John Tuckwiller moved from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to Greenbrier County in what is now West Virginia. He built a log cabin in or near Rich Hollow and was the progenitor of a large Tuckwiller family which has been prominent in the Greenbrier Valley and the State of WV for many decades. Many of the men have been college-educated farmers and businessmen as well as being well-known leaders in their churches and in organizations such as the State Fair of West Virginia- see especially Ross Tuckwiller, 78819303. Tuckwiller women married into Hedrick, Wilson, and many other well-known Greenbrier families, and added to the Tuckwiller heritage.
