Dear Sir:-
I am sorry that I have asked so much, for I certainly did not intend to claim so much of your valuable time and thought it would be easier to make one search than to make one search than to make

to look for one at different times - But enough of that -
To-day in looking thro' the list of Early Marriages of Mass. I came across Dr. Benj. Tucker Jr. and Mary Thomas. Apr. 17 - 1760. at Middleborough Mass.
The Commonwealth of Mass. informs me that also. Benj. Tucker served in the Middleborough Militia since - in May and Sept 1778.

My ancestor was Benj. Tucker and he married Mary Thomas, coming from the Eastern states some where -
His children were - Dr. Benj. Tucker - m. Mr. Vile - Ephraim Tucker m. Nancy - Joseph Tucker mar Polly Turner - Lucretia m. — Ruth m. Daniel Malory - Sally m. Blodgett -
If there is a record of a pension given this man or his heirs - any facts con- cerning him will be very acceptable.
Very sincerely, Yrs. (Mrs. T. A.) Cornelia H. Watkins
