Son of Frances Tucker Sr. (1653-1723). Born at the Tucker family estate known as "The Grove" located at what is now part of Port Royal. Southampton Parish, Bermuda. Husband of Catherine Drury Tucker. Brother of Colonel Henry Tucker of "The Grove", Bermuda Tuckers. Father of Drury Tucker. Inherited land from his father's estate on Mawhipponack Creek, Prince George County, Virginia . Francis Tucker's Will confirmed JOHN TUCKER as his son:" I give and devise unto my Son John Tucker and his heirs for ever, that part of my Land Lying on the North side of Mawhipponack Creek". ( See Will of Francis Tucker of Bristol Parish, Prince George, dated 12 December 1722 and proved 10 December 1723. Left land on Mowhipponock Creek -several tracts- to sons Francis, John, Henry, Abram, and Mathew. Wife Mary, Executrix. Wit.: Mathew May).
Christening: John Tucker was christened in
1671 at St. Anne's Church, Southampton Parish, Bermuda.
The hurricanes of 1712 and 1716 destroyed many of the island’s wooden churches including St Anne’s. A church constructed of stone was erected on the site in 1719. Land for church was given to the parish by his grandfather George Tucker IV of Milton, Kent, England and Bermuda.
A graveyard with many historic headstones exists, but most of the oldest stones are deteriorated and illegible or no longer exist due to the passage of time and exposure to the elements.
John Tucker seems to have been among the sons of the Bermuda clan of maritime Tuckers whose male offspring were educated in Virginia and England. He probably traveled back and forth to England and Virginia from Bermuda with his father and uncles, who had business dealings in the colonies and ancestral property holdings in England as well as Bermuda. Many of the Tucker clan eventually took up permanent residence in Virginia before and following the American Revolution, with descendants of the line later moving westward into North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri.
