THE lineage of all the Tuck families, whose statis tics arc more or less fully given in this book, may be fraeed back to ROBERT Tu01r, who settled at "\Vinna cm1net, now Hampton, N.

Of bis two sons, Ellwitrd only, who nppoars to have been the younger, emigrutecl with his -parents, and lived in Hampton; and it is the genealogy of his de scendants, only, tl1at is here given.

In order to rectify nn error (which need not here be explained), and to bring the reckoning of time into conformity with the Gregorian Calenclar, so called, it was. ordered that the ltobcrt ijfud,, Tmi: pnternal ancestor of all the Tuck ( or Tucke) families that _have lived in Hampton, Rocldnghnm County, N cw Hampshire, nncl of all those that went out to other plnces, with their numerous descendants, came fi·om Gorlston, a seaboarcl town in the north easterly part of the County of Suffolk, England, bor tlcring upon the County of Norfolk, from which latter county came mnny of the enrly settlers of Hampton the Dows, 11Ioultons, Pages and others. Gorlston liC's nbont 125 miles from London, in n nc;rthensterly direction. Although not a lnrge town, it is n place of some note. To the descendants of Robert Tuck, it has a peculiar interest as the birth place of their first .. A.. merican ancestor, and the home of himself ancl his family to the time of their emigra tion. They naturally wish to know something more : of the town ancl its surroundings than merely its name 1 and point of location on the map of Engluncl. Some of them have, indeed, enjoyed the privilege of a per sonal Yisit to Gorlston. They have seen the to·wn nml it$ surroundings, and have learned something of its past history, by illquiries made upon the spot. Of 1 2 ROBERT TUCK, OF IIAl\IPTON, N, II. · this number is my friend Amos Tuck, of Exeter, N. II., from whom, in tbc summer of 1872, I received an in teresting letter, giving an account of his visit aml some of the impressions he received. Prci:mming that the letter will be of interest to others as well ns myself, I shall introduce it, 110nrly entire, as follows: · EXETER, N. H., JULY 25, 1872. DEAR Sm: As I know you to be deeply interested in the. antiquities of Hampton, I will give you a brief account of a recent experience of my own, which, I trust, will be of some interest to you. As you know, I trace my ancestry back to Robert Tuck, one of the original settlers of Hampton, in which town were born all my paternal ancestors since; and where _;;'lll of them, except my father, died. Mr. Samuel G. Drake, the antiquary, who also traces his ancestry, on the mother's side, to the same Robert Tuck, :1sccrtaincd, some years since, that he emigrntcd from Gorlston, in England; and :Mr. Drake visited that town some ten years ago. Being recently in England, with a few days at my disposal free from b,usiness, I concluded to gratify my own wish of looking upon the place, which our ancestor called home, and looke • nccorll~ of Hnmpton begin in 103S. t ltohat 'l'uc·k's name, whcrcv<'r I hnYe found It wrilt<'n u:v himself or by his con- 1•·11quwa1i,•s1 is gcncmlly withoutn fin:1l e. His gmmlson, John, sometimes wrote his 1,w n 111111ie 1ritl1, 1111<1 sometimes ,citl1011t, 1111 e. hlorc recently, the uamc is written i, Ith unly luur letter~. A few liuuilic~ 11,ltl un e. 4 ROBERT TUCK, OF IIAl\IPTON, N. II. person of my name now resides in the place, though I heard of several in other localities not far ofl~ and one, a minister, of the Independent, or Congregational order. The counties of. Norfolk anc.l Suffolk arc spoken of now, as the hot-bed of Puritanism years ago, and subsequently; and nrc now largely Independent. The people have limited intercourse with foreigners, and the parish clerk, in answer to my inquiry whether many people emigrated to America, replied that some we,;t, and one nrnn went about three years ago whom he knew. He was primitive in nll his ideas, and if one of our ancestors should rise from the dead, and appear as he was when alive, I believe he would scarcely better represent his period, than did this clerk, pious and good, so many generations later. I was struck with the resemblance of Gorlston and Yarmouth, in situation, to Hampton. One looks out easterly on the sea, and westerly on marshes, as at Hampton; and you hear the beach spoken of as at Hampton, with its public houses, in which sum mer boarders are accommodated. The people live partly by fishing and partly by farming, and I cannot doubt that Hampton nttrnctccl some of the original settlers,' partly nt lenst, on account of its resemblance to their old home. I did not sec any Ohl llamplon 11a1i1eti, except Palmer, on the signs of shops at Gorl slon, but I think _Rohert Tuck was not the only one of the liri-;t settlers of Hampton who came from that town. The fishermen p"iy their business in lnrgcr vessels than at Hampton, and go largely to the " Dutch Const," as they call it, 90 miles distant. May it not ,be that familiarity with that co:u,t acquired by fishermen, led Robinson with his flock first to Hol land? I suggested this to Dr. Palfrey, the historian of New England, who regarded it as highly probable. I observed, on my return from Yarmouth to London, that for generations the people have been clamming back the tide-water from the marshy lnnd, with very· grcnt advantage nncl success. 11any thousnnd acres, once snit marshes, have been converted into fertile arable land, and the finest south-down cattle were pasturing in large herds upon the richest grass on these meadows. I belie,·e it prncticable to create immense agricultural ·wealth in New Eng land hy similar defences against the sea, and that at some time in the future the work will be done. Still, it should not be under- AND HIS DESCE:N1>.ANTS. 5 taken without ascertaining carefully, at first, what can, ancl what cannot be clone, in resisting the highest tides nn 'rlic year of Hobert Tt1<.·k's birth is not lrnown...

