    • Reuben Rucker, Sr. and his second wife, Mary J.

      By 1818 Reuben, Sr., and his sons, Reuben Jr., Edmund, and Ambrose Rucker were buying land in Lawrence County, AL.
      Reuben Rucker was probably dead by 1830, because his wife, Mary, was purchasing land from the State on March 18, 1830.
      Reuben Rucker, Sr., was assigning land in Lawrence County, AL, to his son, Reuben Rucker, Jr., on February 19, 1825.
      Mary J. Rucker died intestate sometime in 1852.  Probate Court Records for the settlement of her Estate are in the Moulton, Lawrence County, AL, Archives.  Her son-in-law, John F. Goodwin was the Administrator for the Estate.  John Brislow, Tandy Key, and George Washington Alexander were the appraisers of the Estate.  Their appraisal was sworn before James Seward, a Justice of the Peace in Lawrence County, AL.  H. A. McGhee was Probate Judge.
