There were two Frank Ruckers that lived in Rockingham Co., VA at the same time (oh woe).
Franklin Rucker, b. ca 1820 was the son of Jarvis Rucker (William, Thomas, Peter).
Franklin Rucker, b. ca 1824 was the son of John Frank Rucker (Angus, Ephraim, Peter). Was he possibly called "John" to distinguish him from Franklin in the tax records?
John Frank Rucker (b.1800) was the father of Franklin b. ca 1824. This Franklin married 15 Sep 1851 (mar. bond) to Sarah A. Herndon. They had 11 children. He also served in the Confederate Army, so you might find some info in the pension records. In 1870 he opened a Butcher shop in the town of Shennandoah.
It's interesting that you found the other Franklin in the tax records in Rockingham Co. as he is not in any census records.
How do you descend from this family?
