  http://www.ajlambert.com/ Posted by: Clarence Winfree (ID *****6130) Date: November 8, 2004 at 05:20:24 In Reply to: Re: Tuck's of Halifax Co Va by Clifford Tuck of 1563 James Winfree m. Elizabeth Jones, daughter of Ambrose Jones and Catherine Collins, daughter of James Collins. Their son, David Nicholas Winfree m. Achsah Tuck, daughter of John Tuck and Mary Powell. Their daughter Nancy Winfree m. Edward Tuck, son of John Tuck and Mary Powell. Acksah Tuck and Edward Tuck are brother and sister, and David Winfree and Nancy Winfree were brother and sister. I have a lot of this information in the book I published August 1, 2000, in which I own the original record book and bible records their birth, marriage and death deaths are recorded therein, including the hour of death for most of them, and in a few cases where they married. In essence, Edward Tuck and Nancy Winfree's children are members of both the James Winfree family who lived just across the state line in Granville County North Carolina from Virgilina, Virginia and the John Tuck and Mary Powell family who lived in Halifax County, Virginia. Edward and Nancy lived at Tuck's Cross Roads in Halifax County, Virginia right on the state line of NC and Virginia, in Virgilina, Virginia and their house is still standing. One of their descendants was Governor of Virginia. There is lots of information on that family and the Tuck's have an annual reunion there every year. Some of them are still living there. I have John Tuck's daughter Achsah Tuck's line in my book, titled "Genealogical Records by Lela B. Winfree" published August 1, 2000. You can look it up in the Mormon Church Branches as they purchased a copy of my book in early 2001, and I gave them permission to microfilm my book and signed another document giving them permission to put filmed copies of my book in all of their branches in 2001, barely a year after publication. I do have some errors in my book, but it is with an addenda in their branches, and of course, with this type of work, there is yet other mistakes here and there to be found which I add to the addenda as they are found, sometimes by myself or other members who did not and would not participate in the early stages of my work. In case you might be interested, my book is $25.00 postpaid within the U.S. only, 370 pages, back and forward indexing, and with some cross references to other families I have in my book in which some of their marriages took place. Mrs. Winfree Also: Aletha Jane Macon published a book in 1964 on "John And Edward Tuck Of Halifax County Virginia And Some Of Their Descendants". Her book is in the Libraries also. She was killed by a hit and run driver several years ago. We posted a correction to Page 17 of her book which she mailed to us, on the Tuck GenForum Home Page several years ago. It is under the name of Clarence Winfree or Lela Winfree. She did not have the birth dates of John Tuck's children when she did her book. We mailed a photo copy of the record book which was probably owned by James Winfree of Granville County, North Carolina and his eldest son, David Nicholas Winfree carried to Smith County, Tn in November 1822 after she published her book, a copy of which we purchased directly from her in 1964. In her book, she has Achsah Tuck listed as not married. She did marry too, and their marriage date, husband and names, birth dates and marriages of her children and descnedants are recorded in both a Record Book we own, leather covered, hand made and hand stitched and linen pages. In addition, we also own the Bible in which belonged to her youngest son, Benjamin Franklin Winfree (B. F. Winfree) born in Halifax County, Virginia; lived and died in Cove Hollow, DeKalb County, Tennessee, migrating to Smith County, Tn in November 1822. Some of the Tucks went from Smith County, Tn to Macon County, Tennessee and bought land there on Barren Creek from Benjamin Winfree, then several of the Tucks from Smith County, Tennessee and Macon County, Tennessee went into Kentucky, and Powell Tuck died in Butler County, Kentucky. They are descendants of John Tuck and Mary Powell. Edward Tuck of Virgilina, Virginia was a lawyer there and the Tuck's in Virginia have tons of information on him. DAvid Nicholas Winfree lived in both Granville County, NC and Halifax County, Virginia and land records in Granville Co., NC, auction attendance with John Tuck in Halifax County, Virginia and David Nicholas Winfree and wife, Achsah Tuck's remains were removed by the Corps of Engineers to Mount Holly Cemetery in Smithville, DeKalb County, Tennessee to make way for the Center Hill Dam. The Corps of Engineers in Nashville, Tennessee maintains these records.
