The origin of the Tuck family is traced back to two brothers who, at an early day, emigrated from England to the United States, and settled in Virginia. From one of these brothers descended Joseph Tuck, who was born in Halifax County, Va., July 4, 1800, and when seventeen years of age moved with his parents to Blount County, Tenn., where, January 13, 1825, he married Miss Elizabeth Bond, a native of that county, born in October, 1809. In 1835 they moved to McMinn County, Tenn., remaining there until 1837, when they came to this county, and located one and a half miles west of Brighton. There the mother still lives. The father died May 25, 1887. He was an industrious, well-to-do farmer, and a good citizen. He and wife became members of the Methodist Episcopal Church about 1825, and he was a Democrat in politics. In their family were ten children, six sons and four daughters; of these one son and daughter are dead, and one son lives at Willits, Cal., and one at Sherman, Texas. The others are citizens of this county, and are members of the Methodist church, South, and Democrats in politics.
Joseph Tuck moved with his family from Blount Co to McMinn Co TN in 1835 and on to Polk Co MO in 1837 settling 1.5 miles west of Brighton MO.