"\Vhen this record wns made, only a small pnrt of the te1·ritory had been disposed of· by grant or hy sale. Scveml thousand acres were still held in eommon, to be grmi.tecl, sola' or divided, ns the free holders ancl commoners might consider for their iu te1·est. As, howeve~, the just claims of soi.ne of the ! commoners were greater than those of others, it was rn•(•essa1·y to consider and determine their respective rights. 'l~his matter was settled in 1646, by 1·egarding the whole value of the common lands ns being divided into 147 equal parts, which were called shm·es, and determining to how many shares ca.ch of the common ers should be entitled.

At the time of this grant, what is now the bed of the poncl was a tract of i wet lnnd coyerecl with grass and bushes, through - which the river ran, and passed on into ( or through) the Spring Marsh, retaining the same name. 'rhe pond wns formed by an inundation -of the sea, occa sioned by n remarkably high tide, in ]?cbruury, 1724. The outlet of the pond now bears a different name. .AJ,.T)) HIS DESCEND.ANTS. 27 ltfr. Tuck, having built a grist-mill, probably found the supply of water insufficient for the two mills nt the same dam, and thought it best to _build the fulling mill farther up the Nilus. He accordingly asked per mission from the town, and on the 14th of November, 1689, his request having been considered, the follow ing vote was l)::tssed: Liberty is grnnted unto John Tuck tp make a damm where Nil us comes out of Hasicn [Hassocky] meadow: and to sett up a fulling mill ; providccl it be fitt to goc and full cloth within two years after the date hcrcoff: And say'd [Tuck] is not to full, or dra,v down water, in hay time to doc damage; or els this grant to be voidc nnd to Remnine to the Towne ngaine. The first of these clams (the one authorized in 1686). was built near the dividing line between the uplmul nncl the meadow lying insiue of the bench-hill ( now west of the pond). It occupied- nearly the same site ns the tlum on wbieh "Leavitt't. mill," built about sixty years ago, now stnmls, a few rods above the ''Nook ~oacl," leading· to the North Bench. The other clam, granted for a fulling mill in 1689, was located a mile or more fa1'llwr up the Nilus. The fulling mill built there remainecl many years. At length the mill was neglected, the clam went to ruin, and the fall was not ng·atn utilized till 1867, when a new dam was macle, nml a shingle mill built and operatecl on the same site, a little west of the highway leading from the school- . house, in District No. 1, to Little River Village. After ~Ir. Tuck had built his two mills on separate clams, he still fouml that in some seasons there was nn inadequate supply of water. The principal sources of Ni1ns Rh'er, ns alreaL1y mentioucLl, were in Alder :Meaclow, n large tract of i:;f1ringy ground lying be- 28 ROBERT TUCK, OF IIAM.PTON, N. II, tween the "Twelve Shares" and the road leading from , . Hampton to Rye '' four corners." But the water from · the springs in this meadow ha(1 another outlet bcsit1es the ·Nilus, running northerly into Little River near the (at present) lower sawmill on that stream. By building a clnm across this outlet, nearly all the water from the meadow would be turned into the Nilus, thus increasing considerably the water power at each of the mills below. There was still another wny of enhancing the value of one of tho mills, tho grist-mill which was at some distance below the _other. About forty rods north of the ,c Nook" 1·oad are several springs-one of them a bountiful spring-from which fl.owed a stream often called the cc Nook Run," the chief source of Dow's River, then a tributary of the Ni1us, but now an inlet to the l\foaclow Pond.

