NOTE: My GGGFather was Robert Charles TUCKER, s/o John TUCKER & Mary Ann STEAN - Robert was born 16 Nov 1843 in Springfield, Clark County, Ohio - died 6 Sep 1917 Shidler, Delaware County, Indiana. NOTE: Family lore is that John TUCKER died about 1850 somewhere in Ohio and that his widow, Mary Ann, "gave-up" her son Robert Charles TUCKER and his sister, Elizabeth "Jennie" TUCKER (b abt 1846 Springfield, Ohio) for adoption(?) shortly after her husband's death. In 1870, Robert Charles TUCKER (then 26 y/o) was a Farm Laborer living in the Concord Township, Champaign County, Ohio household of the widow, Margaret Susan (nee MONROE) NEER, widow of Josephus NEER. It is only suspected that Robert (& poss his sister??) may have been raised by these NEER's????? NOTE: As Robert Charles' last name remained "TUCKER", it is doubtful that he (or his sister?) was/were actually legally "adopted". They may have been only "raised" by a "NEER" family?? NOTE: For info re the TUCKERs, please see my webpage at the following URL: http://community-2.webtv.net/oslushmom/MyTUCKERconnection/ ____________________________________________ NOTE: The original information in the following was based on a "Family Group Record" found on the LDS "family search" web site regarding the family of Josephus NEER and wife Margaret Susan (nee MONROE) NEER.
