Descendants of Symon Tucker of Devon, England
Hi All,
I was researching the possibility that the Robert Tucker I found at the International Genealogical Index (IGI) christened on 19 Mar 1619 in Tedburn St. Mary, Devon, England, with parents Thomas and Joane, might be the Robert Tucker that diedbefore 19 Nov 1697 in Elizabeth City Co., VA. However, this appears not to be the case as I think the following will is his.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1673. The last Will of Robert Tucker of Tedburn. To son Robert, ^50. To children, Bridget, Elizabeth, Johan, John, Mary, and Peter Tucker, 20 each. To sons Thomas and Mark Tucker, the tenement called Colly-Hay, his residence. Residue to wife Bridget, who is Sole Executrix.
Proved nth April, 1673.

I found the will above at the link above along with all of the other wills in this post. I think the following will is Robert's father's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1647. The last Will of Thomas Tucker of Tedburn St. Mary, 3ist Jany., 1646.
35. 4d. to the poor of the parish, on the day of his funeral.
Legacies to son Robert, and grandchild Bridget, daughter of said son.
Residue to wife, Johan, who is Sole Executrix.
Proved 26th May, 1647.
Sum 6 1 i os. 4d.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that the next two wills are those of Thomas' parents and Robert's grandparents.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1613. Symon Tucker of Tedburne St. Mary. 2Oth Oct., 1613. To be buried in Church of St. Mary, Tedburne. Bequests to said Church and poor. To Jone, daughter of Henry Woodley, 3 5s. at 18 or marriage.

I think the next will is Robert's wife's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1704. Bridget Tucker of Tedbourn St. Mary, Widow, 27th July, 1703. Small bequests to children Joan, Robert, Peter, and Mark Tucker and Mary Rowe. Residue to son Thomas and daughter Joan, who are joint Exors.

I think the next will is that of Robert Tucker's son, Thomas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1720. The last Will of Thomas Tucker of Tedburn St. Mary, dated 4th Sept., 1718. Legacies to brothers Mark, Robert, and Peter Tucker; to kinsman George, son of Peter Tucker ; and to kinswoman Ann, daughter of Peter Tucker the elder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the next will is that of Robert Tucker's son, Mark as it was directly below Thomas's (son of Robert) will at the "Devonshire Wills" link.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1720. The last Will of Mark Tucker of Christow, dated 16th May, 1720. Legacies to brothers Robert and Peter, to nephews Mark and Robert, sons of Robert Tucker.