He is snid to have been distinguished for his exten sive and remarkably accurate geographical know ledge. He was also noted for -his eccentricities. Hav ing inherited, besides the paternal homestead and other real estate, the grist-mill on Nilus Brook, built by his father many years before, he was himself the miller. The mill was about two miles aml a. ha1f from his residence as the roads then were. He owned a white horse, which is said to have grown olcl in -his service, and which was well known to all the people . living along the route. This horse he was accustomed to tnke with him, clay after clay, as he went to the mill, not ordinarily to avoid the fatigue of walk ing, for he selclom rode, but to be used as a· pack horse- to carry npon its back the bngs of corn nml grain that the people wished to scrnl to the mill, and to take back thQ meal to the several owners on his way home. This service was performecl gratuitously, ancl was a great accommodation to the JJeople. There were times, however-:n.ot perhaps very fre quent-when he would not thus accommodate, nor even deign to 11otice any one as he pnssecl to his min. "\Vlicn the '' odd :fit" was on him he seemed oblivions of every thing around him. The people perceived it almost intuitively, and at such times asked no favors. It is a tradition concerning him that women, wishing to send a small bag of grain to the mill, were :iccus tomcd to go to their doors and watch his approach, heing able to tell by his gait whether 01• not ho lrn Dea. Tuck was a man of mark in the town, as has been stated, aucl with his father filled contimiously for about sixty-seven years, the office of c1encon, which in those days was next in dignity to that of the minister; · ancl as, during those years, Revs. Nathan iel Gookin, Ward Cotton1 and Ebenezer Thayer, .all able men, were ministers of the place, there can be no question that these two deacons in their day were l1ighly esteemed by the people. It is traditional in Hampton that a somewhat sin gular plan was agreed upon by Dea. Jonathan Tuck .and Rev. Wnr(l Cotton, his pastor, for checking the latter, who was a very excitable man, whenever he might be (as sometimes happened) so worked up in preaching that his fervor was liable to be mistaken for anger. To show the plan clearly it shoulcl be state(l that it was customary for the deacons of the church tq occupy, tlnring the hours of religious ser Yice, a pew or sent known as the deacons' scat, uirect-. ly in front of the pulpit, but much below it, where tl;cy sat facing the congregation. The plan ·was for Dea. Tuck, whenever he found the pastor becoming too much cxcitecl, to strike his shoe against the wall of the pew ill front of him. The signal, when given, never foiled to produce the eft'ect intended.

