Notes from Ancestral File No. 2SK4-TL2 (for husband Jacob Stucker):
Just before 8-15-1782 we find his wife [Eve] and sons, James A., David, Jacob,Phillip and daughter Polly at Bryant's Station. They were in Cabin 16during the siege [of Bryant's Station]. She is mentioned as Widow Stucker, her husband havingbeen killed by the Indians there. (See Notes of Jacob Stucker). Phillip stated that his father was killed by Indians while on a scoutingexpedition. Jacob's brother-in-law, John Castle, was with him at thetime, also the don of Jacob who became a famous ranger known as "IndianJake". Eve, the widow, got a grant of 400 acres of land on the dividingridge between the Kentucky River and Gleen Creek in Woodford County,Kentucky (then Virginia). This land she divided among her three livingchildren in 1793. They were Jacob, Jr., Phillip and Polly. David waskilled at Harmer's defeat in 1790. Notes on Jacob Stucker quotes he waskilled about the time of the siege of Bryant's Station - August 1782.Also in these same notes on Jacob, it days Eve Stucker died December 1795and was buried in Woodford Co., Kentucky. David was a ranger with Jacob,Jr. at Georgetown in 1787. James Andrew came with his mother to Bryant'sStation in 1782. He was a soldier according to Shane's Papers and wa skilled at Harmer's defeat in 1790. No record of his marrying. NOTE: There is a much more interesting account of these two Jacobs inAnna M. Aldridge's book entitled, "JACOB STUCKER OF EXTER TOWNSHIP, BERKSCOUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA." In chapter II I refer to some of the No. 4 lineas I have had personal contact with a number of them or incorrespondence. (Stucker, Essie 1957 pps 12, 13, 14).
