Notes for William Robert TUCK
Father Robert Tuck did not believe it was right for the South to secede from the Union, but he saw two sons go off to fight for the Confederacy. William Robert Tuck, at the age of 17, joined General Joseph E. Johnston’s Army; and James Isaiah Tuck fought in General T. R. R. Cobb’s Legion and was killed in the first Confederate raid into Maryland. He was buried in a new gray uniform made by his mother in Stevensburg, Virginia