Mr. Tuck, having graduated in 1723, studied for the ministry, but under whose instruction I am not informed. I think, however, I do not hazard much in suggesting that he was J)l'Obably guided in his the ological studies by the sound judgment aml the 1Yisc counsels of Rev. Nathaniel Gookin, the talented, judicious and beloved pastor of the church in his· native town, than whom it would have been cliflicult to find a more competent instructor. Under his min istry he had grown up from. early boyhood; of his church Mr. Tuck's parents were members more than a quarter of a century, a1td his father during many years an ofHccr. I have not asecrtaiucd how early l\Ir. Tuck began his ministry. In 172!) he was cngag·ecl in preaching in Chester, N. II., a place then recently scttlccl; and 011 the 10th of J uue, at a meeting of the proprietors, it was Voted : cc That 1'fr. J olm Tuck, of Hampton, is chosen to settle wth ye Inhabitants of Chester in ye work of ye Ministry." It was also votccl that c, 120 Pounds be Raised for ye support of ye Gospel Minis try by ye Inhabitants and proprs [proprietorsJ accord ing to their settlement for five years ensuing, and then be Raised as the law directs." A committee was chosen to communicate the votes to 1Ir. Tuck, nncl invite him to the work of the min istry in Chester. The committee having 1)erformed AXD HIS DESCE~TDANTS. 41 the duties assigned them, received ff~m 1'1:r. Tuck the following reply : Hampton, Oct. 7'\ 1729. To the profP ofy« town of Chester tht's day met at Capt. 1'Vin gate' s i"n Hampton: Gentlemen, Whereas you wth the freeholders of the town of ,Chester Did some time ago Invite me to y• work of y0 Ministry in y• town of Chester ; now these are to Signify that for Weighty R~asons I Decline settling there. I wish you n happy settlement in God's go~ The proprietors nt their meeting at Cnpt. Win gate's the same dny, "Voted, Mr. Jolm Tuck be paid thirty shillings per Sabbath for 14 Sabbaths Inst past."* In his comnmnication to the proprietors of Ches ter, it may be noticed that l\fr. 'l'nck simply states that he declines their call " for weighty rensons." It appears to me not improbable that his ncqunintnnce with some· of the inhabitants of the Isles of Shoals, mul his knowledge of the spiritual wnuts of that peo ple, may have led him to regard it as his duty to dc Yote his time and his energies to the improvement of their social nrnl religious condition ; and that this sense of duty may have been one of those "weighty reasons." Be this as it may, we find him not long afterward laboring among the people of the islands as their minister, and his ministry among them con tinued till the close of life. Isles of Shoals is the name given to a cluster of • Sec Chnse's History of Chester, N. I:I. 42 R0ilERT TUCK, OF IIA!IIPT0N, N. II. small islands, seven or eight in number, lying in the Atlantic ocean, ten or twelve miles from Hampton Bench, in a direction a little north of east. They con sist mainly of rock, covered in many places with a thin coat of earth, though there is but little soil fit for cultivation. These islands w~re discovered in 1614 by Capt. John Smith, who named them " Smith's Isles," in honor of himself; but that name was not long retained, and at an early date they began to be called as they now are, Isles of Shoals, or, in a fami liar way, "The Shoals." \Vhen discovered these islands lmd a very inhos pitable appearance, and they would probably have long remained uninhabited, had it not been for the facilities that they afforded for carrying on success fully the :fishing business. These advantages were readily seen, and they attracted settlers at a very early period; and for more than a century the is1nnc1s lrnt1 a population · of from three hundred to six hun dred people. · A meeting-house is said to have been built on Hog Island,* the largest of the group, as early as 1641. A meeting-house was built on Star Island early in the eighteenth centnl'y, The latter island, together with White Island, Londoners, and a part of Cedar Islancl, lies in New Hampshire, and was in corporated as a town, December 24, 1715. Several men had from time to time performed min isterial labor on these islands, but no one of them had been a pastor of the church before the year 1732.

Oue writer says of him : cc He was· esteemed a goocl man and a devoted minister." Rev. J-onathnn French, D.D., of North Hampton, writes in relation to him : . '' It is said that Mr. Tucke was furnished with a large libra ry, aud was, notwithstanding his isolated situation, extensively acquainted with the affairs of his times." 1Yir. Tuck's views 41 regard to the Great .Awaken ing in the time of Whitfield are given in a commu nication from him to a convention of ministers assem blecl in Boston in July, 1743, to consicler the subject, Uc writes: Providence is now sending sickness into my family, so that I cannot be in Boston this week; I therefore send my thoughts in writing.

His youth was passed in the usual manner upon his father's farm, in laborious occupation, with suc:h advantag·cs only 01' eduention as nrc iucille11t to the sons of N cw England farmers. But the aspiration for something hig·hcr aucl better, which has in so nfany instances influencecl the children of intelligent parents rearing their families in obscure localities, was early awakened in young "'\V atTen, and at the age of sh:teen he began to leave his home in winter for the advantage of attending a high school in a neighbor ing villag·e. By constant mul untiring diligence and industry, he in this manner soon qualified himself to become n teacher, ancl for severn1 years taught winter schools, spending the summers in work on his father's form. His father sympathized with him in his noble pur pose nnd in the efforts he was making to accomplish it, but yet was unable to do for him much more than 84 ROBERT TUCK, OF II.Al\IPTON, N.

