George Tucker IV was the son of George Tucker III and Elizabeth Sedley. His ancestral roots were in Milton, Kent, England.

He was Husband of Frances St George. He was Born circa 1621 in Milton-Gravesend, Kent, England. They Married 2 Nov 1646 at St Mary's Aldernary Cathedral, London, England. He was Father of Francis Tucker and St. George Tucker. He Died 21 July 1663, St Andrew, Holborn , London, England. Exact burial site unknown.

The children of George Tucker and Frances St. George include Captain St. George Tucker I (1651-1710), Major Henry Tucker (1652-1728), Francis Tucker (1653-1723), and John Tucker (1655-1715).

The Tucker family had business enterprises and estates in England, Bermuda, and colonial Virginia; earning their fortunes as mariners, ship owners, traders and buccaneers and privateers. George Tucker was among the first of the Tucker clan to settle for a time in Bermuda. He was a royalist. Many Tucker descendants later supported the colonial patriots before and during the American Revolution and moved permanently to Virginia as Americans to become planters and practice law and politics. Their descendants eventually sought their fortunes and land in other states including North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri.

George and his brothers went from England to Bermuda as young men circa 1636, where there was another relative of theirs operating shipping businesses, Capt. Daniel Tucker. George Tucker was heir to his father George's estate in Tavistock, Devon, England so returned to England after his father's death circa 1648. He seems to have spent most of his life in England being educated as a gentleman running family estates as an heir.

George's grandson was Colonel Henry Tucker of The Grove plantation, Port Royal, Southampton, Bermuda. His great-grandson was Henry Tucker of St. George, Bermuda. Portraits of this Tucker clan hang at Tucker House Museum in St. George, Bermuda under the care of Bermuda National Trust.
