Robert Humphries Tucker was a Civil War Veteran born in South Carolina in about 1843. The second from the youngest, his family moved to Lawrence, Alabama in about 1846. He joined B Company of the 16th Alabama Infantry when he was about 18 and fought in several battles including the Battle of Shiloh and the Battle of Stones River (Murfreesboro), in which he was wounded. On his return home, he married Mary Ada Brard and the two had six children. The couple moved to Parker County, Texas sometime around 1878-9, where Mary died of the measles. Robert married once more to Emma Redmon and moved to Southwest Oklahoma (then known as Indian Territory) around 1890. He had nine more children before his death in Clay County, Texas in 1919.
