Don't know off hand, Gretchen, about E. B. Tucker, but will dig into that part of my files for you.I found a lot of info when I went to Smyrna, TN for a week last October & spent a day in the Al Gore Sr. Research Center at Middle Tennessee State Univ. in Murfreesboro.They have all the research notes & photos used by Walter K. Hoover when compiling his book, A history of the town of Smyrna, TN. (Nashville, McQuiddy, 1968. 559 pp.) My records show that Silas Tucker & Melissa (Malissa?) Bowman had three children:Susan M. (b. 1831), Carrie Almira (b.February 18, 1833 & d. September 24, 1909), & Jennie (b. abt 1852).That last date seems a little suspicious, doesn't it?Can only tell you about Carrie's family at this point.I'll get that to you in the next few days.
Will try to scan the letters from E. B. Tucker & forward them to you.Would love to share info with you.
