 1, 1903, but there is no reference to anyone named Ann Tucker Callie. If this is the soldier whose history you desire, please inform this Bureau and it will be forwarded to you.
In order to identify the record of a soldier of the Revolution his full name is essential. It is proper to add that the names of children are not necessarily a part of the data in said claims.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

In August, 1922, you sent me the record of one Reuben Tucker, a soldier of the Revolutionary War. This was the means of enabling me to ascertain my mother's family, etc. You will note that in connection with this record, you also sent me some family data, namely: the children of this Reuben Tucker and Lucy Daniel.
Now I want very very much to know the names of the parents of this Reuben Tucker. Have you this data on record, or simply the names of his children as per the copy enclosed?
Any information you can send me in connection with this Reuben Tucker, will be greatly appreciated. I have been four years trying to straighten out this line.
Thanking you and sincerely hoping you can enlighten me as to the above, I am,
