Mary Jane married James Floyd Rucks November 7, 1861. DeKalb Co. Alabama.

The 1880 Dekalb Alabama census Twshp 8 Range 6 #7 shows the couple aged 39 and 37 both born Ga with 8 children all born Alabama. Mary Jane does not have a birthplace listed for her father, but shows the birthplace of her mother as Georgia.

Her findagrave.com shows the same children minus Ophelia (born c 1869), but with slightly different names all including middle names. It also shows two additional children. Children (all per findagrave except Ophelia from the 1880 census) William P. Rucks 1862–1883 Elizabeth Adaline Rucks Copeland 1865–1927 Thomas Burel Rucks 1866–1959 Ophelia Rucks 1869- ? Wiley McMinn Rucks 1870–1952 James Anderson Rucks 1872–1947 Mary Cordelia Rucks Fuller 1875–1960 Rufus Walter Rucks 1878–1966 Josephine Wester Rucks Kesler 1881–1962 Jessie Walker Rucks 1883–1952

per findagrave, Mary Jane Nicholson Rucks Birth 8 Aug 1843 Marietta, Cobb County, Georgia, USA Death 11 Nov 1890 (aged 47) DeKalb County, Alabama

It should be noted that if Mary Jane was the daughter of James and Lavina Nicholson (rather than the granddaughter?), the birth place is highly questionable because James can be documented in Hall County Georgia in the late 1830s and his son Mercer, at least, was in Dekalb Co. Alabama by the early 1840's. We have no record showing James in Cobb County.