The death of a brother, and unavoidable delay con sequent thereupon, compelled him to abandon the cherished hope of a collegiate eclucation, and he was induced to accept a flattering situation in the public schools of Hallowell, lYfainc. Uncleciclcd as to his ultimate vocation in life, he devoted his leisure hours for some time to the study of law, and also to the study of medicine ; finally settling down, however, into the purpose of following the occupation of a teacher. He made a special study of elocution, and llOSscsscd rare ability in transferring to his pupils the c11thush1i:;m which he himself folt iu thh; branch of culture, and tJ10 effect of his instruction ancl example in this regard h_as been m_anifest in eloquent wol'cls spoken from pulpit, bar and platfbrm.

He took hig·h rank as a teacher, aml years after was several times called to serve upon the school board of Roxbury. His suc cess in Massachusetts led to his being invited to be come Principal of the lifoc1~1 School of New Britain in connection with the N ornrnl School of Connecticut.

Dr. Tuck was horn in Kensington, and received his enrly edu cation in the schools of New Hampshire. \,Vitho11t the advan tages of a colll·~i:itc preparation, by his close application and nssiduity in the study of his profession with Dr. George Hay ward, of Boston,· he enrly took place in the first rank or profi ciency, :\11() secured the approbation and patronage of the most eminent physicians and surgeons in the state. Coming a professional stranger among us about twelve years · ag-o, he w:1s successful in winning the esteem and securing the confidence of ot1r whole community to an extent and degree only to have been attained by love, so largely possessed, of the profes sional talent, skill and ambition, and the amiability of disposition, urbanity and courtesy of manners and faithfulness to his whole duty, and in all his intercourse-public, professional and social which was his must fortunate endowment. '\Ve have, with just reason, been lecl to regard him as a public benefactor-for we felt he could dispense all that aid and relief, in cases of physical suffering among us, which could be admin istered by the profession anywhere-and favored were we in his residence in our midst.

Shortly before her death, she said: '' I kno,v that my Father hath in store for me far better mansions than any I have had here," and in this hope, with praying hearts around her, she passed away on the evening of the twenty-ninth anniver- sary of her marriage. .

JOSEPH IIENRY7 ( Samuel Jones,6 John,5 Jolm;' 3 2 1 tlolin, Edwm·d, Robert ), born March 12, 1812, being the youngest son of his parents that lived to manhood; never married. His name is here introduced in order to giye some account (howev~r incomplete) of his life and his labors. Joseph Henry Tuck, son of Samuel Jones Tuck and Judith (Gardner) Tuck, was born in Dorchester, Mass., :March 12, 1812 ; graduated at" the Boston High School; learned the trade of watch-making. He was of an inventive genius, and wllile working in a candle manufoctory, invented the endless wick. This appears to have been his first important inven tion; but others-some of them of great value-fol lowc,l. Ile went to Englnncl for the purpose, it is 1,mid, of introducing his inventions into thnt conutl'y. Ile g·ot into business by establishing himself in Lon don as a civil engineer, having with him for some time his nephew; Stephen ~mnuel Davis. For a quar ter of a century or more he was constantly occupied in inventing nnd introducing improved machinery. Some of the facts here stated have been gnthere(l fi·om Drake's Dictionary of .American Biography ; and in order to show something of the character and extent of l\fr. Tuck's inventions, I quote from that work the following statement : '' Among the fifty-five patents taken by him in dif ferent countries, are those for a candle machine, wrought-iron and bitumen gas and water- pipes, a ventilating machine, a dredging machine, · a rotary engine, a new system of breakwater fo1· harbors, and .AND HIS DESCEl>.TJlANTS. 111 his steam-engine pucking-the most profitnble of his inventions. He estnblishecl, after great lnbor in over coming prejmlice, &c., the company to lay the first submarine electric-cable in 1848-49, between Dover and Calais, but was robbecl of his interests in it by those whom he hnd interested in and assisted in plan ning that great undertaking. His plans am1 4mprove ments for excavating the Suez Canal were taken by the contractors; but illness compelled him to abandon further connection with the unclertnking." Mr. Tuck afterward returned to the United States, having accumulated a ·large amount of pro1)erty, the result of his inventive talent, made effective by close application, great energy and much hara work; though the profits from some of his inventions had go11e more largely to others than to himscH: On his arrival, find ing a brother and sister who had formerly been pros pt'1·ou~, then nrnC'h rcducecl in their circumstances, he , generously coutrilmtcd to their relief.
