  • Death date for the Queen's 4th great grandmother, Henrietta Baker, wife

    From Johnny Brananas@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 28 10:11:21 2022
    No dates are given on her genealogics.org page:

    https://genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00076320&tree=LEO

    Her husband Martin Tucker died in 1792.

    Court proceedings in Ireland in which her son Martin Tucker, Jr., sued his uncle's widow provide more information:

    "The testator [Henry Baker] died in 1822 without having revoked or altered his will, and without leaving any lawful issue. He had only one brother, who died in his lifetime unmarried and without issue, and an only sister, Henrietta Baker, who
    intermarried with Martin Tucker the plaintiff's father, and died in the year 1828, leaving the plaintiff her eldest son and heir-at-law."

    So apparently Henrietta (Baker) Tucker died in 1828. Which makes me question the marriage year given by genealogics (1745) -- i.e., her husband himself would only be 16 years of age in 1745.

    This adds a bunch more info:

    "Henrietta Tucker née Baker (1745?–1828) of Kilkenny was a lifelong friend of the Ladies of Llangollen. She is frequently mentioned in _The Hamwood Papers of The Ladies of Llangollen and Caroline Hamilton_ edited by Mrs. G. H. Bell (London: Macmillan,
    1830) and in Sarah Ponsonby's letters to Sarah Tighe (RL.11554). She married Colonel Martin Tucker (1729–1792) of Chester and had twelve children with him (seven sons and five daughters), including Francis Tucker ... Martin Tucker ... [Sir] Edward
    Tucker ... Elizabeth Tucker ... Mary Tucker ... Dorothea Tucker ..."

    The son Francis must have died before the date of the suit in order for Martin to be "eldest."
