Biography

Joseph Tucker was born in about 1779. He married Martha (Patty) Morse in Roxbury, Massachusetts, on December 29, 1899.^[1] The couple had ten children^[2] together:

1. Betsy (1800)
2. Louis (1802)
3. Linis (1803)
4. Lydia (1805)
5. Thomas (1807)
6. Charlotte (1809)
7. Caroline (1811)
8. Mary (1813)
9. Nancy (1816)
10. George (1820-1821)

The family lived in Roxbury, Massachusetts, for decades.^[3][4] By 1830, only 2 of their adult daughters were still living with Patty and Joseph at the family home.^[5]

Joseph likely died in 1837 at the Roxbury almshouse.^[6] His final resting place is unknown.

Research Notes

• Though his name is given as "Louis" on his son Louis's death record,^[7] all contemporary records list his given name as Joseph. As birth information from death records is often incorrect or incomplete, this should be treated as such; his given name was almost certainly Joseph.
• No vital records have been found for the birthdates of Patty and Joseph's children; the years in this profile come from family records and past genealogical research. Per the 1810 census,^[3] Patty and Joseph had four children (two boys and two girls) under the age of 10 at the time. However, in 1820^[4] Joseph is listed as living with his wife and 3 daughters (two under ten, and one aged 10-16), so some of their children may simply have been living with relatives nearby.
