m. 01 Jan 1858, to Angeline Elizabeth Kellogg (b. 01 Oct 1838, Plum River, IL, d. 19 Aug 1881, Calistoga, CA)

       George Tucker and his father Reason were overland emigrants of 1846; they were members of the Smith Company, with which the Graves family had traveled before joining the Donner Party.
       Young George and Billy Coon stayed in a base camp in the foothills guarding the provisions and horses while his father and other members of the First Relief hiked up to the Donner camps. In 1879 George wrote a lengthy memoir for C. F. McGlashan. At that time he was living in Napa County, CA, where he was a friend and neighbor of W. C. Graves. George’s house is now the visitor’s center for the Bothe-Napa State Park.
       George’s wife Angeline, a daughter of Florentine Erwin Kellogg, was also an emigrant of 1846. She and her family were among those who took Hastings Cutoff ahead of the Donner Party.
