| Notes |
- Samuel is put here with Benjamin and Abigail because he fits into the time period according to the earliest Federal Censuses. There is no proof he was their son.
This family has plagued me for years. I have Samuel as son of Benjamin and Abigail Tucker because they are the only family that fit the time period and location for him. He was unconnected to parents for years. His 'parents' never appear in TN, so it is assumed he made the journey before 1820, where we first see him in the census records of Maury County, TN (Maury County TN Census, then the 1820 Fed Census). I have a marriage date to Susan Eagan (to further confuse the issue she is clearly written as "Susan Agree" in the marriage records for Maury County (TN Marriages 1780-2002). It's also curious that there is no record of the solemnizing of the marriage, just the license. Were they ever married? Who can tell. It's possible that Samuel and Susan were never really married and had 3 children in as many years. Something happened to cause them to split and Samuel married Elizabeth Duff and had Edwin and Susan. It's also possible that he was married to both (we're talking Tennessee here) :)
The Wilshier children: The 1860 Federal Census shows them living with John and Martha Gray Puffer. It's unknown if they were adopted or were foster-children. I've included them as a possible adoption after 1860.
