Hello. I am descended from Augustin (Austin) Rucker and his wife, Franky George. Austin and Franky lived in Anderson and Knox counties in Tennessee. I am presently searching for the names of the parents of Augustin (Austin) Rucker.

This site is an attempt to share with others what I've learned about my Rucker family history in my many years of research. I hope my information will be helpful to others in their search for their ancestors. If you have any questions concerning my Rucker family information, please feel free to contact me.

TAYLOR'S CEMETERY IN UNION COUNTY, TENNESSEE
Most of my Rucker ancestors are buried in Taylor's Cemetery. The Cemetery is beside the Taylor's Grove Baptist Church in the Lead Mine Bend community.
