WILL OF JOHN TUCK (I)
IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN, this 7th day of January in the year of our Lord Eighteen Hundred and One, I John Tuck of Halifax County being in a declining state of health but in sense and memory thanks be to God knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make this my last will and testament that is to say principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it and my body to the earth to be buried at the discretion of my Executors nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same by the mighty power of God and as touching such worldly estate where with it hath pleased God to bless me with in this life, I give and dispose of the same in the following manner and form.

Also from RoseMary's website:
It appears that John Tuck at first made his home near Halifax Court House, but later moved to the southern part of the county, settling in the Red Bank District on Blue Wing Creek and naming his home "Blue Wing". He acquired quite a lot of land throughout the years. Among his holdings were;
324 A. on Wynn's Creek, bought in 1761; 400 A on Aaron's Creek, in 1774;
250 A on Difficult Creek, in 1780;
and the following Land Grants from the Commonwealth of Virginia, signed by Beverly Randolph, Lieut. Gov,:
1 June 1782 - 258 A. on branches of Difficult Creek, adj. lands of Joseph Pulliam;
31 May 1787 - 478 A on draughts of Blue Wing Creek, adj lands of Street, Andrew, etc.
1 June 1787 - 400 A. on draughts of Aaron's Creek adj. county line & his own land.
28 March 1788 - 400 A. on draughts of Aaron's Creek, beginning at Field's Order line.
His descendants are numerous and widely scattered throughout our nation. However, large numbers of them are to be found in Virginia, many of whom are in Halifax County. In 1945 a great-great-great grand son living in that county, William Munford Tuck, was elected Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

[1] It is unfortunate that the original of John Tuck's will is lost, for an error was undoubtedly made in copying this name. It should be Bennett! Robert Tuck (1815-1904), a grandson of John Tuck, knew personally all of his uncles and in 1898 gave to his son, Wilburn Judson Tuck, a list of their names. In this list was Bennett?but no Benjamin. Moreover, this Robert tuck left Virginia in his nineteenth year, joining his uncle, Bennett Tuck, in Georgia, who had married Susannah Pinson in Virginia, his aunt, Jane Tuck who had married Boyd Pinson (a brother of Susannah) in Virginia, his sister, Prudence Tuck, who had married her first cousin, Eli Boyd Tuck (a son of Bennett and Susannah Tuck) in Virginia. As a final bit of evidence that a mistake was made in copying the name, it may be added that the name Benjamin Tuck appears nowhere else in contemporary records of Halifax County.
