Rhodes Family Genealogy Family Histories: Robert Tucker
born 1604
died March 11, 1681/82
Listed as living in Weymouth, Mass about 1635. He afterward removed to Glouchester, where he held office of Recorder, and where some of his children were probably born. He went back to
Weymouth and held several important offices in that town. He removed to Milton, Mass about the time that town was incorporated in 1662 and Robert purchased several adjoining lots on Brush Hill, owned by widow Farnsworth and Elder Henry Withington and Mrs. Fenno. Containing in all 117 acres and bordering on the lands that his son James Tucker had purchased
some time previous. The Withington purchase was 50 acres for which he paid 100 pounds. This has retained it's original name down to the present time. He was town clerk in Milton for several years and the first records of that time are in his handwriting, which shows that he was indeed the first Town Recorder. He was the representative of the town several years in the Legislature and was active in the church being a member of the Church committee. Robert Tucker died March 11, 1682, at the age of 78, and was buried on the 13th of March. He was married to Elizabeth Allen. The only authority for saying that her name was Allen is that he refers in his will to his wife Elizabeth and his brother-in-law Deacon Allen. [:ITAL]6
